COACHING SKILLS & LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT FOR SUPERVISORS & MENTORS

This workshop and experiential learning course is designed for clinical and

non-clinical leaders who supervise and mentor staff members, with a focus

on those returning to work from a career break for various reasons

(maternity/paternity, sick leave, academic projects, etc.)

The courses will help leaders and managers further develop their leadership

abilities, allowing them the opportunity to learn and apply new skills, such

as effective communication, empathic insights, team motivation, and

coaching.

Returning to work after a career break can be a daunting prospect. For many

people, it is an intimidating and isolating process with many challenges,

including having to navigate system and service changes while relearning

and refreshing clinical skills. Those factors can impact the morale and clinical

effectiveness not only of the returner, but of the entire team.

These courses will help supervisors master the necessary leadership abilities

which will ensure smoother transitions. The courses will teach skills that are

applicable in all clinical and non-clinical teams, leading to a positive impact

on their supervisees, the team culture and overall clinical care of patients.
