For centuries, members of the B’doul Bedouin tribe lived in the caves around the ancient city of Petra, Jordan. Then, in the 1980s, the government forced the tribe to move in the name of preserving the geological site for tourists. But if the residents are forced to leave, and if their heritage has been permanently changed, then what exactly is being preserved?

How Not to Get Distracted by Motivation 19:21

πριν 4 years19:21

19:21

Motivation is good, right? It's important for our clients and patients to be motivated to attain their goals, correct? Well, yes and no. Motivation is like money, or oxygen - not having enough is a big deal, but having more than you need can distract you from more meaningful pursuits. In this conversation with Glenn Livingston, PhD, of Never Binge Again, Howard explores the uses - and misuses - of motivation. And we talk about how to work with clients to increase their capacity to act while not feeling motivation. And why this is the Holy Grail of habit change.…

Christin Bummer 54:13

πριν 4 years54:13

54:13

Christin Bummer used to lavish care on dogs via her Canine Kingdom business. Now she coaches humans to give similar consideration to themselves. She went plant-based in 2011, just before Forks Over Knives was released. In fact, she turned vegan overnight, which made me wonder how she relates to clients who don't keep their promises to themselves as she has been able to. But then Christin revealed her own secret behavior during pregnancy, adding Starbucks lattes, then non-vegan scones, then Panera chocolate chip cookies, even while she was an ethical vegan activist. She snapped out of it - again, overnight - after naming it a processed food addiction (under the guidance of Chef AJ and John Pierre) and committing to abstinence of sugar, flour, and alcohol. Coach Approach As a coach, Christin's philosophy is to meet people where they are, rather than impose a model of addiction on them. She's a big fan of the power of group coaching, and values the dynamics that a community of support can bring to the individual. She credits her own self-development work for her ability to stay focused, curious, intuitive, and helpful to her clients. At the end of the day, the details of the food plan or workout plan are trivialities compared to the mindset and the deep internal dialogs that determine our actions. For example, many women in caretaker roles abandon their own needs due to a belief that "I don't matter." Eventually, as those around them demand more and more of their time and attention, they become resentful. Operating from a different belief becomes far more important than blocking off 30 minutes of yoga in their calendar. We spent some time unpacking the practice of Intuitive Coaching, which involves trusting oneself and the client, and engaging in deep, curiosity-driven listening. Coaches will find this section particularly useful. You can find Christin at TheForeverDiet.org . She's got a new book, Baby Got Back in Her Pants , which you can purchase from her website or on Amazon.…

Sometimes our clients come to us with urgent situations - often upsetting - that they want to spend the session on. It's easy to get sucked into these requests, but it's almost always a mistake. In this episode, Howard explains why urgent issues are usually a dead end, and how to counter the request in a respectful and genuinely valuable way The quote from Danny Kahneman comes from his 2011 book, Thinking, Fast and Slow : "Nothing in life is as important as you think it is when you are thinking about it."

Our clients come to us for relief from bad things: symptoms, compulsions, behaviors, sensations, emotions, and so on. One of our main jobs as coaches is to help them shift to a positive orientation - seeking some satisfaction from life, rather than fleeing or preventing negatives. In this episode, Howard talks about the difference between a relief- and a satisfaction-orientation, and how to skillfully shift our clients from relief to satisfaction while honoring their needs and perspectives.…

34. When goals stop being motivating: What then? Lynette Neal and Howard Jacobson 34:33

πριν 4 years34:33

When we set external and future goals ("lose 20 pounds in 3 months"), they can function as a GPS for our daily actions and decisions. But what happens when we either reach those goals ("I guess I'm done - let's celebrate with some junk food") or decide they aren't that motivating compared to the urge to binge in the moment? Lynette Neal is a WellStart Health participant, as well as a private coaching client of Howard's. As their work has progressed, Lynette and Howard have been exploring approaches and exercises developed by Steven C Hayes and colleagues as part of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). In this conversation, Lynette shares her journey, and how incorporating ACT has allowed her to grow and achieve in areas seemingly unrelated to nutrition, exercise, and physical health.…

33: Kate Galli on Working with People Pleasers, Doubters, and Foodies 33:01

πριν 5 years33:01

33:01

Kate Galli is a health coach and trainer in Sydney, Australia, as well as a health and animal rights activist. Howard spoke with her about the three biggest obstacles to going plant-based that she encounters in her clients, and how she deals with them. Obstacle #1: they don't want to stand out and are hesitant to inconvenience others. While ethical vegans aren't going to "slip up" - their beliefs are "locked and loaded" - those going plant-based for health reasons often see room for leeway, which can become a slippery slope. Her strategies include connecting her clients to their values and beliefs, reminding them of the opportunity to be a trailblazer and help others, and noticing how they navigate their standards and actions in domains in which they're currently successful. Obstacle #2: they're confused because of all the online propaganda from big meat and dairy Instead of arguing with cold hard facts and animal rights passion. Kate now leads with deliciousness, presenting food and recipes that bypass the rational mind completely. This is more effective than sharing documentaries or websites or books. And this relates directly to... Obstacle #3: they think that vegan food is boring and restrictive When people think about "sacrificing" what they love, it's hard to imagine they can stick with it for long. Again, Kate shares the yumminess, using recipes her mother has veganized, to demonstrate that eating plant-based is much more varied and satisfying than the standard Western diet.

In today’s episode of the Health Coaches Podcast, Howard talks with Dr Glenn Livingston of Never Binge Again. When we get our health behaviors under control, even when strong emotions tempt us to "misbehave," we have a great opportunity to face those feelings head-on.

You can use the concept of "non-negotiable" habits and standards with two different types of clients. The most powerful case is with "slippery" clients who haven't yet learned to keep their word to themselves.

28: The Role of Measurement and Proof in Coaching with Robby Barbaro 30:44:00

30:44:00

Robby Barbaro co-runs Mastering Diabetes, a group program that guides type 1 and type 2 diabetes to overhaul their diets, get fit, and either reverse or halt disease progression. We spoke about the double-edged sword of frequent measurement of blood glucose, and how coaching can benefit from the clarity and motivation that comes from seeing objective numbers change as a result of immediate actions. We talked about the secret sauce of the Mastering Diabetes coaching approach - relentless and unconditional empathy and support - and how this feature of group and 1-on-1 interactions increases the odds that clients will stay engaged when they struggle. We also discussed Robby's conviction that clients need, not just thinking partners, but leaders, and enjoy and benefit from being told what to do and how to do it - in some domains. If your coaching practice involves teaching in addition to straight-up "help the client achieve their agenda," this will be a useful and challenging episode.…

24: Empowering Clients by Challenging Their Perception of Reality with Andrew Taylor 26:23:00

πριν 5 years26:23:00

26:23:00

Andrew Taylor has a unique coaching "origin story." An obese, diabetic food addict, he decided to quit eating the way an alcoholic gives up booze and a cocaine addict abstains from blow. Since eliminating food entirely wasn't possible, he decided to consume nothing but potatoes for an entire year. His YouTube-chronicled journey of weight loss, regained health, and renewed self-esteem made him famous in a way, to the point where lots of other people wanted his guidance in changing their diets and getting healthy. As a school teacher working with at-risk youth, Andrew (increasingly known by his new nickname, "Spudfit," had a lot of experience with people with impulse control deficits and a lot of hopelessness. He applied his existing skill set to his health clients, and refined various strategies to help them "prime their minds" every morning, avoid predictable pitfalls, and treat their recovery as a science experiment. The heart of his method is a type of questioning that challenges his clients to revise their perception of reality. The space created by uncertainty about old ways of thinking allows for new actions, which further challenge the client's old assumptions. As Andrew says, everyone wants to improve. Even those who have come close to "giving up" will respond positively to positive results.

We talked about the development of health coaching over the last two decades, how coaches can help their clients creatively address their "generative moments," the role of insight in coaching (it's a double-edged sword), new directions in coaching based on innovations in psychology and brain science, and how coaching might evolve to play a role in the movement for social and racial justice. ============================================= This episode, like every HCP podcast, is sponsored by http://WellStartCoach.com.

18: How white health coaches can work effectively with clients of color with Vince Rountree 48:56:00

πριν 5 years48:56:00

48:56:00

Now that white America is waking up to the scourge of systemic racism and the injustices and injuries it causes, how can white coaches be effective in working with clients of color? I (Howard) have noticed many assumptions that I've made over the years that I now recognize as outgrowths of racist beliefs that I had never examined. And now that I'm beginning to immerse myself in the study of our racist society, I can see myself coaching my clients of color not from a place of ignorant privilege, but rather from the energy of "I'm so sorry" and "wow, your life must be hard." And neither feels genuine or helpful. So I convinced my friend and fellow health coach Vince Rountree to help me think through the issue. Vince is the founder of Chronic Wellness Coaching. He left a successful corporate career to pursue life as a health coach after turning around his own health destiny through a plant-based diet in 2011. He has earned an E-Cornell certificate in Plant Based Nutrition, as well as a health coaching certification from Emory University in Atlanta. He's a PCRM Food for Life instructor, and to round things out, also earned a Certification in Nutritional Strategy for Coronary Artery Disease from the Cleveland Clinic. As you'll see, Vince is passionate, thoughtful, fierce, and loving. I so appreciate his candor and gentleness as he guided me to deeper understandings of my own blind spots and how I can become a trustworthy ally. Vince and I explored the history and nature of racism in America, how it's eerily similar to undiagnosed hypertension, and what white coaches can do to confront and transcend this condition in the service of our clients.

17. How to Leverage the Awesome Power of Identity to Help Clients Change 32:11:00

πριν 5 years32:11:00

32:11:00

When clients are new to a set of behaviors, habits, and standards, it often feels like they're "faking it" when they start. That's OK - as long as they understand that they create their identity as a health-seeking person through those daily habits and actions. That's why Identity is at the top of our WHAM (WellStart Health Attainment Model) pyramid - it's typically the last thing to fall into place, and once it does, there's no going back. When you consistently perform certain actions because that's "who you are," temptation and fatigue and stress no longer rule the day. Identity is the front-wheel drive that makes lack of rear-wheel traction irrelevant (hell of a metaphor, if I say so myself!). But sometimes we health coaches can start by reconnecting the client to an existing identity. They may have been health-conscious and fit and athletic in their younger days. They may identify as a committed, get-it-done, no-excuses person at work or as a parent. They may look up to someone else and wish to emulate that role model's qualities in the context of their health journey. In this conversation (in which my audio frankly sucks because my mic crapped out and I didn't really believe Kevin's whining about it until I listened for myself; so much for coaches being good at taking in feedback), Kevin and I explore how to leverage the awesome power of identity to help clients change.

15. The WHAM Model: Assessing Obstacles to Action 31:17:00

πριν 5 years31:17:00

31:17:00

One of the ways coaches can get stuck is by failing to assess what's the client's current sticking point. Often we assume that the issue is motivation, when it may be skill or follow-through of self-efficacy. Other times we think that all the client needs to do is "put it on the calendar" when they have no idea how to do "it." Then there's the error of assuming that the client has the ability just because they know what to do (think of the difference between drivers' ed class and actually getting behind the wheel). In today's episode, Kevin and Howard discuss their principal tool for assessing the current obstacle, the WellStart Health Attainment Model (WHAM). Also, Howard tries to sing "Gotta Have Faith" by George Michael at the end, and sadly this was not totally removed at the editing stage.

Sid Garza-Hillman is a nutritionist, health coach, and running coach who is extremely thoughtful, entertaining, and skillful in his approach to helping clients change. In this conversation, Sid and Howard talked about how clients come in beating themselves up, and how this leads to excess pressure, unrealistic expectations, internal conflicts, and eventual exhaustion and failure. And how to help clients organically approach their ideal lives and begin to embody their ideal selves. While Sid and Howard agree on most things, we did chew around a couple areas in which our practices diverge. Specifically, Howard is more aggressive in getting clients to confront their "bad habits" - we used the example of eating 10 Snickers bars a day, and no that isn't a product placement - while Sid prefers to focus on building self-awareness and positive habits in other areas first. If you'd like to work with Sid, find him at http://SidGarzaHillman.com (he's liberated himself from all social media, which we also talked about in this conversation). ============================================= This episode, like every HCP podcast, is sponsored by http://WellStartCoach.com.

On today's podcast, Howard grills Kevin about the do's and don'ts of text-based coaching. When do you ask questions? When do you offer suggestions. How do you deal with the time delays, the lack of auditory and visual cues, and the shortened SMS format? And how can you use technology to become more efficient when writing the same things over and over again? Here are the apps Howard uses to increase efficiency: Text Expander: https://textexpander.com/ (Mac/Windows/Linux/Chrome/iOS) CopyPaste Pro: https://plumamazing.com/product/copypaste-pro-for-mac/ (Mac only) There's a Windows equivalent called Ditto https://ditto-cp.sourceforge.io/ that's open source and free, and we haven't tried it. ============================================= This episode, like every HCP podcast, is sponsored by http://WellStartCoach.com.

Group coaching can be more efficient, more lucrative, and more exciting than working with individuals one at a time. And, to my surprise, it can also provide a more effective vehicle for client transformation than the "gold standard" of private, 1-on-1 work. But coaching groups is more complicated than working with individuals, partly because there are more moving parts. In this conversation between me and business coach and teacher Susan Epstein, you'll learn a bunch of tips and techniques for running group coaching sessions, and for stringing together group meetings into ongoing programs. Find Susan at http://HighlyProfitablePractice.com and download her free guide, "Five Steps to Create and Fill Your First Mastermind in Two Weeks or Less." ============================================= This episode, like every HCP podcast, is sponsored by http://WellStartCoach.com.
