Theme 4: Coaching Solutions
You were just introduced to clients that represent many of the typical challenges you will face. One common theme in all three of your clients was a desire to change but a lack of information needed to do so. This gave you an opportunity to apply many of the tools you have learned in the first phase of your program.
What if you have a client who already knows what to do? Their reactions to your telling them more of “what to do” causes walls between them and their change. Yet, they do understand the importance of making a lifestyle conversion. There is a desire for moving forward. What is stopping them from getting there? How do you get them there? What skills do you use for this scenario?

After viewing the video, post to the discussion board a comparison between the scenario with this client and your virtual one. Go to the Discussion 2 page (under the "more..." tab) for the requirements of your two postings.
