Healthcare professionals today face complex challenges including a pandemic, financial pressures, workforce shortages, and a lack of work-life balance. In this environment, healthcare leaders have daunting responsibilities to improve patient care, empower their teams, and foster resilience among providers.  This program is designed for busy healthcare professionals — clinician and non-clinicians alike — who are committed to creating a culture of resilience by adopting coaching mindsets and applying coach-like skills.

Now more than ever, leading in healthcare is a formidable challenge. Among the many crises facing healthcare, a lack of provider well-being is affecting patient care, recruitment, retention, and bottom-line results.

Did you know?

In the past few years, the growing prevalence of ‘burnout syndrome’ among healthcare personnel has gained attention as a potential threat to patient safety and the quality of healthcare. A Mayo Clinic Survey of physicians found that, nationally, 42% experienced symptoms of burnout in 2021.
 
The Three Cardinal Symptoms of Burnout:

#1: Exhaustion

#2: Depersonalization

#3: Lack of Efficacy

Despite being prevalent within the healthcare industry there are a lack of resources available to help people suffering with this stress. Burnout is costly for the healthcare industry.  In a paper published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine, physician burnout is costing the United States healthcare industry an estimated $4.6 billion per year. 

The healthcare industry presents challenges unique to the profession and whilst not all the stressors can be controlled, developing a culture of resilience will help workers develop skills to help confront some of the challenges and maintain overall wellbeing.
