Coaching for Nurses: A New Vision for Communication, Relationship-Building and Self-Empowerment
Coaching is a powerful communication tool that can transform your approach to nursing and rejuvenate your career. Coaching enhances nursing practice by revolutionizing communication strategies with patients, families and colleagues. Instead of "telling", nurse-coaches ask powerful questions designed to challenge thinking, action and elicit positive behavior change. Coaching provides nurses with new skills to establish their role as effective mentors - guiding others toward rapid goal attainment, higher levels of productivity and to reach their full potential. Nurse entrepreneurs can establish successful businesses using coaching skills as they look outside the walls of institutions to pursue the role of personal coach in private practice. Coaching is a natural fit for nurses. With a healthcare background and extensive experience communicating with people, nurses are ideally suited for the role of nurse-coach, a new vision for the future of nursing.
