Recognise readiness for change presented by Sharon Curtain, dietitian and health coach
Assessing motivation, ambivalence and capacity in practice
Yes, you’ll be familiar with these: the highly relatable patterns that show up in clinical consults, often indicating that a client is in the early stages of change. By learning to identify these patterns, we can switch into gear intentionally — showing up not just as educators, but as skilled supporters who can evoke both importance and confidence for change.
Clear, practical, and immediately applicable, Sharon’s message is affirming and energising. By strengthening our ability to meet clients where they are - tailoring our approach to their stage of change, we reduce frustration and provide more meaningful support.
Learn about:
- Exploring the WHY and HOW of change
- Key signs that your client is in an early stage of change
- Specific consult strategies to match your approach to the client’s stage of change
