Building a Coaching Culture
A coaching culture is one in which an institution invests in its people so they can grow, thrive, and perform to their full potential, improving how faculty interact with each other, the institution, patients, and the community at large.
What can a coaching culture do for UT Southwestern?
Coaching facilitates growth and fulfillment in faculty’s professional and personal lives through the identification of who they want to be, the ownership of challenges, and the creation of meaningful action plans for success. A coaching culture can improve engagement, align individual purpose, mission, and talents with UT Southwestern’s missions, enhance creativity, innovation, collaboration, and retention of our faculty as they shape the future of our institution.
