Having a Growth and Spiritual Mindset In coaching, having the right mindset is important for both the coach and the client. But what exactly is the best mindset, and how can it help in health coaching? In 1988, Carol Dweck, PhD, wrote a paper that grouped intelligence into two types: entity (fixed) and incremental (growth) intelligence [1]. She further developed these into what is now known as a "fixed" versus a "growth" mindset. Individuals with a fixed mindset believe they have an unchangeable amount of intelligence, and they allow failure and setbacks to define them. On [...]

Newly-Qualified Faith Community Nurses Faith Community Nursing (FCN) has also been called Parish Nursing. Faith community nursing involves a wholistic and caring approach that focuses on the care of individuals and groups, usually within a faith-based setting (Clarke & Hunter, 2019). Human beings have several needs that contribute to wholeness, such as physiological, psychological, emotional, and spiritual needs. According to Burkhardt and Nagai-Jacobson (2016) spirituality is a critical dimension of human beings, and just as a person’s physical needs are taken care of, the spiritual needs must also be addressed. Spirituality is a concept that conveys meaning [...]

Celebrating Nurses' Sabbath Featured Article, June 2024 For over 40 years, the beginning of May has been a time designated for acknowledging nurses. For many workplaces it’s now a week-long celebration concluding on May 12, the birthday of Florence Nightingale, who is long considered to be the founder of modern nursing. This year, the Medford Seventh-day Adventist Church in southern Oregon designated May 4th as “Nurses’ Recognition Sabbath,” an idea strongly supported by church members and leaders alike. In preparation for the special program, organizers were astonished to discover the church had 33 nurses! When including retired [...]

What is a Health Coach? Health and wellness coaching is a collaborative partnership between the coach and the client. A coach meets clients where they are in their health journey, discovers where they want to be, and facilitates forward movement toward their self-directed vision and goals. They meet regularly to discuss their progress, discover and resolve any roadblocks, co-create weekly action steps, and celebrate their accomplishments. Throughout the process, the coach encourages the client to discover the answers for themselves by asking thought-provoking questions and making reflective statements (1,2). In coaching, the client is the expert; [...]

What Motivates You? Health coaching is all about growing and discovering how to implement ways to become one's best self. One of the most important aspects of coaching is the motivation for change, but what exactly is motivation and how does it tie into our Christian walk? Motivation is "... a condition inside us that desires a change, either in the self or the environment" (1). All motivation falls into two categories: extrinsic and intrinsic. Extrinsic motivation involves doing things because they lead to an outcome, such as performing a task because a reward is attached. [...]

Member Feature: Kimberly Peters The year was 2020. I was a mental health office coordinator, but I resigned to focus on my family and my personal development. I have always loved working in healthcare. I spent over a decade in medical administration, and I left to become a stay-at-home mother. I continued working with other health-related companies, but when COVID-19 appeared, I saw a great opportunity to witness. I was not sure what I wanted to do, but I knew my heart ached to minister to my community and the world. As I started prayerfully researching, [...]
