139: Intrinsic Coaching with Gail Johnston, Owner of Progress Coaching & Consulting

Published: May 1, 2019, 7:30 a.m.

Many wellness solutions are set up to answer the question “how do we get people to change their health behaviors?”. According to today’s guest, Gail Johnston, asking how we create behavior change is entirely the wrong question to ask and behavior change is the wrong place to start. 

Gail Johnston is a Certified Intrinsic Coach® (CIC®) and owner of Progress Coaching & Consulting,

An independent coaching company that provides professional coaching to the employees of school districts, businesses and government agencies. 

In this interview, Gail walks us through the principles of intrinsic coaching and differentiates it from other forms of coaching. She explains the fallacies of behavior change that we tend to rely on as wellness pros and walks us through the three domains of thinking within intrinsic coaching (I>E>S). 

Gail drops some bombs on the common way we think about behavior change that can help us widen our own thinking…if we’re open to it!
