The workshop is divided into five sessions:

Session 2: The Gift of Perspective – introduces the mindset that a health promoter brings to coaching conversation and a fundamental understanding of the process of lifestyle change.

Session 3: The Gift of Presence – presents key listening skills and the concept of identifying direction and motivation as a first step when considering a lifestyle change.

Session 4: The Gift of Clarity – offers techniques for asking questions to take a conversation a little deeper and help someone set SMART change goals, weekly action steps and strategies for meeting obstacles.

Session 5: The Git of Support – addresses approaches for providing support or change and integrating faith with lifestyle change. The workshop concludes in this session as participants consider how a coaching approach can be incorporated into existing health ministry activities.
