SPIRO
Coaching Academies
The Spiro Coaching Institute’s Coaching Academies include two separate International Coach Federation (ICF) accredited coaching skills training experiences. Both are practical, evidence-based, professional development experiences designed specifically for people in Academic Medical Centers or Higher Education who want to leverage coaching skills to improve their impact as leaders.

PARTICIPANTS DEVELOP THE CURIOSITY, PRESENCE, AND LISTENING SKILLS THAT ENABLE THEM TO:
• Increase employee engagement
• Improve performance
• Foster innovation, creativity, and proactive problem solving
• Support a culture of continual improvement among administration and faculty
• Develop bench strength, emerging and future leaders

“Incorporating coaching into my day-to-day work has allowed me to serve as a more effective thought partner and sounding board to my colleagues. Coaching has also provided me with new tools for supporting my direct reports and their growth as leaders and problem-solvers. I highly recommend this course for senior leaders who want to grow or stretch their teams.”
