Professional coaching for doctors
Our professional coaching programs are designed to support doctors to actively work on and take up their professional roles, whether it is a new appointment, or an existing role(s) that presents specific challenges or opportunities in the period ahead.
Professional coaching supports doctors to:
- Clarify the issues and opportunities at play
- Better understand the organisational system their role operates in and the organisational and team dynamics at work
- Identify their professional goals and the actions they need to take to achieve them
- Reflect and gain personal insights that inform their thinking and decision making
- Build high performance teams, departments, practices, and organisations
- Be a better leader, manager, and colleague
- Enhance their reputation and professional brand by developing their professional skills
- Advance their career by supporting them to be the best possible version of their professional self
What is coaching?
Coaching is a way of developing your skills and abilities while simultaneously boosting your performance and self-confidence in role(s). It can assist you to:
- Identify strategies to address challenges
- Better navigate organisational systems
- Actively manage and plan your career
- Assess options and make career decisions
A central feature of coaching is that the individual is in charge of their own decisions and development to realise their full potential. The coach is there to facilitate this process through structured questioning, reflection, and observation - often challenging the status quo, helping the coachee to find their own solution. Coaching is NOT mentoring, teaching, supervision or counselling.
