One of the ways coaches can get stuck is by failing to assess what's the client's current sticking point.

Often we assume that the issue is motivation, when it may be skill or follow-through of self-efficacy. Other times we think that all the client needs to do is "put it on the calendar" when they have no idea how to do "it." Then there's the error of assuming that the client has the ability just because they know what to do (think of the difference between drivers' ed class and actually getting behind the wheel).

In today's episode, Kevin and Howard discuss their principal tool for assessing the current obstacle, the WellStart Health Attainment Model (WHAM). Also, Howard tries to sing "Gotta Have Faith" by George Michael at the end, and sadly this was not totally removed at the editing stage.
