Performance Coaching is the name of an area whose guiding principle has been described as “self-directed learning’. Coaches who utilize this methodology believe that people already have the answers they need, but these answers may be hidden. The coach’s responsibility is to work to find common ground where people can look at situations more clearly, view problems from new perspectives, and create different solutions to the problems they may be facing.
Because different people have different problems at different points of their lives we don’t use a standard, “one size fits all” approach. We believe that just as each dental patient’s needs are unique, so are yours. In our coaching, we will help you remove barriers to reaching your potential, become a more effective leader of both your team and patients, and shape your future consistent with your best hopes and dreams.
For those leaders willing to make an earnest commitment to growth, Performance Coaching can be a solution. Performance Coaching consists of a Pre-Assessment series of regularly scheduled phone consultations with your Performance Coach, attendance at interactive learning workshops, and and in-office visits.
What is involved?
Question
Step 1: This step consists of two complimentary One-on-One phone discussion exploring the appropriateness and fit of a coaching relationship. Problems, challenges and opportunities, as well as your expectations and desired outcomes from coaching will be discussed.
Step 2: Pre-Coaching Assessment Phase: If it looks like a good fit, we invite you to meet face-to-face for a day and a half in-depth discussion called the Pre-Coaching Assessment. Through this process we can come to fully understand your history and determine the critical success factors most important to you and your team’s future success.
