This American Pediatric Society-sponsored special ancillary interactive session is designed to promote awareness about the value of coaching as a developmental tool across the pediatric career continuum. The session will enhance participants’ understanding of the various applications of coaching as a tool to support the careers of trainees, faculty and staff in academic pediatric programs.

The session will begin with a brief didactic to ensure a shared understanding about the definition of coaching and a discussion to outline the individual and organizational benefits of coaching within academic health centers. Using brief case studies participants will examine and differentiate coaching from advising and mentoring. Through another brief didactic and a coaching demonstration, participants will experience the archetypes of a coaching conversation and assess how this approach could be applied across the career continuum.

Next, participants will learn and apply the use of inquiry-based questions, active listening and empowering language in coaching conversations. Feedback from peers and from the presenters will advance learning.

Following a break, we will share existing models of effective coaching programs in academic health centers and review core elements of successful coaching programs. Then, participants will work in small groups, based on their program needs (e.g., designing a new program, providing professional development for coaches, evaluating/using evaluation data to enhance an existing program) and, through facilitated discussion with APS faculty will create an action plan to take back to their organization.
