Our Strategy 2017–2021 4  By 2021, the coaching workforce will be participant focused. What this means: • We’ll provide high-quality learning solutions that support coaches to deliver great experiences for their participants. • We’ll support those who develop coaches to ensure they create positive learning experiences. Case study Behaviour change is a series of small steps that people take over time as part of a journey. Louise Bonso r The goal of that journey may be to reverse unhealthy patterns of behaviour, such as an inactive lifestyle. Behaviour change techniques have been proven to be successful in other social areas too, such as stopping smoking and losing weight by implementing a healthier diet. We created the “Behaviour Change Tactics” workshop to help those who use coaching skills provide their participants with the tools and incentive to create lasting change in their lives. Louise Bonsor is a Fit 4 Life Guru who attended a workshop: “The main thing I took away from the session was little tips on what I can do in my own personal progression as an instructor or a coach. So thinking a bit more about the nudging phases – for example, a text, phone call or use of social media to bring people back to the activity for more reasons than the activity itself so looking more at making it accessible and social for people to do.”
