You’re invited! The need has never been greater for excellent listening and transformative communication. Get trained with skills for supporting your colleagues, patients, staff, mentees and others. Gain tools to help your own self-awareness toward healing and well-being in these challenging times. This on-line six-week intensive training will equip you with the foundational knowledge and skills used in coaching. It is a highly interactive course that will give you what you need to:

• Help patients achieve their health goals
• Help colleagues out of burnout
• Care for your own well-being
• Stop trying to fix others

You will discover what makes coaching so effective and how it is distinct from counseling, mentoring and discipling. You will learn to listen deeply and ask powerful questions that help people get unstuck. Using a “coach approach” will help you increase your impact as you draw out and maximize others’ ability to problem solve and achieve their goals. Course qualifies for 16 International Coach Federation credits toward coaching certification. Coaching practice and demos will happen both inside and outside of class time. Registration is open to all healthcare professionals, students, spouses, and others who work with healthcare professionals. We ask all registrants to be sure they can plan on full attendance at the entire course without distractions, barring emergencies, as each section and skill builds on the previous one.

*Discount! Once you register, you will receive an email with a $100 discount code for our followup course, 503 Coaching Change, Transition and Transformation, valid only when registering for 503 in 2025.

**In the event there are fewer than six registrants for this course, it will be rescheduled to a later date. Registration fees can be transferred or refunded.
