As personal trainers, we all know that helping our clients achieve their fitness goals requires more than just prescribing the right exercises and diets. If we want to help facilitate sustainable change, we need to understand how to keep our clients engaged and motivated, we need to be able to help them overcome any limiting beliefs or mental barriers and we need to know when to be direct and when to take a step back and allow them to arrive at their own conclusions.

Effective coaching communication is the key to achieving all of these things and more. In this presentation, we will examine the benefits of coaching communication, explore some common communication traps for personal trainers, and offer some practical tips and tools that you can use to enhance your communication skills and take your training to the next level.
