How and Why Coaching Works

As a leader in your organization’s wellness program you are looked to for coaching, guidance and motivation. Although you may not be a health coach, you often find yourself in this role with little or no training. You may even be looking to or already utilize health coaches to enhance your wellness offerings and want to know more about best practices in the industry. Our pre-conference summit, How and Why Coaching Works, featuring Margaret Moore of Wellcoaches Corporation will provide guidance and instruction in these areas. There is growing evidence of the effectiveness of health coaching in fostering lasting, positive behavior change. But many questions surround the variety of methods available and how to measure success. Margaret will discuss trends in coaching and the pros and cons of different coaching methodologies, share best practices in health coaching as part of worksite wellness, and provide an interactive coaching demo. She will also share tips from her new book, Organize Your Mind Organize Your Life, which translates the neuroscience of brain organization into self-coaching tools.

Program Objectives:

Participants in the pre-conference summit will learn:

• What effective wellness coaching is and how it works;
• The pros and cons of different coaching methodologies and how to measure outcomes;
• Strategies to successfully integrate coaching into a broader worksite wellness program;
• Tips to train your brain to ignore distractions and become more focused, creative, and productive - especially helpful for those who find that they are always helping others.

Registration opens soon and sponsorship opportunities are available! Please contact Theresa Islo, tislo@wellnesscouncilwi.org, 262.696.3657 to inquire.
