Module
Cultivate Connection
Presence, through the essential skills of connection and communication, is essential for both theprofessional and the client to maintain a meaningful relationship.
Cultivate Autonomy with the Coach Approach
We connect by employing the key being skills: calm, present, open, accepting, humble, warm, grateful. We communicate by employing the key doing skills: mindful listening, open-ended questions, reflections.
Cultivate Motivation
Positivity opens the door to identifying and leveraging motivation. A person’s motivation is the life force behind behaviour change – the underlying “why” that drives decisions.
Cultivate Positivity and Strengths
The backbone of successful behaviour change is efficacy. Efficacy begins with an acknowledgement of the person’s strengths, skills and capacities. Positive emotions also lead to creative thinking, innovation and a willingness to utilizes more resources in support of change.
Cultivate Self-Compassion and Relationship
The strength and quality of relationship with a healthcare provider is the most important determinant within your control of behavioural change. We build trust through acknowledgement of others as capable collaborators, for whom we have empathy (not pity) and compassion.
Cultivate Confidence and Readiness for Action
Mastery experiences, or successful experiments with behaviours, lead to long-term behaviour change.
Success begets success and through careful planning, with an awareness of readiness, people set themselves up for success.
