Do you sometimes find workplace conversations more challenging than the clinical work itself? Why do some conversations lead to action while others seem to go around in circles? Is managing people the most time consuming/draining part of your working day?  Is it possible to develop your team whilst also developing yourself?

This course introduces the theory and practice of coaching as a valuable approach to developing yourself and supporting others in the veterinary workplace. It provides space to explore some of the more complex and challenging aspects of professional relationships, communication and collaboration at work.

Through a combination of theory, discussion, practical application and live coaching sessions, delegates will develop their understanding of the coaching process and learn how coaching skills can be used to support learning, problem-solving and constructive conversations. Participants will be encouraged to apply these approaches within their own workplace settings, helping them build confidence in adapting their communication style to different situations and individuals.

By developing greater self-awareness and a deeper understanding of how people think, learn and behave, delegates will be better equipped to navigate the challenges of the modern veterinary workplace and contribute positively to a supportive and effective working environment.

There will be a follow up 2-hour session for consolidation and celebration of learning on Friday 18^th June at 1pm.
