7. Reflective Questions
• How would you like your work to be
different?
• What’s missing for you that would make
your work more effective and satisfying?
• Is there something you don’t feel is
happening or is optimal in your current
practice?
9. A Holistic Perspective
• The process of Health Coaching, which--
by seeing a person as intrinsically
healthy, whole, and wise-- empowers
the client to become the ultimate
expert in their own healing journey,
allowing the health of the person to
emerge.
• Lens of pathology versus lens of health
10. Health Coaching helps with change
• Humans tend to resist change, despite extensive information that it
would be a good thing to do.
• Disease management is just that—it manages the disease, but it is
not specifically designed to help the individual uniquely manage their
own health.
• Humans most successfully make changes when they
Know why the change is needed
Want to make the change
Have values that are reinforced by the change
Have necessary support and resources
Have a plan
Understand and work with their own motivations, fears, and
resistance
11. Behavioral scientists have shown
that one-on-one coaching is
among the most effective
approaches to helping people
make and sustain improvements
in their lives.
12. So, what is Professional Health Coaching?
• Uses the process of coaching
• Understands human health and disease,
the health care system, and integrative
approaches
• Sees the individual as the source of their
own solutions and healing potential
• Works with individuals in health crisis or
dealing with chronic disease, or with those
desiring improved health/prevention
13. Transformation
• Transformational work is for coach and
client both
• The difference between change and
transformation—the challenges,
possibilities, and limitations of each…
Q: What does transformation mean to you?

This means a good health coach commits to a
regular practice of self-awareness, using
whatever tools, skills and resources are
necessary over time.
