Coaching Benefits Medical Managers
Coaching is known to foster improved human interactions and performance, and now managers in the medical profession have found the benefits of working with a coach.
Recent work within the NHS by Dr Anthony Schwartz, an Occupational Health Psychologist, has found that helping managers to build an understanding of their personal attributes and skills, and how they interact with the environment can play a significant role in their success and the success of their team and organisation.
Dr Schwartz will be presenting his work at the third annual National Coaching Psychology Conference to be held at City University London, on Monday 17 and Tuesday 18 December 2007, organised by the British Psychological Society's Special Group in Coaching Psychology. London (PRWEB) December 18, 2007 -- Coaching is known to foster improved human interactions and performance, and now managers in the medical profession have found the benefits of working with a coach. Recent work within the NHS by Dr Anthony Schwartz, an Occupational Health Psychologist, has found that helping managers to build an understanding of their personal attributes and skills, and how they interact with the environment can play a significant role in their success and the success of their team and organisation. Dr Schwartz will be presenting his work at the third annual National Coaching Psychology Conference to be held at City University London, on Monday 17 and Tuesday 18 December 2007, organised by the British Psychological Society's Special Group in Coaching Psychology. The intervention provided medical consultants who are also managers with some of the skills and insights necessary to deal with conflict and to tackle difficult issues. "The coaching helped to increase the emotional resilience of these managers, and built their confidence to discuss stress-related issues at work", Dr Schwartz explains. "The coaching interventions used with these managers aims to increase an awareness of how to negotiate the 'human factors' i.e. how they relate better with others around them in order to improve performance." This work signals the continuing rise of coaching interventions across a range of professions and applications. Dr Schwartz says "This demonstrates how those in the medical profession can be helped to tackle some of the inevitably stressful and demanding challenges placed upon managers. The Occupational Health Psychology coaching uses principles of emotional intelligence and mindfulness training, and helps managers to learn to consciously 'step back', before reacting to things".
