What is Coaching?

Drs. Giana Davidson (Assistant Dean for Professional Development; Professor, Surgery) and Alex Molnar (Coach; Clinical Associate Professor, Medicine) explain how coaching is defined in our Faculty Coaching Program which focuses on mid-career faculty looking towards their next chapter. They define the roles of the coach and coachee; a coach uses active inquiry, focusing on the inherent expertise in the coachee to allow the coachee to understand and articulate their own ideas and needs. Finally, Drs. Davidson and Molnar delineate some of the specific areas where coaching can lead to success and can help any faculty member find joy and clarity in their research, education, or clinical work.Read the episode transcript here.
