In Conversation with Ben Jeeves - Using a Coaching Style with Patients   Today Claire Pedrick MCC is in conversation with Advanced Practice Physiotherapist Ben Jeeves.  Claire met Ben on one of 3D’s Building a Coaching Culture (Transforming Conversations) courses.  Today they talk about the differences that a coaching style has made to the way that Ben works with patients. ‘It’s easily embedded into your professional life’   takeaways Coaching can be a powerful tool in healthcare conversations, empowering patients and helping them realize their own answers. Coaching is not limited to clinical work and can be applied in leadership and project management roles. Coaching brings a future focus and optimism to conversations, even in challenging situations. Noticing and being conscious of power dynamics is important in both patient consultations and leadership roles. Coaching can be easily embedded into professional life and can have a positive impact on both individuals and organizations.   If you’re working in health care and would like to talk with Ben, he’s on Twitter @bjeeves and Linked In   keywords   coaching, physiotherapy, musculoskeletal care, conversations, patients, empowerment, leadership, project management, healthcare
