1Department of Management, Griffith University, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia.
Objective:
To explore how emergency physicians experience and sustain the shift from clinicians to clinician-coaches.
Methods:
Participants were interviewed about how they made sense of their coaching roles and coaching practice within the emergency department.
Results:
Using reflexive thematic analysis, five themes were developed that pertain to the key learning shifts that characterised their journey from clinician to clinician-coach. These involved a shift from problem-solving to possibility-finding; from authority to partnership; from certainty to curiosity; from expertise to humility; and from doing to being.
Conclusions:
Fostering a supportive environment for these five shifts could facilitate the transformations in identity and practice necessary for clinicians to become clinician-coaches.
