Building a Coaching Culture

Lead the Way by focusing on faculty and staff growth, development, and overall experience, professionally and personally, to train the next generation of health care leaders. Career mobility and learning and educational opportunities are a priority.

 

What is Leadership Coaching?

Coaching at Health comes from the perspective that every faculty and staff member is a leader; that we are all leading collectively within our teams and leading ourselves. This leadership perspective aligns with our organizational value of Leading the Way.

Leadership coaching is an experiential process that involves a partnership between a coach and leader. It is a thought-provoking and creative process designed to maximize potential and address the specific goals and intended outcomes of the leader.

 

Coaching to Develop Me: Building a Coaching Culture

“Coaching to Develop Me” is a campaign to raise faculty and staff awareness and knowledge about coaching and build a coaching culture at Health.

In April 2025, Health and the coaching programs integrated to form a unified ONE Health Coaching Program. Click the buttons to learn more about how coaching fits into the Health for Me “Develop Me campaign,” as well as the mission and vision for the program.

 

The Return on Investment in Coaching

Findings from a study of the Return of Investment (ROI) of Coaching at Health were released in early 2022. These highlighted several indicators of the successful implementation of a coaching culture in the organization. The study also revealed positive and tangible outcomes experienced through coaching in areas of self-awareness, increased confidence, building team morale, enhanced engagement and resilience.

 

Leader as Coach

The Leader as Coach Program is for faculty and staff in leadership positions who are interested in learning coaching skills they can incorporate into their day-to-day work. Participants will learn skills to help them engage in transformational conversations using coaching techniques. Participants will learn how to be present, listen deeply and use reflective inquiry to dive below the surface and help leaders solve some of their current challenges.

The next Leader as Coach cohort starts in April and applications are closed.
