How to conduct a health coaching session

[@PassportMeetsParadise]

Out of all the videos I have watched this has been the most effective, most helpful and intentional! Not just a bunch of babble, you helped to calm my anxiety by giving a detailed breakdown. Thank you Michelle!

[@michellemaclean]

You are so welcome. I appreciate your kind words.

[@BriannaPeters]

Michelle is an excellent teacher. She knows what she’s talking about. She was so easy to follow. Excellent communicator. So excited to begin trying this with my first few clients. Thanks Michelle.

Ive been in a program for awhile and this is what ive been needing

[@michellemaclean]

I'm glad to hear that my content is filling in some of those gaps for you.

[@andreaherbert9243]

Michelle! I just stumbled across your youtube channel... I recently was in the CIP for IIN and had a couple of calls with you. I'm glad to see you here. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[@michellemaclean]

That is awesome. Yes I remember! Glad you found me here.

[@MomMadness1]

Incredible

[@ingarodri9318]

This was so helpful thank you! I’m considering this as a career and was wondering what an actual health coaching session looks like. This answered it in detail, tysm ☺️💛

[@michellemaclean]

Awesome I am so glad it was helpful.

[@hannamercedes1265]

This was such a helpful and concise video. Pure gold. Thank you Michelle! 👍🏼

[@michellemaclean]

Oh you are welcome Hanna!

[@LCMontalvo]

This video soothed my anxiety about beginning coaching thank you so much !

[@michellemaclean]

Awesome. Great to hear it!

[@samanthadinnage9820]

Thanks Michelle this is really helpful. I was wondering how many notes you take during a session?

[@michellemaclean]

I personally take a lot of notes but I think everyone has to find their own style and what works for them. To me it's about remembering what the client said. It's not for the purpose of transcribing and sending it back to the client. They should also be taking notes.

[@Nishfootballplayer1]

Awe-some! Thank you So Much Michelle. For a new Health Coach this walkthrough video is gold. You are Great, Thank you! :)

[@michellemaclean]

You are so welcome TyToo! Glad this was a helpful video for you.

[@adrianacooper459]

I appreciate the genuineness of your sessions, this is so very helpful. I think this excellent! Question potentially for a next video, how do you select your niche?

[@michellemaclean]

Adriana I did record a video on niche, check it out and see if this helps kzbin.info/www/bejne/oH-nnqKraNqko6c

[@AvonneHeavenly]

I am so glad I did the “coaching intensive practicum” CIP at IIN with you!

[@michellemaclean]

Thanks for saying that!

[@hormonegoddess]

This is such a great outline for ongoing coaching sessions! Would love to hear more about your first couple foundation sessions and how you run the client exploration work, if your looking for future video inspiration.

[@michellemaclean]

Thanks Eila. Glad you found this helpful. I teach my complete process, including the foundation sessions, in my course Health Coaching Essentials, www.gethealthcoachskills.com/hce-self-study/

[@DeborahSmith-ht7ps]

Thank you so much. It's great to have this foundation. I took many notes.

[@michellemaclean]

Awesome Thanks for tuning in Deborah.

[@nicolajohnstone9629]

Thanks Michelle. Loving your videos, you explain so nicely and dont talk too fast! Can I ask, if we cant actually prescribe or do meal plans, what do you say to clients about actual food to eat and how to stick to healthy eating if you are a nutrition coach solely?

[@michellemaclean]

If you are an RD or nutritionist then that would be a completely different scope of practice. I recorded another video on what we can talk to our clients about when it comes to food . You can check it out here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4CrqpiurtxnZ7s

[@nidhi110686]

Appreciate the signposting which will make it helpful for clients if used in conducting the session

[@michellemaclean]

Yes exactly, the structure absolutely supports the clients.

[@cynthiagilchrist7330]

Thank you very much this is absolutely more than I expected to get out of this

[@michellemaclean]

Awesome Cynthia glad to hear that. Always hope to over deliver!

[@nichole2586]

Wow this was so helpful and thorough with each step. I’m a new Health Coach and putting myself out there. So thank you so much!!!

[@michellemaclean]

I am so glad Nichole, all the best with your practice.

[@tinafleming7221]

Great tips. Thanks Michelle! Do you think it’s good to get a digital timer to keep track of time?

[@michellemaclean]

Sure whatever helps you to stay on time.

[@loribrayton8517]

This was incredibly useful as I'm about to have my health coaching practical assessment and was hoping to find a guide for the session. This video was that and more! Thank you!

[@michellemaclean]

Awesome Lori, thanks for your comments. Hope your PSA went well!

[@momusic7987]

This was very helpful, but I thought that there was an outline that could be purchased , cant find it on the sight. I am finishing up certification so I'm interested in a format that works for me in my beginning stage.

[@michellemaclean]

Yes you can purchase the supporting scripts and master template here www.gethealthcoachskills.com/brilliant-health-coaching-bundle/

[@dawncarrasco8320]

Great video by far . It's very helpful. I was scared to put myself out there but this gives me hope and inspiration now.

[@michellemaclean]

I'm so glad your confidence was boosted by watching this Dawn.

Wow! This was incredibly helpful. I've just been seeing nutrition clients for a couple months, but I had absolutely no structure to my sessions and could tell I was really coming up short. Thank you!

Does your course cover, How to be a successful online health coach? I am stryggling to set up my practice as an Online Health Coach. Can you help me with this?

[@michellemaclean]

Hey there. My course covers coaching skills, process and structure but nothing on the business side of things.

Thank you! I have my first couple clients as a volunteership to practice health coaching. How do we transfer from stories? Sometimes for my client they will go off track with stories :P thank you!

[@michellemaclean]

Bottom lining is a great way to get your clients back on track. This takes some practice but you have to find a way to gently interrupt and bring them back to the present.

[@dacia6247]

[@beckyrenner1277]

What kind of training would you recommend for someone interested in becoming a health coach?

[@michellemaclean]

I can only recommend the trainings I have done. IIN, RealBalance Global Wellness, ICF accreditation and NBHWC. Oh and one more that I have not taken personally - Marilena Minucci's Quantum Coach Training.

[@beckyrenner1277]

@@michellemaclean thanks for the tips.

[@elishagabriell6529]

I'm confused. Once I close the sale through a phone call, where do I send the client to pay for the course? Or do I use Square to charge her over the phone?

[@michellemaclean]

Hi Elisha. That's right, you would have a payment process in place whether that;' through Square, Paypal, Stripe etc.

[@courtneyboyd1609]

Where did you take your health coaching ?

[@michellemaclean]

Hi Courtney. I have done a few different health coach trainings and certifications. IIN, Real Balance Global Wellness certification, I also went through the ICF, ACC process, IAHC and also have my NBC-HWC.

Haha! "What if I get a client?" That's a real fear.

It absolutely is Katherine. That's why I recommend you build your skills and confidence so you'll know what to do once you get one.

[@ceolagilchrist96]

Do you have this written out somewhere?

[@michellemaclean]

Hi Ceola, yes I have a full teaching complete with scripts of exactly what to do and say. My Health Coaching Essentials course includes this plus so much more www.gethealthcoachskills.com/hce-self-study/

[@nikkimoney3062]

This sounds like a counseling session. Not health. Minute 17, still listening and there is no talk about specific health issues. I wonder why?

[@michellemaclean]

As health coaches, the majority of the time our clients come to us for help with their health and wellness goals. But the content of the session is always up to the client. The coaching process can be applied to any topic.
