"A Coaching Culture"


You've probably heard that phrase, and that aspiration, a lot lately. ​
We've noticed through recent years that when companies foster ​coaching cultures
​they attend to three key ingredients:
​
  1. ​They use external coaches strategically,
  2. Their C-Suite leaders are enthusiastic sponsors, and
  3. They give time and resources to the education and development of internal coaching leaders.

What to expect (+ how we see leadership coaching)

​​At SeattleCoach we teach master classes    designed for    the 
​development of ​ internal  leaders like you.   Send us your info. ​​​We'll be in touch.  ​

​

​Some observations from our participants:

​
​"There is a crescendo of interest in coaching in medicine."

Thank you for providing me this opportunity to grow in a whole new direction! I will be forever grateful!

"Leaders in health care need an alternative to being directive. Our work is to develop a coaching culture. Maybe shift away from the hierarchical nature of surgical education."

"Coaching vastly increases the resources in our environment by engaging all of the stakeholders."

"With coaching we can engage the wisdom of the group--especially important with team-based care."

"There are implications for physician mental health."

"And patients love it too when we show up as a coach."

​"I’ve found that SeattleCoach has not only helped me to be a more effective and in-tune leader, ​but has also helped me bring a deeper sense of soul and purpose to my work.

​Thank you for guiding us through an incredible learning journey."

​Far more than a brief "tips, techniques, and tools" workshop, our training and development is "coaching-infused" and will change how you think about leading.   ​We'll help you to find your personal coaching style and presence.
