Conclusions
DISEASE
Enhancing awareness of personal risk and the impact of potential disease are facilitators of long‐term behavior change and should be incorporated into coaching conversations. This supports the process of “waking up” to health needs and the possibility of change, which are important precursors to long‐term change. Health coaching should be responsive to individual need, with emotional well‐being, happiness, and life satisfaction being addressed alongside physical health. The opportunity to develop skills to support decision‐making and self‐management should be included in coaching initiatives, to enhance self‐efficacy and help facilitate long‐term behavior change.
