Summary
We began with a look at the barriers your future clients will face. We then focused on one with a specific task of designing breakfast menus. This introduced us to thinking of our clients as individuals in the creation of health and wellness plans. Just as breakfast is only a part of our daily nutrition, diet is only a part of a healthy lifestyle. Our next assignment addressed the whole person through virtual clients. We took a glimpse into typical lives and built plans to transform those lives: looking at the entire situation and which tools (diet, physical activity, stress management, etc.) would bring them their desired change. We closed with a client that produced another challenge, one needing more coaching, encouragement and confidence building to start his journey.
This module gave a preview of your role as a health coach. Keep it in mind as you move further into the program studying each detail of your role in-depth. It will assist you in seeing how each piece fits into the big picture.
