How to Get Started working
with a Wellness Coach
It is in the best interest of you, the client,
that a minimum of a 3 month contract is agreed upon. Meaningful
changes happen over time as you learn how to sustain changes
over a lifetime. You can expect success in changing lifetime
habits and behaviors, as goals are created and revised with
constant mentoring and support by the wellness coach.
The work involved in understanding the process of change and
the work necessary for the improvement of one's overall quality
of life cannot happen without allowing for the element of
TIME.
Change begins with…
Step A
When a client is unsure if the coaching process is the right
direction for his/her journey,
IFC will conduct a 20 minute orientation session with the
client as a way to introduce the process of wellness coaching,
including an over view of the coaching process, time requirements,
fee schedule, and objectives of coaching program. This step
is optional. There is a $15 fee for the orientation session.
Step 1: Commitment
Once the client has committed to the program, a health and
wellness Client Assessment Questionnaire will be completed
by the client. The personal wellness assessment questionnaire
is designed to identify client patterns of behavior and habits,
client strengths, areas of improvement, and provides the coach
with an overall picture of a client's health and wellness.
The initial 60-90 minute session will be scheduled at this
time. Contact Institute For Change for fee schedule.
Step 2: Creating a Vision
Through non judgmental inquiry, the wellness coach will gathering
client information that when added to the results of the health
and wellness questionnaire taken by the client, will provide
the coach with a clear picture of the client's health and
wellness. A WELLNESS vision will be created by the client
as well as the formulation of 3 month goals within this first
session. Weekly goals will be established and the next session
will be scheduled at this time.
Step 3: Working the Vision
Weekly or bi weekly sessions will be conducted by the coach
with each session focusing on reviewing goals, discussion
of client success, establishing new goals and a plan of action,
all while keeping the end goals in mind.
Step 4: Success!
The client will experience weekly success and a feeling of
accomplishment while the coach supports and celebrates each
step the client takes towards lifelong changes in health and
wellness behaviors.
