Coaching is the process of change that mobilizes strengths to realize the potential of individuals as well as organizations.
To learn more about helping people change, develop, and meet personal and professional goals, while building self-efficacy, resilience, and the capacity for further development through positive psychology and coaching, people will enjoy the 2nd Annual Coaching Conference on September 25-26, 2009 – Coaching in Medicine & Leadership.
Jointly hosted by the Harvard Medical School and McLean Hospital, the 2nd Annual Coaching Conference, is led by the new Institute of Coaching and serves physicians, health care providers, executive coaches, and coaches in health care by exploring the theory, research, and practice of coaching. The InstituteofCoaching.org website will be live September 15th. The 1st Annual Coaching Conference – “Coaching: A New Horizon—Theory, Emerging Evidence & Practice” sold out (see review of 2008 conference by Louis Alloro here). It brought together founding contributors in the field from all over the world, who introduced coaching psychology and its application in the domains of executive, life, and health/wellness coaching to nearly 500 physicians, psychologists, health professionals, and coaches. According to Philip Levendusky, a Director of Psychology from McLean, “There was an obvious void in the executive coach and healthcare communities with regards to science-based coaching and positive psychology.”
Carol Kauffman and Margaret Moore
