Coaching
is a unique and effective approach to sustainably develop health care
providers’ capacity to deliver health care services. This has been demonstrated
by the results of various training's which conduct the post training coaching
and follow ups. The post workshop coaching develops the teams’ capability and competencies allowing
participants to discover new perspectives around their actions leading to
greater performance. The coaching and follow up should be
done a few weeks after the training workshop as agreed with by the facilitator
and participants. Facilitators visit teams at their work places, providing the
participants an opportunity to deal
with challenges and issues in their own environment.
The facilitators get the chance to meet the larger teams in the facilities that
were not participating in the training and share with them practical skills on
how to overcome the challenges to achieve results.
Upon participating in coaching
sessions after the workshops, participants demonstrate noticeable improvements
in their work. Following the post workshop coaching, the
health care providers chose sustainable alternatives of achieving results. The teams discover ways of undertaking
corrective actions and exploring alternative solutions for the encountered
challenges. Coaching and follow up make a difference and enhance the team’s capability to reach their
potential as high performers through stretching themselves
and setting higher aspirations. This achievement is a motivation and
inspiration and gives participants an opportunity to put the skills learned
into practice. In this way, the trained personnel get to practice what has been
taught and demonstrate to others staffs the skill gained.
Post
workshop coaching and follow ups
foster team spirit and mutual trust that were essential in working towards
shared goals. During coaching, participants involve and invite the larger team
and colleagues at work. This strategy enables the whole team to understand
better what was expected, to discuss and brainstorm on most effective ways to
achieve the results. The larger teams support one another to realize goals.
Coaching
and follow up following the workshop helps to reinforce concepts that are learned.
Teams embrace higher values such as courage, motivation and altruism and
prioritize aspects of their work that were previously pushed aside to achieve
results.
