Feedback Course

Accelerate your clients’ learning so they progress faster and further

Do you get frustrated with your clients getting “stuck” or not progressing at the rate you’d like?  Do you feel you have to constantly re-teach some clients the same things over and over again? It can be easy to place blame on your clients, or situational challenges like virtual training. However, a primary inhibitor to your clients’ progression could be your feedback.

In this mini-course, Transformative Feedback: How to Create “Fast Learning” Clients, discover how the common “coaching” strategies often inhibit the natural learning process, which leads to short-term, less reliable changes. Then, learn an evidence-based way to teach your clients that supports their natural learning process, so they progress faster and create sustainable changes that last.

Module 1: How We (Naturally) Learn
Discover the fascinating process by which we naturally learn and how this leads to long-term mastery, adaptability, and permanent changes. Learn the key components of natural learning, and why they are especially important for the pre & postnatal population.


Module 2: How We (Typically) Coach
See how many trainers today focus on performance-style feedback, which actually inhibits the natural learning process and can therefore lead to short-term, less reliable changes.


Module 3: Transformative Feedback (Steps 1 and 2)
Learn how to provide feedback in a manner that supports your client’s natural learning process by using an evidence-based 3-step process called Error-Detection. We’ll break down steps 1 and 2 with plenty of examples and practice.


Module 4: Transformative Feedback (Step 3)
Dive into the final step of the 3-Step Error-Detection process. Learn what, when, and how to communicate feedback to your clients depending on the situation and client’s skill level with plenty of examples and practice.


Module 5: Case Studies and Practice
Now practice going through the entire 3-step process for several different client scenarios (including a pregnant client, athletic client, “desk jockey” and senior).


Module 6: Teaching Your Clients “Error-Detection”
To help your clients truly excel, you can teach them the Error-Detection process so that they become their own problem solvers, and progress even faster. Discover how this does not minimize your value to them as a coach, but instead, enhances it.

The day after I completed this course, I applied what I learned on two clients who have zero body awareness and OH MY GOD IT OPENED UP A WHOLE NEW WORLD! It was the first time I felt like they finally “got it,” and I could see the boost to their confidence as well. I am so grateful that PROnatal created this course. It is going to majorly help my virtual training!

This course was such an eye opener for me. I think we all know that people learn best when they can figure out the solutions by themselves, but knowing how to guide a client to that point is a different ballgame. This course teaches you a step-by-step process to guide clients of all levels to that point of learning. This not only helps the trainer feel more confident, but the client as well. I loved this course!

This course challenges the way you might think to communicate with your clients. It teaches you how to get out of the habit of “show, tell, do" and really help your clients learn in their best way. The case studies and videos are really helpful, and I especially liked the practice work because it got me off my computer and really drove home the message being communicated.

I literally implemented what I learned in this course the day after I completed it and I could immediately see the effects! I now feel much more confident about when, and how, to give my clients feedback. This course was meant to elevate my coaching skills, and I can already see it has!

This course really is what it says it is – transformative feedback. Working with patients every day, I had naturally developed some of these skills, but had no idea how to adapt them to fit each patient’s needs. This course gave me the tools to be less focused on the performance-based short-term results, and much more focused on the learning-based longer-term results. In the end, that’s really what ALL our clients and patients want.

Learning is such an innate part of who we are, and if we can get clients to tap into that natural process, we can progress them to their goals more efficiently. However, most trainers do not use this approach. This course gave me the tools to be the personal trainer who does not “get in the way” of progress, but instead, amplifies it. The information is scientifically supported, and the principles are accessible for personal training and group fitness.

FAQs

While the principles taught in this course are especially important for the pre & postnatal population (due to the degree and pace at which their bodies change), it is not exclusive to pre & postnatal. This is a coaching philosophy that you can (and we believe should) apply with ALL your clients. Case studies are shown for pregnant clients, athletes, seniors, and “desk jockeys.”

No. Anyone interested in this course can take it. While the course is designed for personal trainers, the principles are certainly applicable for personal training, group fitness, rehabilitation work, and even parenting!

While this course was designed for Personal Trainers, it is highly beneficial for ANYONE who works with clients — group instructors, physical therapists, doulas, etc. In fact, this methodology is particularly helpful in parenting as well!

Because the material in each course is very different, the order in which you take them does not matter. It really depends on what your goals are.

If you are interested in learning the keys to training the pre & postnatal population, then definitely take the Pre/Postnatal Performance Training Specialist Course first, as this will teach you the foundational skills necessary to coach this population.

The Transformative Feedback Course will help you become a more effective coach for ALL your clients (including pre & postnatal). So, if you are more interested in improving your coaching skills, and learning material that you can apply to all your clients, then this course is a great first choice!

At the end of the course, there is a 60-minute timed exam that you take at home on your computer or device. There are 35 multiple choice questions, and you must get an 85% (30 questions correct) to pass. You can use any notes you want, but you must complete the exam within the 60 minute time limit.

If you pass, you will be able to download your certificate as soon as you complete the course. If you do not pass, you can purchase an exam re-test for $35.

Each module also contains a self-check to gauge your comprehension. These are not graded. They are purely for your learning benefit, and they serve as great preparation for the exam.

You have lifetime access to the course, so there is no deadline to complete. That said, once you start the course, we recommend trying to work through it relatively consistently because the concepts build on one another. The course is estimated to take around 5 hours.
