This module is designed to clearly define the coaching process and skills used in coaching, differentiate between coaching and various behavior change techniques, and explain how the role of the coach complements the traditional role of the RDN.
Coaches partner with clients to achieve self-directed lasting behavior change that is aligned with their individual values and use several theories and techniques to honor a belief that each client is an expert in his or her life and has the ability to make changes.
RDNs are trained to identify nutrition diagnoses and design interventions for those problems.
Since RDNs work with clients in a variety of settings, understanding how to use coaching techniques and skills in these different settings and situations is crucial to our practice.
