Stop scratching the surface, and start changing lives. 

Weeks 0–4

• Identify the three components of effective coach development, assess your current skillset, and create a plan for growth.
• Explain where your scope as a coach starts and stops, and how to approach referral if needed.
• Map your own emotion systems, so you can become less reactive and more intentional in client sessions.
• Screen for body image and disordered eating at onboarding, and raise it with a client without losing them.

Weeks 5–7

Creating the conditions for clients to become receptive to the deeper body image work, without invalidating their fat loss desires.

• Build a coaching relationship that helps a client grow - instead of "being encouraging and saying the right things" that sound good in the moment but don't shift their mindset or behaviour.
• Recognise when "I've been there too" has tipped into over-identifying with a client, and learn how to empathise with them instead.
• Create social safeness through your own tone, pacing, and presence, even in the session you're dreading.
• Introduce the deeper body image work when a client insists "they don't really want to work on that and just want fat loss" - with the language and confidence to do it without losing them.

Weeks 8–10

Building foundational mindfulness & compassion skills so you and your clients have the capacity and motivation to approach challenges, instead of avoiding or resorting to food and body control.

• Build your own mindfulness and compassionate motivation, so you have the capacity to bring it into a session, not just textbook knowledge of what's helpful.
• Help a client understand how body scrutiny undermines confidence and adaptive eating, and introduce mindfulness practice to interrupt it.
• Guide a client through mapping their own body image loop (envy at a friend's weight loss, distress at a scale fluctuation, discomfort after overeating) so they can approach it with awareness instead of self-sabotage.
• Help a client develop compassionate motivation to treat themselves with self-respect, not self-rejection, and stay committed even when progress is slow.
• Help a client envision and access their Confident Self, who is secure in themselves regardless of how they look, using acting techniques instead of waiting for a feeling that may never come.

Weeks 11–14

Learn how to help clients shift food and body patterns with compassion, and deepen your own practice so a fear of making it worse no longer holds you back from helping.

• The four emotional blocks to monitoring, and how to spot which one is stopping a client from self-reflection.
• Map your own self-critical patterns that undermine your confidence as a coach, and learn how to work with them instead of selling yourself short.
• Help a client move towards body-led eating, even when they're afraid to let go of macros, and teach them how to create structure without reinforcing restriction.
• Help a client respond to setbacks with compassion instead of judgment, so "I ate X" doesn't spiral into "I ruined the day."
• Be present with a client who's distressed by scale fluctuations by tolerating your emotions, instead of reassuring with non-scale victories that don't resonate.

Weeks 15–16

Become a confident coach and business owner who is proud to share about their work, and build resilience for the ongoing challenges of growth - for you and your clients.

• Ethically market your services without promising results you can't deliver, and still attract the clients you want to work with.
• Work through your fear of visibility and getting called out, so you can show up for your business without overthinking every post, and help more people find your work.
• End client relationships effectively and build a self-management plan, so they can maintain their results long after your work together.
• Build your own internal compassionate resource to help you build resilience to the ups and downs in business (client cancellations, income dips, comparison spirals) so you're prepared to handle the challenge.
