Wellcoaches is dedicated to advancing the field of coaching in healthcare and wellness on a global scale. Social Mission Our team makes the difference. Wellcoaches is dedicated to advancing the field of coaching in healthcare and well-being on a global scale as a means for personal transformation, first for professionals, and then for their clients. Over the last decade, our team has helped create, lead, and support nonprofit organizations that translate science into coaching practices and support coaching research (Institute of Coaching), deliver national standards and certification for health and wellness coaches (National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching), and deliver lifestyle medicine education (Institute of Lifestyle Medicine). Commitment to Anti-Racism The Wellcoaches team is awake to, and in empathy with, the intense and profound pain of racism. We are listening deeply to the voices, perspectives and wisdom of black leaders and communities. We are mourning the killings of black and brown men and women over centuries. We also understand that the Black, Indigenous and People of Color (BIPOC) communities have been terribly impacted by the COVID-19 health crisis and that this is just one symptom of the long history of systemic racism and inequity. Wellcoaches is committed to anti-racism, which is sustained action to help people outgrow racist ideas, actions, and policies. We believe that racial diversity in our hiring practices and in selecting global partners is invaluable. The Wellcoaches team includes Black, Hispanic, and Asian members. And, the Wellcoaches community is diverse, comprised of coaches of every race and from nations around the world. Leveraging that strength, we are collaborating to offer pro bono coaching and coach training that supports BIPOC. We are actively finding paths to support the underserved and underestimated in schools, healthcare, education, and places of worship. Together, we can shift our minds and hearts, one day at a time, to value, recognize, and create cultures of true equality which also fully respect and appreciate the rich contributions of our differences.

Learn More Institute of Coaching National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching In 2010, co-founded and co-led by Wellcoaches CEO Margaret Moore, the National Consortium for Credentialing of Health and Wellness Coaches (NCCHWC) formed to build minimum standards and legitimacy for the role of health and wellness coaches. NCCHWC evolved to become the National Board for Health and Wellness Coaching (NBHWC), now a nonprofit subsidiary of the National Board of Medical Examiners, and launched the first national board certification for health and wellness coaches in 2017. The Wellcoaches Core Coach Training & Certification Program is an approved program by the NBHWC as a prerequisite for the NBC-HWC, national board certified health and wellness coach.

Learn Basic Coaching Skills Become a Behavior Change Agent While Health and Well-being Coaches partner with clients seeking self-directed and lasting changes, we can each improve our relationships at work, and at home, by shifting just a few key behaviors. Based on the most important concepts in our full Health and Well-being Coach Training , this abbreviated course is designed for the student who does not intend to become a Coach, but acknowledges a need to shift the way that they interact with others. Self-paced course This course is designed to provide you with essential skills needed to have engaging and influential conversations at home or in the workplace - with clients, patients, co-workers or loved ones. The course includes six videos (50-60 minutes each) which explore the cultivation of connection, autonomy, self-compassion, positivity, motivation and confidence. The videos include lectures from Wellcoaches Faculty member Michael Scholtz , as well as student discussions and coaching demonstrations. Once you have watched the videos, complete the Knowledge Assessment (passing score of 80% required) and the Course Feedback Form.

Invite a Wellcoaches faculty member to facilitate the "Behavior Change Agent" course on-site at your facility Contact us to learn more Other Course Formats Topics Cultivate Connection Presence, through the essential skills of connection and communication, is essential for both the health professional and the patient to connect to the relationship and the activity.
 Cultivate Autonomy with the Coach Approach We connect by employing the key being skills: calm, present, open, accept, humble, warm, grateful. We communicate by employing the key doing skills: mindful listening, open-ended questions, reflections, and inform. Cultivate Motivation Positivity opens the door to seeing clear to motivation. A patient’s motivation is the life force behind behavior change – the underlying “why” that drives decisions. This “why” cannot, and must not, come from the healthcare provider but must be intrinsic and internal. Cultivate Positivity and Strengths The backbone of successful behavior change is efficacy. Efficacy begins with an acknowledgement of the patient’s strengths, skills and capacities. Positive emotions also lead to creative thinking, innovation and a willingness to utilize more resources in support of change. Cultivate Self-Compassion and Relationship The relationship with a healthcare provider can be the most important determinant of a patient’s progress. We build trust through our acknowledgement of a patient as a capable collaborator, for whom we have empathy (not pity) and compassion. Cultivate Confidence and Readiness for Action Mastery experiences, or successful experiments with behaviors, lead to long-term behavior change. Success begets success and through careful planning, with an awareness of readiness, patients can be set up for such success. Contact us to learn more This course is perfect for: Front desk employees at a wellness center who interact with all members Doctors who want to have an impact on their patients in brief conversations Nurses who want to connect more deeply with patients in quick interactions Teachers who need more strategies for listening to and connecting with students Parents struggling with the relationships with their children Executives who can influence the culture of a team Course Audience
