Coaching: Why it's Important to Your Veterinary Practice
VHMA Member Price: $69; Nonmember Price: $99
This session will explore the shift of the manager becoming a coach and how coaching becomes integral to the development of a learning culture. Coaching for development is a relational process performed by those inside the organization. Participants will complete a personal assessment tool prior to the workshop. The tool will be used in small groups to demonstrate how personalities and communication styles may influence and guide the coaching relationship. The exercise is for self-awareness and development to include an emphasis on developing both the target audience (future and emerging leaders in the practice) and also on key influencers (workshop participants) that will have an impact on the target audience. Benefits of coaching include improved communication and interpersonal skills, conflict resolution, attitudes and motivation, and management performance. Embracing a coaching culture is a commitment to growing your practice through empowering your people.
