To be coached is to grow into new possibilities in a safe space with the support of a trusted partner. To be that partner — to be the coach — is to exercise knowledge and skills that evoke new awareness in the coachee, leading to a commitment to action.
In healthcare, where relationality is key, coaching essentials are just that: essential!
