Behaviour change is typically a product of
motivation not education.
Coach the person and not the problem.
In coaching, there are certain techniques that coaches use:
- Motivational Interviewing
- Self-determination theory
- Transtheoretical theory of behaviour change
Motivational interviewing (MI) is a counseling approach developed in part by clinical psychologists William R. Miller and Stephen Rollnick. It is a directive, client-centered counseling style for eliciting behavior change by helping clients to explore and resolve ambivalence.
Self-determination theory (SDT) is a macro theory of human motivation and personality that concerns people's inherent growth tendencies and innate psychological needs. It is concerned with the motivation behind choices people make without external influence and interference.
The TTM is not a theory but a model; different behavioral theories and constructs can be applied to various stages of the model where they may be most effective. The TTM posits that individuals move through six stages of change: precontemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, maintenance, and termination.

People don’t know how much you care until they know how much you care.
John Hanley
Doing motivational interviewing is like entering their home. One should enter with interest, respect, kindness and affirm what is good and refrain from providing any unsolicited advice about how to arrange the furniture.
