Connaughton Consulting

Why coaching?

• There is less time than ever inside healthcare organizations to mentor leaders
• There are limits to how clearly we can see ourselves and the impact of our leadership without feedback that is honest, objective and delivered in a way that facilitates change
• The pace and intensity of healthcare challenges even the most committed leaders to find time to reflect on their leadership and to identify areas in which to improve without the structured support of a coaching relationship

Who benefits from coaching?

• New leaders who are challenged to develop their leadership identity, learn to lead a team, hold others accountable and work in collaboration with others
• Experienced leaders who are facing new challenges, and/or discovering that the old ways and behaviors are no longer working and/or who are not reaching their potential
• Senior leaders who are challenged at the executive table or who wish to create their leadership legacy
• Anyone who is open, curious and aware that leadership is a journey that never ends
• Anyone undergoing a transition who is willing to assume responsibility for the changes ahead
