In Masterful Health & Wellness Coaching, Dr. Arloski gives you the tools you need to evolve from a good coach to one of exceptional ability — one who understands the nuances of how to co-create a successful coaching alliance. You are provided with the expertise needed to forge a coaching relationship supporting lasting change. You will learn how the coaching alliance can nourish a client as they move through the stages of change, how to use the theories of positive psychology to support your client, and how to guide even the most recalcitrant of clients toward sustainable change. Masterful Health & Wellness Coaching offers all you need to master the techniques, methodology, and applied theory of health and wellness coaching at its highest level. Masterful Health & Wellness Coaching is in three parts. Part One: An introduction to the concept that great coaching is about transformation. Changing behavior needs to be viewed not through a single or uniform lens but in the context of growth and development for the client, the coach, and the growing profession of health and wellness coaching. Part Two: A focus on “How to Be,” that is, our coaching presence, our way of being in the world and with our client, and the powerful effect this has upon the coaching process. Part Three: Examining “What to Do” at a more masterful level - a deeper dive into the craft of health and wellness coaching. You will reference what you can learn from relevant theory and research, emphasizing application. Masterful Health & Wellness Coaching is for coaches who want to go beyond the basics of “SMART Goals” and accountability, beyond tracking calories and sit-ups. It is for: • Coaches who want to become scholars of coaching. • Coaches who want to develop a greater understanding of the process of behavioral change. • Coaches who want to learn more about wellness. • Coaches who want to master what the entire field of health promotion has discovered about being well. • Coaches who want to become skilled craftspeople. • Coaches who want to meet their clients with understanding, empathy, and non-judgment. • Coaches who want to be the best possible coach they can be. Michael Arloski is a master at skillfully teaching coaches how to use the TTM/stages of change with their clients, especially those in precontemplation—a real help for deepening one’s craft. —Drs.
