The Impact of Coaching on Those Who Coach in Academic Medicine
Coaching positively impacts coaches themselves, adding evidence for its use in AHCs. Many coaches find their work deeply fulfilling as it aligns with their values, enhances self-awareness, and improves their wellbeing by fostering mindfulness and personal growth. Additionally, coaching strengthens their communication and leadership skills leading to better interactions with patients and trainees, professional development, and more effective leadership.
