Although no coach can assist a client until they are ready and willing to for themselves, however, the coaches can play active role by connecting clients with their values and motivators. In addition, coaches can ask clients open-ended question regarding the Importance of wellness, healthy eating and coping stress to them. This will encourage talks between the coach and client.

By assisting client to be specific about their goal, they want to achieve their vision will increase their level of success. Being specific about the details of how and when is important because it gives clients a set timeline in which to reach the desired outcome. Three examples of cognitive weekly smart goals are, I will identify and list 5 of my top motivators for my priority goals for next week. Every Sunday night before I go to bed I will list and evaluate the pros and cons for losing weight for next week. For 2 days this week I will log my exercises and behavior after I eat. Examples of behavior weekly SMART goals are, I will exercise three times a week for 45 minutes. Every day I eat 3 servings of fruits and vegetable 5 days a week.

Why is it important to discuss client strengths and motivators when setting goals with clients?
By discussing clients about their strengths and motivators coaches can decide whether the motivators are strong enough to keep client on track.

By keeping connecting the clients vision to their motivators will assist clients commit to losing weight. Coaches can play a role by assisting clients identify reasons that positive motivators. We all have different motivators, therefore, understanding
This method is grounded in the strengths perspective, a perspective in which the worker center’s their sessions around the clients’ abilities, gifts, and strengths (Shulman, 2016). Instead of focusing on what is wrong with the client, the worker highlights what is right with the client building on their strengths instead of emphasizing their deficits: the client already has what they need to get better or solve their problem (Corcoran, 2008). The role of the worker in this model is to help the client recognize their potential, recognize what resources they already have, and discuss what is going well for the client and what they have been able to accomplish already (Shulman, 2016). Techniques commonly used in this model, although they are not exclusive to this model, include an emphasis on pre- and between-session change, exception questions, the miracle question, scaling questions, and coping questions (Shulman, 2016). These questions are used for many reasons: for example, the miracle question is used because “sometimes asking clients to envision a brighter future may help them be clearer on what they want or to see a path to problem-solving.” (Corcoran, 2008, p. 434) while coping questions are used to allow the client to see what they are already accomplishing, rather than what they are transgressing (Corcoran, 2008). All
These must be recognised and overcome where possible with a more “let’s not look for obstacles not to coach” and a more “let’s find a solution to do it” frame of mind!
What goals would you want to work on the client based on the information available? Explain why you chose those goals and how you think they will help meet the client 's needs.

Motivational interviewing is based on a client centered approach to therapy that uses open-ended questions, affirmation, reflective listening and summaries to help the client recognize the pros and cons of change and their reasons for resisting change thereby eliminating their ambivalence about change. Once the client deals with their ambivalence the Miller and Rollick believe that the client will be able to make the necessary changes. In addition, motivational interviewing gets the client to argue for change not the counselor. Furthermore, the client not the counselor is responsible for their progress.

There are many different assessment models developed which enable the coach to assess the client from a number of varied perspectives. The majority of these models are simply used as a tool, providing a schema for noting observations. An ideal assessment model is an instrument used to obtain structure within the framework of the coaching encounter. The coach is never limited to the parameters of the model, but the model should provide a guide in the evaluation of the client. In other words, the model allows the coach to develop a frame of reference for client observation. Although, there is no single correct coaching model, the coach must rely on a broad range of coaching techniques to adequately assess the client’s condition and present circumstance. It is the multiplicity of views that offers the greatest coaching models (Watts & Corrie, 2013).
People inherently have the power to solve their own problems and come to their own solutions. Clients are expected to play and active role in their own change by being open to expressing their problems,creating goals and ultimately evaluating their progress. Clients often use stories to explore their problems in preparation for deciding which goals they want to set and subsequently accomplish. Each client has specific issues and life experiences which the goal should reflect. Clients are expected to put great effort into discovering a desire that the client has deep convictions about and will commit to putting in the work it takes to change behaviors that are no longer working in their life. When the client discovers what they want to be changed it can become their goal. The goal needs to be important to the client and not something that someone else wants them to change. When ...
Doctors who work at physical therapy clinics consistently encourage their patients to complete their therapy so that they can heal—although physicians may push their patient to move towards a healthier life, it does not mean that the patient will be open to suggestion; it would be up to the patient to truly decide to motivate themselves towards a healthier lifestyle—and until that happens the main service that a physical therapist can provide includes: education on lifestyle choices, and the consequence for each choice—how therapy can help the patient/how the therapy suits their needs, and how to set up a cost effective way to complete therapy.
...used and accomplish many tasks. However, the goal setting process should involve both Alex and James. By both individuals being involved in the process, it allows Alex to understand what James’ vision is and it allows her the chance to help him achieve his specific goals. Also, Alex should encourage James to write down his goals and review them on a daily basis, so he can be reminded of his job at hand and the steps he can take to achieve his goals and stay focused. A good coach would help the employee find ways to achieve his/ her goals and provide feedback in what aspects could be changed to increase performance to reach or exceed his/ her goals. Therefore, it is very beneficial for Alex and James to set his goals together and then Alex works towards helping him achieve these specific goals in an effort for James to feel a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction.
The SMART goal of the obesity program is to reduce the obese population in Pitt County by creating a healthier diet program. Different objectives will be needed in order to reach this goal. The first objective is that from July 2016 through December 2016 100 community members will participate in the health department’s health promotion activities. This objective aligns with the reinforcement construct of the Social Cognitive Theory. By repeatedly participating in the activities, the 100 community members will be rewarded with the knowledge they receive and also motivation to change their behavior. By having an enjoyable time, they will be rewarded and want to keep coming back to the activities. The second objective is that following the 6-month duration; the majority of the participants will lose 2-10% of their original body weight by changing to a healthier diet. The reason the participants need to lose 2-10% of their body weight is to either prevent or reduce the chances of gaining other health diseases associated with obesity, including coronary artery disease and Type 2 Diabetes. This objective aligns with the self-efficacy construct. By losing a little bit of body fat, the participants will believe in their ability to lose weight, and continue to do so. The third objective is that on June 17 and June 24, informational brochures will be distributed to the community members to create awareness and reminders to join the obesity program, and gain knowledge about the health condition of obesity. This objective deals with the behavioral capability construct of the Social Cognitive Theory because the participants will gain the knowledge and skills needed to change their behavior through the brochures.
I wanted to start telling the story of our experience by sharing the feelings I brought into this exercise. A few years ago I underwent an experience of coaching through several sessions that left me this taste in the mouth that the coaching as a tool to develop others is not very effective. I have not taken the time to deeply analyze what went wrong but in general if I had to choose to do it again I think I would choose another methodology to foster change. Its objective in general is to assist in building behavioral skills, but in my opinion to really look for a long lasting change you need to give a deeper understanding to the lack of a certain skills, strongly reflect on the variables linked to it as could be the emotions, values and motivations that conduce you towards a behavior different that that one desired. Personally, I enjoy seeking information that allows me to jump beyond the facts, and staying on the behavioral side of the reality limits my passion for inspiration and insight.
When trying to help a client Young (2017, p. 149) suggests that high support and moderate levels of challenge lead to the best conditions for change. Two building blocks that helpers use to challenge clients include giving feedback and confrontation. When confronting a client the counsellor is pointing out inconsistencies and blind spots within the client's story (Young, 2017 p. 167). In this video the counsellor was moderately confrontational as she did not want to insult the client or lose their trust, but rather to gain clarity and to help the client realize her discrepancies where she may not have noticed them prior to the session.
...e very important. When these goals are specific, measureable, attainable, realistic and timely they are the most effective. When I set my SMART goal in order to increase my physical activity, the goal was to feel better about myself and to have a clearer mind so that I could do well with my studies this resulted in increasing my physical health and wellness. There were a few challenges of having to force myself to get out of bed even though I was feeling really anxious. I think when making a SMART goal and changing that particular behaviour there will be changes that need to be faced and overcome. These might include psychological, family and work commitments, health challenges and many other duties. Motivation and time management therefore need to be considered when making a SMART goal to make this possible and therefore can succeed in their new behaviour change.
The Coaching process would create a tuneful balance for all aspects of the individual's life, in addition to developing comprehensible paths which would transfer the client into a brighter future.
