Vera Fitness Wellness Coach Certification:
Become an Agent of Change
The Vera Fitness Wellness Coach Certification equips students with evidence based theories and skills that help their clients achieve lasting behavior change.
Wellness coaching is a rapidly growing segment in the wellness industry. People are not unhealthy or falling short of their wellness goals for lack of information. People lack the ability and proper understanding of motivation to change behaviors. Wellness Coaching draws out of individuals the motivation that is already in them and results in lasting lifestyle changes that in many instances give people back their lives. What a wonderful gift to give.
Students will graduate from the Vera Fitness Wellness Coaching Certification with a clear understanding of:
- Their individual personality and what makes them a great coach
- Multiple behavior change models
- Listening & problem solving systems
- Vision & goal setting
- Integrity selling
What’s unique about the Vera Fitness Wellness Coaching Certification?
- Self-awareness. We’re not much use to others unless we first critically examine ourselves and how we affect others. We teach you how to understand your unique personality, how you respond to conflict, how you influence others at a subconscious level and vice versa, and how to operate outside of your personality bringing clarity to your coaching relationships.
- Evidence based theories. You will learn a wide variety of theories and skills to avoid “getting stuck.” You will learn multiple theories of behavior change, vision and goal setting, listening styles and systems, problem solving, and steering resistance.
- Coaching not advising. We teach you how to draw out of your client what they already know, believe, and desire. Motivation is intrinsic; it cannot be prescribed.
- Practical application. You will be required to work with three trial clients during your certification. You will be informed by the wisdom of all your instructors and classmates as we discuss each client and your coaching. Further, we will give you a framework for your coaching sessions that is flexible and effective.
- Integrity selling. Integrity selling is aligning what we offer to a client’s needs without forcing the issue. Sales are at the center of the wellness industry but it is rarely taught (you can’t help someone until they sign-up!) We’ll show you that many of the skills needed to be a successful coach apply to successfully selling. We will also teach you a process to use when selling along with closing techniques.
