Behavior Change Models: Making Sense of the Toolkit

January 8 @ 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm PST

$35 | Live on Zoom

Understand the models without memorizing them.

This focused session is designed to help you make sense of the behavior change theories that show up on the NBHWC exam without turning them into isolated checklists or rigid formulas.

Instead of studying each model in a silo, we’ll zoom out and look at how these frameworks inform coaching conversations, overlap with one another, and subtly guide the “best answer” choices on exam day. You’ll gain conceptual clarity so the theories feel organized, connected, and usable — not overwhelming.

What we’ll cover

  • What behavior change models are meant to do in coaching (and on the exam)
  • Transtheoretical Model (Stages of Change)
  • Appreciative Inquiry and strengths-based, future-focused framing
  • Decisional Balance and understanding ambivalence without pushing change
  • Growth Mindset and reframing setbacks, effort, and learning
  • Neuroplasticity and how change is supported over time
  • How exam questions often blend multiple models without naming them

Who this session is for

  • Students who feel overwhelmed by the number of behavior change theories
  • NBHWC exam candidates who want clarity without overstudying
  • Coaches who “know the models” but struggle to see how they fit together
  • Anyone who wants the theories to finally click in exam-style scenarios

What you’ll walk away with

  • A clear mental map of core behavior change models
  • Confidence recognizing model influence without needing to label it
  • Reduced confusion when reading complex scenario questions
  • A stronger conceptual foundation for later strategy and practice sessions
  • Less memorization, more understanding
