What Motivates Your Skin Care Practices? By Deborah Tosline

Miller and Stephen Rollnick suggests a step-by-step process that includes engaging, focusing, evoking, and planning to promote self-efficacy during coaching.

Later, I found Deb Crowley and the FlexEffect (FE) Facial Resistance Training program on the Internet and knew that I had found what I was looking for.
