This 6-week course on group coaching is a win-win-win. You reach more people and your clients access more affordable coaching.

​

Participants will learn:

• how to develop a successful group coaching practice
• what group coaching is and how it differs from individual coaching
• logistics of group coaching (determining group size, meeting length, fees, etc.)
• how to manage group dynamics
• how to market your program

The widely used approach of Motivational Interviewing (MI) offers many evidence-informed, person-centered communication skills and techniques to complement your coaching competencies. Professionals can use these skills to achieve successful and sustained behavior outcomes and encourage growth and progress with their clients.

There is robust scientific evidence to support the efficacy of MI in helping patients make positive health-behavior changes. Research has demonstrated that motivational interviewing can improve client engagement, help to resolve client ambivalence, and promote client activation in activities that lead to better health outcomes.

Learning activities will include demonstrations, class discussions and presentations, and small group exercises, with opportunities for participant practice with feedback.

Consider attending this class if you are a coach or healthcare professional who:

  • Works with people to change health behaviors.

  • Are interested in learning more about MI or building/increasing the MI knowledge skills you already have

  • Would like to translate MI knowledge into practice.

  • Wants a hands-on opportunity to hone MI skills.
