MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING:
The Secret Sauce for Effective Client CommunicationÂ
Motivational interviewing (MI) is a approach designed to help people find their own motivation to change.
It involves guiding conversations in a way that encourages individuals to explore their feelings, thoughts, and reasons for wanting to make a change, rather than pushing them to do so.
The power of motivational interviewing for health and fitness coaches:
Empowerment: MI helps clients feel more in control of their decisions. By encouraging them to express their thoughts and motivations, you can empower clients to take ownership of their health and fitness goals.
Build Trust: MI creates a supportive and non-judgmental environment, which strengthens the relationship between you and your client. When clients feel safe and understood, they are more likely to open up about their struggles and aspirations.
Enhance Motivation: MI focuses on uncovering the client's own reasons for change. This leads to stronger intrinsic motivation, making clients more likely to commit to their goals and stick to the plan.
Overcome Ambivalence: Many clients may feel conflicted about making changes. With MI, you can help them explore their ambivalence, allowing them to better communicate with you about their desire to change and the barriers they face. This process leads to clearer decision-making.
Goal Setting: Through MI, you can help clients set realistic and personalized goals. This can make the journey toward better health and fitness feel more achievable.
Motivational interviewing equips health and fitness coaches with effective communication strategies that leads to more meaningful and lasting changes in lives of your clients.
Hi! I'm Dr. Kasey Jo! đź‘‹
I’ve been in the health and fitness coaching space since 2016 and have a Ph.D. in Psychology
I spent years publishing research on mindset and how it impacts our health behaviors. I've used that knowledge to develop 1-1 coaching programs and a certification for coaches.
I want to see more coaches and clients be successful with long-term results and lasting behavior change.
To make this happen, we need more education and training around what matters most: mindset, communication, and psychology.
And that’s exactly what I’m here to do.
