Are you feeling at a loss when clients don't come back?

&
Elevate your Motivational Interviewing skills to achieve higher client satisfaction & retention,
while increasing your confidence and revenue!
Does any of this sound familiar?
You've read the books and taken the self-paced MI or counseling courses. You care deeply about your clients and don't know what else to do to make a bigger impact in session.
But you're still having trouble IMPLEMENTING the strategies and connecting with your clients.
You feel defeated when they aren't making progress, and you take it on yourself to work harder to motivate your clients, possibly doubling down on nutrition education to get your point across.
Yet, this hasn't been working and you know it.
You so desperately want to help that you provide your clients with all the solutions & you feel the need to show your expertise at every session.
But, you know this doesn't lead to lasting client retention.
This is exhausting & ineffective.
I'm here to tell you that none of this is your fault.
You were trained on how to provide excellent nutrition education, but counseling skills were not a big part of your training. And learning these skills require supervised practice, so a workshop or reading a book won't be enough.
The missing piece you've been searching for to create more effective sessions that lead to lasting behavior change is optimizing your nutrition counseling and coaching skills.
