KSTAR – A&M Rural & Community Health Institute – Strengths Based Appreciative Coaching

Description
In a strengths based appreciative approach we begin by identifying your vision for yourself, if you were functioning at your peak performance. Specifically, what would you like your patients and their families to say about the quality of the experience they have while in your care. What behaviors would you need to promise to do to accomplish that outcome.
We then identify any gaps between this ideal and your current performance based on the four standardized patient encounters. We discuss your top five unique strengths in order to leverage these to build your skills while helping you stay engaged and excited about the process. The research is clear, those who engage their strengths every day, have greater work satisfaction, resilience and less burnout at work. At the end of session one we will have co-created a learning agenda to help you accomplish your vision. Session 2 through 5 will be focused on closing the gap between the current state and your envisioned future state.
Because of the unique needs of our population in the KSTAR program, this agenda can be modified to your unique needs and practice situation. Our aim is to be flexible and facilitate you in achieving your vision.
