Coaching from The Strategy Unit – Supporting system leaders to develop and navigate uncertainty

It’s harder than ever to be a leader in health and care, moving through a rising storm of changes.

Coaching is well-placed to deal with the ambiguities of the health and care system today. Coaching allows individuals to step out of the storm into a ‘safe space’, one which isn’t subject to the usual constraints of the day job. We have developed our coaching offer to set out the support we can provide at a high level. It also describes the ways in which we can apply a ‘coaching approach’ to increase the effectiveness of team development, training and programme workshops.
