Or perhaps you’ve thought:
We’ve been there. And we can help.
Of all the skills a great coach must possess, communication ranks very close to the top.
But most coaches simply don’t have the tools to communicate effectively—especially when things get a little… tricky.
We’re here to change that.
After personally helping over 100,000 people achieve incredible body and health transformations, we’ve learned a few things about effective communication (yes, sometimes the hard way). We’ve also had the opportunity to implement effective techniques drawn from the fields of counseling psychology, behavioral economics, and neuroscience.
Now for the first time, we’ve consolidated our best communication strategies, tactics, and tools into one digital course—so you can overcome the biggest hurdles standing in the way of helping your clients achieve lasting change.
Estimated learning time: 4-6 hrs
What do we need to learn, do, and say in order to facilitate change through our coaching communication and interactions?
Leaning into the ideas of “deep change” and “deep health”, we’ll introduce and explore a model of “deep coaching” to show coaches how they can work from the most superficial layers of communication, to the root causes and issues driving human behavior.
Estimated learning time: 4-6 hrs
Borrowing from various disciplines such as counseling psychology, health communication, and high-performance coaching, we’ll look at some specific coaching approaches that you can adapt and deploy to boost your client’s change potential.
Estimated learning time: 4-6 hrs
