In this episode of CCIM, host Dr Elise Putt sits down with Dr Sarah Dalton, a clinician and a respected figure in the quality and safety space. Sarah shares her unique mix of skills and experiences, from her early involvement in clinical leadership to her interest in digital health and coaching.   Sarah's journey in healthcare began with a passion for working with children, which ultimately led her to pursue a career in paediatrics. Along the way, she discovered a love for theatre sports and developed a broad range of interests in medical school. Driven by a desire to make a greater impact, Sarah embarked on a Fulbright scholarship, focusing on clinical leadership. Mentors and hands-on experience helped her develop a strong set of leadership skills that would shape her future. A pivotal moment in her career came when she discovered coaching as a means of supporting clinicians. Realising the importance of coaching skills in effective leadership, she pursued a coaching certificate program and established Capstone Partners, a successful coaching business serving the healthcare sector. Sarah shares the results of a coaching study conducted in the medical field, which showed significant improvements in well-being and solution-focused thinking for doctors. Capstone Partners now focuses on leadership development, performance coaching, and career decision-making. Sarah reflects on her future plans, expressing a desire for a retirement project that involves creativity, storytelling, music, or art. She emphasises the importance of finding a balance between work and personal interests and shares her aspirations for a fulfilling retirement.
