Hats Off!: Making the Shift from Clinician to Coach 

Program Competency: Group Dynamics & Facilitation

Training Length: 60 minutes

A Lifestyle Coach is a group facilitator versus an expert teacher. The role of the Lifestyle Coach in the National DPP Lifestyle Change Program is to lead group sessions using a CDC-approved curriculum and support participants as they make lifestyle changes to reduce their risk for type 2 diabetes. Lifestyle Coaches who are also clinicians can struggle to set aside their expertise to facilitate learning vs. teaching. In this webinar, we will establish the benefits of a facilitated/coach approach to lifestyle change and hear from experienced lifestyle coaches tips for making the shift from clinician to coach!
