Let's look at three considerations of a coaching relationship.

 

The first three aspects of coaching focus on what it means to capitalize on a health training partnership.

  

• Be authentic

 

When we think about our health, does this thought come to mind? "Something isn't working or needs a redo."

A coaching relationship is often an opportunity of a lifetime. 

A personal health story can take decades to write. 

Many people ask, "Is it possible to change?" 

Working with a coach is a golden moment. 

Let's put our minds to it. 

As a client, lean into the relationship with me as the coach. 

I'm here for you. 

I've been finessing for decades how best to help people deepen their relationship with health and move forward, and over and under roadblocks.

How do we know when we're being authentic?

 

 

• Connect 

 

The coach's job is to establish, monitor, and maintain the most vital connection signals with clients. 

When connections are strong, there will be trust, a more solid relationship, 

and a more significant opportunity for success. 

Does the connection feel real? 

 

 

• Have courage

 

What does it mean to be courageous with health goals? 

How committed to your success are you? 

One of my coaching jobs is to courageously call you out of your fear or sense of defeat. 

Courage may mean taking significant risks. 

As your health and wellness guide, I can help you create parameters and take you to the edge of your commitment.

 

Taking the reins

You are in charge of the coaching agenda. 

We want to deepen and move forward with your health journey. 

It's essential to have goals. What are yours? 

Have you written yours down lately? 

How do we know we've achieved our goals unless we itemize them? 

What is on the top of your healthy goal list? 

The following five aspects of coaching focus on how to get it done. 

 

Let’s use this example of a SMART goal…

 

Goal ~ Incorporate 40 minutes of mindful movement into my life four days each week, for a total of 160 minutes.

 

Specific - Clarify and pinpoint. 

We'll have the target in mind. 

Describe it in unambiguous terms.

 

I will use a variety of modalities to mindfully move my body, for 160 minutes each week, including the four types of exercise ~ 

Endurance/aerobic (bike riding, paddle tennis, ping pong, badminton )

Strength (exercise bands, kettlebells, or hand weights)

Flexibility (yoga, pilates, stretching)

Balance (tai chi, standing on one foot, yoga)

 

Measurable - Keep a diary. 

Research shows a 42% more chance of achieving goals when written down. 

 

Use a Post-it note on the bathroom mirror, car dashboard, or refrigerator to encourage a yoga session, gardening with friends, or biking to the store.

 

Attainable - What's the timeframe? Be realistic. 

Be just like Goldilocks, not hot or cold, just right. 

If maintaining a daily exercise routine is a big ask, it's better to be kind and pick it up again next week 

versus browbeating ourselves and giving up altogether. 

 

Forty minutes 4 days a week can look like 20 minutes eight times a week. It all adds up. 

 

Relevant - Dip into the goal list again. 

Why are we doing this? 

Describing how the goal fits in with how you perceive yourself can help keep you on track. 

 

I'm noticing that my anxiety is up. 

The mindful movement will help regulate my blood pressure and help me relax. 

I will have less chance of being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. 

 

Time-based

When we prioritize our goals, time and space can (often magically)open up in the calendar. Sometimes, we all need a deadline. Keep it top of mind as you work through the six weeks. 

 

Set a time limit for the goal, say six weeks. Work hard, then evaluate the progress (see Measurable above). Readjust if needed. Modify your sticky notes.  

 

We are doing this! Together. 

 

Be authentic, connect, act courageously, and make smart goals.
