In this newsletter, I would like to share an article from the New Yorker by Dr. Atul Gawande. He posits the question “should you have a coach?” Although highly skilled and expert in his medical career, Dr. Gawande is willing and open to coaching and asks a retired surgeon to go along with his experiment. We all have our blind spots; we all have great skill that has gotten us to where we are, and, we all need to continue the journey of navigating complex organizations and relationships to continue that success.
Coaching is a relationship. It isn’t always easy, and it isn’t always comfortable. In the right relationship it should be trusted, honest, and supportive.
Read on to experience Dr. Gawande’s journey through coaching.
