What can I expect?
Day 1 will cover Non Diet Approach from principles to practice, clarifying how different models fit neatly together with this model of client-centered care. We will explore the history of these approaches, then dive into each component in turn then pull it all together in a clear, cohesive, practical way. Importantly, we will also be looking at who we are missing in these approaches & how we can promote equitable care for all people.
We will be presenting in a variety of learning styles - didactic, insight-oriented & discussions.
Day 2 will start with learning how to use consistent language throughout your brand and social media to connect with your audience and build their trust. We will then practice communicating the non-diet approach to other professionals, so that you can effectively share the work you do and advocate on behalf of your clients. We will identify and unpack common clinician blocks and stuck points, and learn how to clearly respond to interview style questions and in media opportunities. Together we will apply these skills in thoughtfully responding to clients and weight-centric referring providers to promote collaborative care.
