This week is a break from my normal episode format. I recently had the opportunity to present as a health coach at a corporate wellbeing day event. I'd thought this might be interesting for you to hear as an example of how to talk about health coaching. The event format had 5 different topics in which therapists and other health care professionals were to present how they could support that topic. The topic I presented was Regaining Control of Life, and therefore my presentation is just a taster of how as a health coach I can support someone in regaining control of life.
