Masterclass: The Key Skills of Behaviour Change
Masterclass: The Key Skills of Behaviour Change and What You Might Be Missing

This webinar is brought to you by the DA New South Wales Branch (2022).

The NSW Branch Leadership Committee presents first of their masterclass series for 2022. Join us on this complimentary webinar on the topic of health coaching and learn how this skill can benefit your practice as a dietitian.

Dietitians are passionate about helping people to attain heathier lives, however some clients are more challenging than others. Clients may want to change but have trouble taking action, some struggle with motivation, others present excuses as to why change is too hard or not important, some have obstacles that throw them off, and others don’t appear committed to the goals and plan.

We may feel at a loss at where to go next… Health Coaching is a specific set of skills that practitioners utilise to facilitate effective behaviour change. It is more than motivational interviewing. It is a practice that incorporates evidence-based health behaviour change interventions and techniques from behavioural medicine research literature, positive psychology, health and coaching psychology, and performance coaching.

Which skills do you have, which are you missing? In this presentation, Shivaun Conn and Sharon Curtain from Accredited Health Coaching Australia will provide an overview of health coaching, key behaviour change skills, and share practical tips to support you with your challenging clients. There will be opportunities for questions at the end.
