[CPD Webinar] What’s the right (and wrong) way to give nutritional advice?

You’ve got the best piece of nutritional advice you could ever give to your client: it’s evidence-based, it’s personalised, it’s safe, it’s a must-do for them to get closer to their desired health outcome. You can’t wait to meet your client and share this in your next session…

But what if your client rejects your advice, gets defensive, or silently quits?

“I’ve already tried that”

“That won’t work for me”

“Sure, I could try that” (but later inaction)

Is there a way to avoid any of this? All you want is to help this client and inspire dietary change...

So how should you communicate your nutritional advice so that it’s not refuted – but rather well received? What is the best process for putting forward personalised recommendations in a client session?

In this CPD webinar, we'll navigate the best practices (and common traps) of communicating your nutritional advice to a client – all whilst ensuring your recommendations are appropriately delivered to reduce client defensiveness and enhance motivation.

Here’s an overview of what we’ll untap in this special CPD webinar:

• Effective client communication: What is the right process for putting forward personalised recommendations?
• Common traps when giving nutritional advice: What instigates pushback from clients, a loss of trust, or silent rejection
• Defusing client defensiveness: How to convey your suggestions so that they’re not unwanted or rejected
• Forced talk or change talk? Tensions between telling a nutrition client what to do VS helping them do it
• Precluding client hesitancy to take your advice on board: Successfully applying the E.P.E. technique
• Giving advice that motivates (and not demoralises): What can make your delivery more impactful (examples)
