As part of my coaching practice I use several tools to effectively elicit transformation with my clients but my favorite is EFT, also known as Meridian Tapping. For the past 6 years I've incorporated this tool into my personal training sessions, group training sessions, life coaching sessions and my work with endurance and multi-sport athletes. I've also had the opportunity to present this tool to other coaches and trainers around the nation for USA Triathlon as well as for Western Athletic Clubs here in the SF Bay area where I live.
Here's more info:
From the emerging field Energy Psychology, EFT is a simple and effective tool you can use with rapid results.
I use tapping to provide my clients relief from chronic pain, emotional problems, disorders, addictions, phobias, post traumatic stress disorder, and physical diseases.
While tapping is newly set to revolutionize the field of health and wellness, the healing concepts that it's based upon have been in practice in Eastern medicine for over 5,000 years. Like acupuncture and acupressure, tapping is a set of techniques which utilize the body's energy meridian points. Clients can stimulate these meridian points through tapping on them with their fingertips – literally tapping into their body's own energy and healing power. Our body is filled with life, energy, and a compelling ability for self-healing. With tapping, you can help your clients to take control of that power.

I think of the 'Transtheoretical Stages of Change' model not so much as one strategy among others but as a general explanation of the processes that people go through when they are changing behaviors. So I do not believe that I have another strategy to offer but rather a way of nudging people along the path from one stage to the other.
I often find myself involved as a mentor in the process, and I let people know that I am there to help. Once I have been asked, I usually use my knowledge of the person to make some constructive suggestions. For example, some people love rigid, structured apporaches while others rebel against it immediately. In one case I may suggest a daily list to check off against, for the other person I may suggest a journal.
I usually ask people about the role that they want me to play in this process. At times, we even draft a formal 'contract' where my responsibility is defined, and I am given licence to do all the nagging and cajoling. But it is all under the direction of the client.
I also find it extremely important to put all responsibility, but also all success onto the client. I see my role as a catalyst. My presence may be needed for a process to succeed but I am not directly involved.
When people have begun to own their problem, they also should have full ownership of their successes. There is a famous syaing that success has many fathers and that failure is an orphan. No matter what my role has been in the change of somebody's behavior, I make it a point to step into the background.

Mindful of the change process, I use a three month goal setting plan. Where the goals are S.M.A.R.T., specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time bound.

I have my clients verbally state their goals outloud to me or while looking at themselves in a mirror
I have them repeat negative statements with positives:"I can't stop eating" with " I will stop eating"
I ask them what they plan on eating for the next 3 days and what their workouts will be for the next 3 days.
I ask for a fitness journal for a week.
I will surprise them and bring my scale and tape measure
