Women: Learn to Take Your Essential Steps

I developed the EssentialSteps philosophy and approach to help women who are ready to create and SUSTAIN a joyful mind and happy body. Each EssentialSteps program takes only four hours to complete. To learn more about the programs I offer click here: Coaching for Women

Organizations: Do You Want to Engage Women?

**NEW: I am seeking the right organization to leverage the power of the EssentialSteps programs and philosophy through wide scale dissemination. The organization I chose will create brand loyalty (and improved behavioral outcomes) through offering your customers a novel and empowering philosophy, programming that will lead them to finally be successful sustaining physically active lives, and a platform to create a meaningful and authentic social network. Because my method is completely systematic it can be automated to deliver tailored programming over the Internet and/or developed to be a train-the-trainer program. In addition, the model underlying EssentialSteps can be used to develop an unlimited number of other programs that facilitate 1) individuals developing intrinsic motivation, 2) desire for the behavior, and teach the 3) self-regulation skills and 4) mindset necessary for sustaining it long-term. Please fill out the contact form below if you would like to learn more about this one time opportunity.**

I offer behavior change consulting and trainings like you’ve never experienced before. I am a nationally recognized authority in the areas of producing sustainable motivation and health behavioral changes IN WOMEN. I consult with health care organizations and train their clinicians and staff. Because I am a motivation and behavior psychology researcher and also have a graduate degree related to program development and evaluation, I am uniquely qualified to translate complex research theory and findings into easy-to-understand, concrete recommendations that clinicians can use to improve their communication about, and prescription of, lifestyle changes to their female patients.

The most important thing I have learned is that it is ESSENTIAL to re-brand exercise and other health behaviors in order to produce motivation and behavior that individuals can sustain across their lifespan. Let me help you achieve this.

I can assist you in developing and evaluating the most effective messaging, communication, and programming to create sustainable behavioral changes among female consumers patients and/or employees. This will enable you to achieve optimal behavioral responses, a superior ROI on your investment in prevention and improved health care savings.

I am also the perfect ambassador to inform, entertain, and motivate your female employees, customers, patients and community because my keynotes and workshops generate new insights and motivate realistic action that can be sustained. Targeting women for lifestyle changes is smart and strategic. Why? See inside Corporate services

Dr. Michelle Segar

“Now 8 months after working with you, I am still regularly exercising; doing a variety of activities that I enjoy and that fit into my life. As you suggested, I waited to work on my weight until I felt that I had internalized the foundational behaviors. I am now doing Weight Watchers for the weight loss phase of your program, and am excited to tell you that I was given a blue ribbon for being halfway to my “ideal weight”. I owe enormous amounts to you and your program, Michelle.”

“I signed up for EssentialSteps when I was 38, nine years ago, because it sounded like something I could use. Working with Michelle gave me a foundational understanding about fitness and creating realistic goals. I used the program concepts 4 years later to help me recover from a hip replacement.”
