Are you looking to build your workplace conflict resolution skills? Or maybe you would like to get connected with a senior healthcare leader to explore where you fit into the healthcare sector?
Emerging Health Leaders (EHL) Vancouver is proud to offer two exciting programs to our members to promote their growth and development: coaching and mentorship. Read on to learn more about the participation benefits.
Coaching Program – in partnership with Royal Roads University
Overview: EHL Vancouver teams up with Royal Roads University to provide free coaching services in all aspects of work and career development for young emerging health leaders. Coaching is a process that enables learning and development to occur thus improving workplace performance. Program intake is twice yearly, in October and March.
- Coaches are seasoned working professionals from a variety of sectors (HR, health, finance, natural resources, law, etc.), whom are currently completing their Graduate Certificate in Executive Coaching at Royal Roads University.
- All EHL Vancouver members are eligible to receive coaching.
- The Coach-Client relationships will be set up by a mutual agreement for time, duration and possibly repetition.
Mentorship Program – in partnership with Canadian College of Health Leaders
Overview: EHL Vancouver partners with the CCHL BC Lower Mainland Chapter to offer a mentorship program. Our program is intended to assist EHL members in their personal and professional growth and development, as well as strengthen their ties of healthcare executives in the local BC Lower Mainland CCHL chapter. It facilitates unique learning not easily obtained in the workplace. Program intake is once yearly, in September/October.
- Mentors are defined as experienced healthcare professionals, with more than 7 years of healthcare related work experience.
- Mentees are defined as EHL members, either students currently within the MHA, MBA, EMB of a health-related leadership program, or working professionals within their first 5 years of work experience in a health care sector.
- Matching will be based on interests, geography, and mentoring goals among other factors.
- Participants are asked to commit to 2-3 hours per month, between October and June
- You can sign up to be a mentor or a mentee or both!
What’s Right for Me?
EHL members will benefit from both the Mentorship and Coaching programs, and are not limited to one or the other. Please feel free to apply to either or both programs based on your needs. You may want to have a mentor if you are looking to gain insights from someone with extensive experience in healthcare, learn from their career path, and build a longer-term relationship. You may want a coach if you are looking to build a specific skill as a leader in a professional setting and would benefit from a period of focus around this goal.
