@Angus Bradley thanks! Protein and steps do look like good starting points. I know what the guidelines are, I'm looking for behaviour change resources.
trainers — assessments?
this one’s for all the other PT’s out there. while I agree with Angus that we are not obligated to formally assess clients, many of the clients in my context come to me expecting some sort of assessment, so I’ve built it into my first session with them. my “assessment” movements look like this — rotational MB throw skipping crawling (usually bear crawl) goblet squat max output assault bike generally throw some pogos at them in that first session as well, or some type of two legged jumping. what I like about each of these is that none are high skill, so they allow for me to see how the client self-organizes their technique, and all can be taken to a pretty high level of output in a safe manner. these movement can also be used to reevaluate progress fairly easily, so make for good benchmark movements to include in your programming. also is a great tool for prospecting on the gym floor as you can walk someone through a 15 min “workout” that includes all of these, give them a good workout, and be able to tell them a lot about how they move (makes ya seem like a wizard).

@Ethan Osborn One thing that helps me a lot to help people understand how to hinge is to make it so that their calves (but not their hamstrings) are in touch with something immediately behind them (can be a little box, or a chair). Then you tell them to pick a kettlebell (grip is a bit higher than a barbell so it's easier) without loosing contact with the box/chair. Normally this solves the issue of them going all-squaty when picking things up and instead forces them to do the hinge.

Programming metcon classes
I’ve recently started doing more metcon classes with gen pop clients - has anyone got any resource recommendations to learn more about programming these sort of sessions?

There are some databases online with lots of WODs (stands for Workout Of the Day but just think of them as metcons). Reading them through can give you some ideas. Also, get used to terms like AMRAP, EMOM, etc. as they are really useful for understanding/creating metcons.
Anybody have any good book recommendations?
Could be anything GPP or not
