Why a Coach Approach Matters Now More Than Ever

Building the Human Capabilities Healthcare Still Depends On

AI can generate information, summarize evidence and recommend possible next steps. What it cannot replace is the human skill required to help someone uncover what matters, navigate uncertainty, take ownership and follow through.

Hélène experienced the impact of a Coach Approach in her own occupational therapy practice through stronger clinical outcomes, greater professional confidence, reduced burnout and the development of new e-health services. She saw that these skills aligned with foundational competencies across healthcare and helping professions and could support a shift toward preventative care by strengthening clients’ participation and self-management.

Believing healthcare professionals should not have to become credentialed coaches to use coaching skills responsibly and effectively, Hélène created the Dive Into a Coach Approach® program. Its three-level, stackable certificate pathway helps professionals move from understanding the foundational skills to practising them with greater relational awareness and applying them in real client relationships.

The program provides 60 hours of coach-specific education, including 40 hours approved by the International Coaching Federation for Continuing Coach Education. Participants may also earn applicable continuing education through AOTA and NBHWC.

For professionals pursuing an ICF credential, Level 4 | ICF Readiness & Mentorship provides additional coach-specific education, mentor coaching, competency-based Growth Feedback and support for an ACC Portfolio Path application.

Today, healthcare and helping professionals across disciplines apply the Dive Into a Coach Approach® methodology in settings ranging from pediatrics and acute care to private practice, education and leadership.
