Faculty Factory

Coaching is different than seeking the help of a consultant, mentor, or therapist. While there are similarities and overlap between these disciplines and coaching, they are uniquely different. Coaching can broadly be defined as helping a person, or team, accomplish their goal(s). Almost all professionals can benefit from the tutelage of an unbiased coach in their life. This is especially true for faculty. Today’s episode of the Faculty Factory is a “Best of” show that includes highlights from conversations about the benefits of coaching with the following guests: Rachel J. Bishop, MD, MPH Elaine Schulte, MD, MPH Please remember that we will be launching a new season of the Faculty Factory in January 2022, so please stay tuned as Season 4 is on the way!
