O2B Healthy TeleCoaching

From office or home, telephone coaching connects you to success

Weight loss research reveals that regularly scheduled check-ins are the most effective means of achieving goal success. Accountability is the process that leads to success.

Our O2B perspective is that we all learn and grow best in relationship. Through coaching you have the type and quality of relating that enables you to talk frankly -- without judgment, about your goals, progress, and problems. As a result, we dissolve the stuck points and lead you to success. Your confidence sky-rockets!

Use the energy of a group of fellow WLS travelers working with a group leader to break through barriers and learn skills to reach personal success goals.

O2B Group TeleCoaching

Over the phone, join a group of fellow WLS patients to help keep you energized for and focused on your success!

You deserve all the support you need to achieve your goals for life-long health and weight maintenance. You will be surprised how easy motivation is when you have a plan and see your success!

O2B Group Telecoaching sessions are an exciting way to connect by phone with other WLS patients who are working as hard as you are to be successful. In a group, everyone stays focused on sharing, learning and achieving goals.

  • Define your goals.
  • Find the resources you need.
  • Take steps toward your goals.
  • Accomplish your goals
  • Reward your success.

In each 8-week session (1 hr per week), your leader focuses your group on skills for successful life-long health and weight maintenance. The whole group helps each other with the accountability needed to stay on track. Of course, encouragement, motivation and support run high because everyone wants everyone to succeed.

We talk by telephone on a bridge line that connects everyone on the same phone line. We talk once a week at a regularly scheduled time for the 8 week group. When you register, you will receive the bridge phone number for the group.

Group TeleCoaching is educational and informational in design. We will interview you on the phone prior to TeleCoaching to see if the format is suitable for your needs. We want you to get what you need, and can refer you to a face-to-face therapist if Group TeleCoaching isn't appropriate for you.


Success Tools

8-Week Group TeleCoaching

What would you try if you knew you could not fail?

Success Tools is an interactive group designed to discuss life skills for your new lifestyle. We focus on the real heart of accomplishment - setting goals and staying on track, while learning, practicing and celebrating with fellow travelers. How many times have you been given instructions on what you need to do and how many times have you commented, perhaps under your breath, "Ya, right, easier said than done!" If you, have muttered this comment, Success Tools is for you.

Together we will explore:

  • The art of setting goals and staying on track.
  • Strategies to cope with the ordinary and extraordinary stress of life.
  • The power of journaling.
  • How to talk to yourself so you'll listen.
  • Dealing with the predictable periodic plateaus of weight maintenance.
  • New self-care skills.
  • Staying energized for your most important goal - living well.

What is the Group TeleCoaching structure?

Group TeleCoaching uses one phone number for everyone in the group. This number is called the bridge phone number because it provides a bridge or link for everyone to be on the same line at the same time.

When you register for a group, you will be given the bridge phone number for that particular Group TeleCoaching. You are responsible for your long-distance phone charges. We have provided resources for low cost long distance. We do not endorse any of these services. Using these low cost long distance services, the call usually costs around $1.50 to $3.00.
