Manasquan, NJ (PRWEB) June 26, 2007

Health coaches are usually the ones dispensing advice, but during a July 18, 2007 audio conference, "Teaching Health Coaches to Integrate Positive Psychology with Physical Health to Improve Disease Management Outcomes," one volunteer coach will become the "coachee." During the 90-minute audio conference sponsored by the Healthcare Intelligence Network (HIN), Wellcoaches Corporation CEO Margaret Moore will describe coaching theories and strategies, then showcase these strategies by conducting a live coaching demonstration with a volunteer "client."

The July 18, 2007 live audio conference, scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Eastern, will serve as a training session for health coaches on theories and strategies to improve coaching outcomes through the integration of mental and physical health.

QUOTES ATTRIBUTABLE TO MARGARET MOORE, CEO OF WELLCOACHES:
"What happens in the [live] coaching session so often is that you hear a breakthrough in insight and a shift in the client's energy and sense of what they can do. When you observe that mini-transformation over 15 minutes, you realize that this is a different relational interaction than you are accustomed to listening to."

QUOTES ATTRIBUTABLE TO MELANIE MATTHEWS, HIN EXECUTIVE VP AND COO:

"Through their telephonic, Web-based and personal encounters with patients, health coaches already score big gains for health plans and providers in clinical outcomes and healthcare cost reduction. However, it's important to emphasize the mind-body connection during these encounters. This audio conference will give coaches a chance to learn from one another."
