In this episode we are joined by the delightful Dr Liz Donovan who has had a stellar career as a paediatric consultant and neonatologist, as well as being the Director of Medical Education at University Hospital Southampton. Liz came out of retirement to return to Southampton to work on a very special project, supporting medics through a coaching programme.   The Doctors’ Development Unit offers support to senior clinicians within the trust. A pool of consultants have been trained as coaches by us here at Your Coaching Journey and are making good use of their coaching skills in their work with their consultant colleagues.   Liz has been heading up the coaching consultant team at Southampton, and has been delighted with the results of the coaching that has been conducted there. An independent evaluation of the effectiveness of the coaching within the trust has recently been carried out. The evaluation revealed some remarkable findings in terms of the social return on the investment that has been made and the efficacy of the coaching.   Liz will be sharing some of the report’s findings with us, along with her own reflections on the art of coaching.   Resources: You can contact Liz about this research by emailing her at [email protected]   Enjoy the podcast?
