The Art Of Coaching & Asking The Right Questions with Jo Turner

Clinicians are often encouraged to take on a coaching,rather than fixing, role when working with patients. There’s lots of resources now available on how to do this, yet for some, this may be a new and challenging concept.

Plus, some unanswered questions still exist;

What if the patient doesn’t want to be coached?

What if I ask the wrong questions?

Am I still providing value if the patient solves their ownproblem?
