Wellness Coaching for Lasting Lifestyle Change; Michael Arloski, PhD; Ed Peg Johnson & Robin McAllister 2014
A foundational work in wellness and health coaching, Wellness Coaching For Lasting Lifestyle Change -Second Edition continues to be a leader in the field. It is the go-to book for independent coaches, health care professionals, and is often used as a text for college and university classes. The second edition continues to provide a comprehensive methodology combining the tenets of wellness with the principles of coaching. Each chapter has something new, drawing from the additional years of experience
Dr. Arloski has acquired since the publication of the original edition. He has woven this new wisdom seamlessly into the old, creating clear, easy to use best practices. When asked what part of the new edition is most improved, Dr. Arloski points to Chapter 8: “This chapter has been completely revised based on what we've learned training thousands and thousands of wellness coaches around the world. We are told over and over again that the Wellness Mapping 360 Methodology is what coaches find most valuable and in this new edition we've refined it much further. So many coaches just do "goal setting" with their clients. Here we show how to really co-create a fully integrated wellness plan for lasting lifestyle change.” The positive connection between the coach and the person who wants to make a change empowers the individual to recognize and draw on his or her own abilities and resources to make lasting changes for better health. Wellness Coaching For Lasting Lifestyle Change - Second Edition is the guide you need to make that connection to your clients.
