It matters to the person using the coaching strategies, because they can feel effective, and it matters to the person they're coaching because instead of being told what to do, they can recognize they have strengths, and that they can change behavior.Health Coaching can happen in healthcare practitioner visits, and it doesn’t take long to do!Coaching can happen in 5-minute sessions, or an hour session, or anywhere in between. It can happen in a hallway discussion, or an actual scheduled coaching session.  It can happen 1:1, or in groups.People need connection, and to know they have the ability within themselves to make a change that they want to make, or to be well in an area where they want to be well.Self-care does not need to be complicated.
