189: The Coach Approach for Dietitians - Follow-Up Q&A

In this episode of The Dietitian Success Podcast, we cover the following questions about coaching and dietetic practice: 

1. Phrasing open-ended coaching questions 
2. How to combine the coach approach with motivational interviewing and what the overlap is
3. How do you set the stage for a coaching relationship? 
4. Is every client or patient is appropriate for this coaching?
5. Asking follow-up questions after someone gives a response to a more self-reflective question 
6. Scope of practice for coaching vs. therapy 
7. How do you respond to a patient that starts off an appointment with, "I just want to know the do's and don'ts, what to eat and what not to eat"? 
8. How do you approach this method when clients are quiet or they say, "I don't know", or they give really limited responses
