Whole Health Coaching WELCOME TO DAY 3

Review: Stage II What was the experience like? Higher # What does [that area] mean to you? What does your # mean for you? Connect to Strengths/Values/Vision Lower # How did you rate yourself? Where would you like to be? Choosing a Focus Importance Overview of Stage II which we’ll discuss in more detail… The first step is for you to reflect on your experience filling out the PHI. What stood out for you? Then based on that conversation, you’re going to define a single focus. Then assess readiness to make a change. How important is it for you to make this change? And how confident are you that you have the resources and skills to do it?
