What Participants Say About The Program:

"Thanks for all the support and coaching you are providing. It has helped me to move higher and higher levels of application and understanding. This is a great model and well worth my time. The integration and expansion of these ideas are occurring nicely for me and I could have provided story after story yesterday of my success. Your work is very important! Thanks Again."

- T.D., Registered Nurse -

"Thank you so much for the discussion today. I approached my meeting with your [coaching] in mind, … we traced our issue back to a miscommunication we had months ago. We were able to identify and resolve the issues, and I feel relieved and proud that I was able to do this. You have been such a valuable resource; I wish I could hold onto you after this course is completed! Thanks Again."

Client Centred Coaching Skills For Health Professionals

There is a significant shift happening in health organizations, hospitals, clinics and health care centers that serve clients with chronic disease challenges. The shift is toward a mode of health care delivery that focuses on empowering clients to become experts in their own health management. It involves coaching the client for them to take control and be responsible for the daily self-management of their chronic condition.

As stated by Funnell and Anderson in Empowerment and Self-Management of Diabetes, "In the past the medical model promoted the idea that health care providers know best and patients have an obligation to follow their direction. Patient education was designed to promote compliance and adherence in an effort to get patients to change. Unfortunately this has proven to be somewhat ineffective as the patient’s individual lifestyle goals, priorities and motivators were not “drawn in” to fully engage the patient to commit to their treatment and on-going self-care."

Client satisfaction is important to us.
