Ask successful leaders to talk about. . .

Ask successful leaders to talk about the person who has had the most influence on their career and it will invariably be someone who has helped them to overcome problems, expand their thinking and given them the confidence or resilience to meet new challenges. They may not use the term, but what they will be defining is a coach. .

Business vs Dentistry

In the world of corporate business, a massive challenge for many entrepreneurs, executives, managers and leaders finding a coach who has the time, inclination and skill to offer quality support often comes down to luck. You get who your company provide. For you as a dentist you have the freedom to make your own choice.

In the business and corporate world most people with a salary of 40K or more, involved in middle management and above will have access to a coach. The opportunities and benefits of coaching are well recognised for commercial success, talent management and wellbeing.

Some dentists have yet to experience the opportunities and benefits of coaching and their careers are probably being stifled as a result. As soon as you start to work with an accredited coach that provides consistent and independent support you will accelerate your personal development and professional performance.

What to expect from a great coach.

A great coach places you, the coaching client, at the centre of the relationship. It is always all about you. Your coach remains slightly detached and objective, creating for you the time and space  for you to have greater awareness, interpretation the challenges you are facing and empower you to reflect, think, explore options and solutions that you had not previously considered. Your coach is a facilitator and guide, helping you to discover, make decisions and take-action. The choices and decisions will always remain with you. Your coach will hold you accountable for your decisions and commitments if that is what you want them to do.
