wellness-coaching-lifestyle-changeBenefits of Wellness Coach & Lifestyle Change Training?

  • Wellness Professionals find measurable lifestyle improvements in their clients.
  • Managers see a reduction in absenteeism and an increase in productivity.
  • Individuals who participate are happier, healthier and more productive in their lives.
  • Health care providers & disease management companies find medical compliance for lifestyle issues.
  • Administrators and CEO's find a reduction in the cost of health care.

ROI of WellnessLike most healthmanagement initiatives, health & wellness coaching programs are facing increased bottom line scrutiny. Coaching programs need to demonstrate on a variety of levels the positive impact and return on investment their programs will have from a financial and clinical perspective. Structuring an effective ROI calculation is a key to the ongoing success of health coaching initiatives. One of the considerations when looking at impact on reduction in healthcare costs or an increase in employee productivity is what to measure.

 

A few areas that come to mind are:

  • Absenteeism
  • Presenteeism
  • Reduction in Health Risks
  • An increase use of existing wellness programming
  • A decrease in Doctors visits
  • A decrease in accidents
  • Actual change in harmful behaviors
  • An increase in resiliency behaviors

Speaking & Mentor Coaching

Dr. Michael W. Arloski Ph.D., PCC, NBC-HWC

"Dr. Michael Arloski's keynote at the National Wellness Institute offered a richness, depth, and that extra measure of experience that can only come from the world's longest standing wellness coach. As a psychologist, he knows how to deliver the fascinating stories of why it makes good sense to use the coach approach in order to help people change, and he backs it with solid evidence that is compelling as well as entertaining." Meg Jordan, PhD, RN, CWP, Co-President National Wellness Institute, Chair, Professor, Integrative Health, California Institute of Integral Studies.

 

A Worldwide Speaker

DR. Arloski China Keynote

A psychologist and coach with over twenty-five years of clinical work, and professional contribution to the field of wellness and health promotion for decades, Michael is a primary architect of the field of health & wellness coaching. Drawing upon his extensive career as a psychologist, pioneering health coach and educator who has trained thousands of coaches, Dr. Arloski synthesizes for his audience empowerment strategies and health & wellbeing approaches that help people succeed at lifestyle improvement and make it last.

 

 Dr. Arloski’s mission is Creating Allies for A Healthy World.  Doing so he has keynoted and presented at conferences and events in Beijing, Sao Paulo, Dublin, London, The Azores, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Manilla, Slovenia, and more.

Succeeding at lifestyle improvement takes more than education and persuasion, it takes motivation and a solid methodology for change to take place.  Delivering cutting edge, researched information presented in a way that excites and moves your participants, Michael’s passion for helping people live their healthiest and best possible lives comes through in his insightful and inspiring keynotes.  Adding value to his presence at a conference or event, his workshops and breakout sessions are highly experiential, interactive, and fun!

 

Masterful Health Coach Mentoringimages

Michael outside

For me, mentor coaching is about co-creating a trusting alliance that facilitates and supports your growth as a coach and as a person. My approach is very Mentee-Centered helping you discover your strengths, build your confidence and expand your awareness of both How To Be in coaching as well as What To Do.  I draw upon my experience reviewing hundreds of coaching recordings and training thousands of people to be the best coaches they can be.
