Evidence-based communication skills and coaching strategies that have been shown to positively impact behavior change are taught in eleven weekly sessions. Interactions with other students in the virtual classroom through discussions, watching videos, and sharing coaching resources make up the core foundation of this comprehensive training.
Online classes allow you to do the majority of the training from your own location, in your own time.
Four live webinars and one conference call provide further opportunity to interact with Mayo faculty, ask questions, and learn practical coaching skills. It is important to note that these interactions are required parts of the course, and are offered in Central Time (CT).
Opportunities to practice and receive feedback on your developing coaching skills are essential. For 6 weeks during the course you will meet in peer coaching dyads or triads, using the distance communication technology of your choice, to complete practice coaching assignments. Three calls allow you to practice independently, and three calls are mentored by Mayo Clinic faculty to maximize the learning of skills.
