Meal Planning & Coaching Skills

Learn How to Inspire Lasting Change & Client Success

Coaching Skills & Meal Planning Essentials

Tier 1, Term 4 of the Holistic Nutrition Coach Certification

Coaching Skill Building: Being educated is half the battle. The other element is knowing how to effectively coach your clients towards change.

You can tell your clients what to do until you are blue in the face, and layout all the healthy food choices in the world, but statistically less than half of them will follow your advice.

Frustrating odds to say the least!

This course provides you with the tools you need to help clients implement change.

After completing each individual nutrition course in the Holistic Nutrition Coach Certification or Holistic Nutritionist Program, you will receive a certificate of completion.

Once you complete all required courses in a program, you will receive a professional, officially stamped diploma in the mail listing your designation.

Assessment:

FINAL COURSE REQUIREMENT: CASE STUDIES

Successful completion of this course is based on a series of case six studies to demonstrate the student’s proficiency with in-depth assessment and analysis. Three case studies are based on scenarios presented by the school in which students are required to submit recommendations and provide feedback based on the parameters provided for each individual ‘client’.

The remaining three case studies are to be done with clients of your choosing – usually friends or family. Students are required to submit an in-depth outline of the intake process, interviewing method, coaching skills used, a copy of the forms/questionnaires used, and all dietary/lifestyle recommendations including a follow-up schedule, and plans for client adherence.

The case studies allow you to take everything you have learned in the Holistic Nutrition Coach Certification Program and use it in real-life scenarios while receiving valuable feedback from student advisers. It is a phenomenal learning tool and a great way to wrap up the program!
