In small breakout groups, participants will step into a coaching simulation, practicing a
coaching mindset with a relatable work concern (e.g. performance reviews, negotiation,
challenging patient encounters). Each participant will rotate through roles as a coach,
coachee, and observer, providing and receiving targeted feedback at each step.
Facilitators will circulate, offering real-time insights into powerful questioning techniques
and emphasizing “aha” moments to deepen understanding.

Learning Objectives:

-Build Self-Coaching Competence by Asking Powerful Questions
-Enhance Active Listening for Understanding
-Apply Coaching Principles Through Simulation
