This audiobook gave me a lot to think about. The whole “guide not guru” approach hit home for me. Motivational interviewing was new to me, but now I get why it works. I also appreciated how it tied in mental health without making it feel overwhelming. Great listen for any coach or wellness pro.

This audiobook is a must-listen for any coach looking to elevate their skills! The breakdown of motivational interviewing (MI) is clear, practical, and packed with real-world applications. I loved how it emphasizes guiding clients, not dictating to them, and the techniques on open-ended questions and affirmations have already improved my sessions.

The bonus on mental toughness for teen athletes was a fantastic addition! Whether you're in fitness, health, or mental wellness coaching, this book gives you the tools to inspire lasting change. I highly recommend it for coaches ready to transform their approach and see real results!

After years of struggling to motivate my reluctant teen athletes, this audiobook changed everything! I've been listening during my morning commute for two weeks and implementing the techniques with my high school track team. The open-ended questioning approach has resonated with even my most resistant athletes. One runner who had been consistently skipping workouts is now showing up regularly since I adjusted my coaching style. I especially appreciate the practical examples that demonstrate exactly how to phrase things in different situations. The bonus material on mental toughness for teens complements the main content perfectly. This has become my coaching playbook for creating lasting change rather than temporary motivation!

Solid resource for parents or coaches wanting to foster real change without pushing. I’ve struggled to get my teen to open up about fitness goals, but this guide gave me real tools to approach those conversations differently. The techniques focus on listening rather than lecturing, which made a noticeable difference in how my kid engages with nutrition plans. The mental toughness section isn’t preachy-it’s practical advice for building confidence through small wins. I’ve even started applying the strategies to my own health habits.

Words That Work covers a broad set of coaching tips and techniques, including insightful information on how to approach different clients collaboratively. If you're considering beginning a motivational coach to help people with nutrition, fitness, and overall health, this comprehensive resource outlines what to keep in mind, how to develop good listening techniques, and how to hone your communication skills.

Mental toughness in teen athletes
For athletes or coaches, this book can help you find a systematic approach (such as the movement-performance-skill pyramid) to preparing their mind and body for competitive sports. Great recommendations on how to recover from heartache and rejection, get away from simpler distractions (social media), and incorporate visualization or meditation exercises to improve sleep and performance. There are lots of examples of resilience - people who got through major injuries, rejection, and mental health challenges, and went on to become some of the greatest athletes of all time.

In a future version of both books, I would suggest adding chapter titles so you can find the topics you want to go back to.

This audiobook completely changed the way I approach client sessions. I used to feel stuck when clients weren’t making progress, even though I knew they wanted to change. The way it explained motivational interviewing made so much sense—and I’ve already seen results. Clients are opening up more and taking ownership of their goals. It’s like the missing piece I didn’t know I needed. If you’re a coach, this one’s a must-listen.
