Q

Why are professional coaches needed in the areas of physical and mental wellness?

A

Because many people do not believe that we can master our weight and wellness.

Four factors lead us to choose quick fixes that don’t last

1. Demands of everyday life
2. Confusing and vast array of wellness guidelines, products, services and information that make it difficult to find what works for you as an individual
3. Overcoming obstacles to change: confusion, resistance, and ambivalence
4. Histories of repeated failure which lead to low self-efficacy

Q

How does the coach approach differ from the expert approach?

A

Coaching focuses on helping clients grow and become experts in their own well-being. Coaches guide the coaching process and allow the client to choose their goals and strategies. Coaches assist clients to discover their strengths, clarify their values, increase their awareness, set priorities, meet their challenges, brainstorm possibilities, and design positive actions.

Expert approach tells people what to do (makes recommendations based on their expert knowledge)and is not ideal for helping people change when they have low self-efficacy.

Expert approach includes educating and giving advice or making recommendations.
