Leadership, performance and wellbeing coaching: for individuals and groups, doctors, allied health professionals and healthcare leaders

For Individuals

Are you looking to enhance your leadership skills, address difficult challenges in your workplace and take the next step in your healthcare career?

Capstan Partners offers healthcare leadership coaching programs for clinicians and healthcare professionals for both individuals and groups. Each program may focus on different coaching goals, but all are based on working through an important issue that matters to you, setting goals and finding your path to effectively moving forward in real time.

Clinicians attend group or individual thought-provoking and creative sessions to give them space and time to reflect on what is important and then holds them accountable to change habits, maximising their personal and professional potential. Includes psychometric intake and evaluation surveys.

Clinicians engage in eight x one-hour virtual sessions including pre- and end- program psychometric assessments and debriefs. 360 assessments, sample report here, offers real-time snapshot of leadership capability: attitude, behaviour and performance, and reveal strengths and development opportunities.

Participant feedback: ‘My coach was flexible with my work schedule, ‘When you are used to being self-resilient, it is hard to open up, but good to be made to feel vulnerable at times !’, ‘It was hard to find time in the week to fit it in but it was worth making the time’, ‘Very positive, leads to actual solutions and actions and I would highly recommend’, ‘Self- reflection and discussion of strengths, weaknesses and practicing to control emotions and reactions via new techniques.’

Performance Coaching

Clinicians are under more pressure than ever. Remaining calm and presenting well in a high-stakes interview or a clinical examination requires self-management strategies that are hugely important, yet rarely taught. Performance coaching programs enable you to identify techniques that will work for you, curated with your coach and practiced and refined by you to ensure you put your best foot forward.

The Capstan Partners Performance Coaching program aims to:

  • Learn and embed new techniques that will help you reduce anxiety, build confidence and embed effective skillsets and mindset, and
  • Create higher levels of self-insight, awareness and techniques to overcome any self-defeating thoughts, negative emotions and behaviour.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about individual professional coaching with Capstan Partners. If you have a question that isn't answered here and you'd like it answered, please let us know.

What is Capstan's Be Coached program?

Be Coached is Capstan Partners' one-to-one professional coaching program for doctors, allied health professionals and healthcare leaders across Australia and New Zealand. It has three streams — Leadership Coaching, Performance Coaching and Career Coaching — delivered virtually by credentialed coaches with healthcare backgrounds.

A standard individual program includes 45-minute virtual sessions and psychological wellbeing surveys taken and debriefed at the program start and end.

Who is individual professional coaching for?

Individual professional coaching is for healthcare professionals at any career stage who want to professionally develop and grow from a good place to a great place: junior doctors, registrars and trainees, supervisors of training, consultants and fellows, nurses, allied health professionals, and both clinical and non-clinical healthcare leaders.

You do not need to hold a leadership title to benefit — common goals include confidence, career direction, difficult workplace relationships, exam performance, and preventing burnout.

What is the Learn-Lead-Embed approach?

Learn-Lead-Embed is Capstan's coaching approach: you gain new insights and knowledge, lead by applying them to real challenges in your current role, and embed them as sustained habits through accountability between sessions.

It underpins the essence of transformative coaching and is designed so that change persists after the program ends rather than fading once sessions stop.

What happens in a coaching session?

You bring a real issue that matters to you, and your coach uses structured, future-focused questioning to help you gain insight, set goals and identify concrete next steps. Sessions are thought-provoking and creative rather than advisory — you remain the expert in your own choices.

Your coach may ask questions, reflect observations, challenge assumptions or help you identify patterns, but you decide what to explore and what actions to take. Between sessions you act on what you decided, and your coach holds you accountable at the next session.

How long is the program and how often are sessions?

The standard individual program offers a series of 45-minute virtual sessions. The duration of a program may range from two to nine months, with four sessions the minimum available.

Session frequency is arranged with your coach around your availability and roster, and is typically scheduled every three weeks — giving you enough time to act on commitments and reflections between sessions, and not so much time that you lose traction and momentum on what you have decided is important. Variations may be available on request.

What's included in an individual coaching program?
  • 45-minute virtual coaching sessions with a credentialed coach
  • Psychological wellbeing intake assessment and debrief before coaching begins
  • Goal-setting on a real professional issue of your choosing
  • Accountability and support between sessions
  • End-of-program psychological wellbeing debrief and evaluation
  • Optional 360-degree leadership assessment covering four key themes: self-management, relationship management, working in the organisation, and working on the organisation
Why is a 360 leadership assessment useful?

Healthcare professionals often have to manage a wide range of stakeholders, including doctors, nursing staff, trainees, allied health professionals, administrators, and sometimes executives and board members. The Hogan 360 collects feedback from these different groups — peers, direct reports, superiors and self-assessment — offering a well-rounded view of leadership effectiveness.

The Hogan 360 provides comparisons to norms based on a large database of leaders across industries, including healthcare, allowing healthcare professionals to understand how they perform relative to peers in similar roles.

The assessment measures critical leadership competencies such as emotional intelligence, communication skills, team leadership, strategic vision and change management — particularly relevant in the high-pressure, complex healthcare environment. This real-time information highlights gaps between self-perception and how others perceive them, providing actionable insights and recommendations for improvement.

The 360 leadership assessment is an optional component of our Leadership Coaching program, available for an additional fee.

Do I have to have a 360 leadership assessment if I want leadership coaching?

No. The 360 leadership assessment is optional, available for an additional fee, and gathers feedback from colleagues to give a real-time snapshot of your leadership capability — revealing both strengths and development opportunities. A sample report is available from this page so you can see the format before committing.

Coaching does not depend on completing a 360 assessment. Many clients achieve significant and transformative outcomes through coaching alone, using their own goals, experiences, challenges and reflections as the foundation for development.

What are the psychometric assessments and psychological wellbeing surveys used for?

Psychometric assessments are used to gain insights about the wellbeing of program participants, and to assess the efficacy of professional coaching on participants' psychological wellbeing over the course of the program. Pre- and post-program assessments including a Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale (DASS), Flourishing, WHO-Wellbeing 5 and Solution Focused Thinking are a standard part of our programs.

Your results will be debriefed to you in the first and last session, and where relevant it is expected you will disclose past or present psychological or psychiatric conditions. Professional coaching is not therapy and doesn't aim to treat psychological problems. If such issues present during coaching, they will be treated with absolute confidentiality and you may be referred to an appropriately qualified specialist.

Results are debriefed with your coach and belong to you; they are not shared with your employer. You may opt out from having your de-identified, aggregated results included in our data collection process, as detailed in your coaching agreement upon registration.

What can I work on in coaching?

Common coaching goals for Capstan's clients include:

  • Developing leadership insight, confidence and competence
  • Navigating career transitions and 'what next' decisions
  • Managing difficult workplace relationships and managing upwards
  • Preparing for exams, interviews and high-stakes assessments
  • Delegating effectively and reducing personal workload
  • Improving wellbeing and preventing burnout — 'burning bright' rather than burning out
  • Communicating and leading within complex or under-resourced systems
Do I need a specific goal before I start?

No. Many participants begin with a general sense that something needs to change, and the first sessions are used to clarify what matters most and turn it into a workable goal. Bringing a vague dissatisfaction is a legitimate starting point: clarifying what is important is part of the coaching process.

How do I get matched with a coach?

You book an obligation-free discussion, describe what you want to work on, and Capstan matches you with a coach from its panel based on your goals, background and availability. Matching considers whether you want a coach with a clinical background, your specialty context and your scheduling constraints.

Coach profiles are published on the Capstan Partners coaching panel page.

Can I choose my own coach?

Yes. We encourage every participant to meet with a potential coach before deciding whether they are the right fit. A strong connection and sense of trust between coach and client are important to an effective coaching relationship, so this initial conversation gives you an opportunity to get a feel for the coach's approach, experience and style.

There is no obligation to continue if you don't feel the fit is right. We can help you identify another coach who may be better suited to your needs.

When is coaching available and can sessions be rescheduled?

Virtual coaching sessions can be arranged from 07:30 to 18:00 AEST Monday to Thursday, and 07:30 to 16:00 AEST on Friday. Coaching sessions on Saturday mornings and outside of these hours may be available on request.

Session dates and times can be rescheduled with more than 48 hours' notice, or else the session may be forfeited. Adjustments are made for time zones globally.

In what way is the reflective practice in coaching programs useful?

Between-session reflection and preparation activities enable you to reflect on your coaching conversations, and on your thoughts, actions and emotions between sessions.

Results observed in a study by Di Stefano et al (2014) describe how fifteen minutes of reflective practice increased productivity and effectiveness in one work group more than in a comparative work group who did no reflective practice but worked fifteen minutes longer. Coaching helps hold individuals accountable for reflective practice and self-directed goals, and creates thinking time that more readily enables sustainable behaviour change over months of intentional effort.

Is coaching confidential?

Yes. No information acquired from Capstan Partners programs will be available to any third party except where explicitly agreed to by both parties, and in rare circumstances where decreed by law. Capstan Partners coaches abide by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) Ethics Pledge and the AHPRA Guidelines for Mandatory Notifications.

To support an Associate coach's ICF credentialing, the coachee's name, contact details, start and end dates, and total number of coaching hours may be logged to track and document a coach's coaching experience.

If your employer sponsors your coaching, the sponsoring employer receives attendance and de-identified, aggregated information only — not session content.

What if something clinical or mental-health related comes up during coaching?

Coaching is not therapy, and Capstan's coaches do not provide mental health treatment or clinical supervision. If a clinical or mental health need becomes apparent, your coach will raise it with you and support you to access appropriate care — through your GP, your doctors' health service or a mental health professional — while coaching continues or pauses as appropriate.

How much does individual coaching cost?

Individual coaching programs with Capstan start from $2,728.00 and include pre- and post-program psychological wellbeing surveys and debriefs, and between-session reflection and preparation support.

RACP members receive a 10% discount through the RACP Member Benefits platform.

Is individual professional coaching CPD-eligible?

Yes. Individual professional coaching may contribute to CPD, depending on your College's requirements and CPD framework. Coaching can typically be recognised under categories such as reviewing performance and reflective practice.

Capstan provides a CPD certificate of completion, and participants should confirm the applicable CPD category and requirements with their College.

Does coaching actually work for doctors?

Evidence supports the efficacy of individual coaching to improve the psychological wellbeing of doctors across various measures in the research literature. Capstan's Coaching for COVID-19 study found improvements in depression, anxiety and stress, as well as positive psychology outcomes including flourishing, wellbeing and solution-focused thinking.

With the intervention supplied by Capstan Partners, participant feedback describes coaching as leading to actual solutions and actions rather than abstract reflection, and 100% of research participants would recommend the program to their peers.

How soon will I see results from coaching?

Coaching may begin to improve psychological wellbeing and progress towards coaching goals within weeks, but allow at least three months to detect meaningful change and approximately six months to evaluate sustained improvement.

The timeframe varies according to your starting level of wellbeing, session frequency, outcome measures, and organisational and system context. Coaching should complement, not replace, clinical care or organisational action where significant mental health concerns, or personal or workplace stressors, are present.

How is group coaching different from individual coaching?

In individual coaching the entire program is devoted to your goals, flexibly scheduled to suit your availability. In group coaching you work on your own challenges alongside peers and gain from their perspectives and shared experience, on a predetermined schedule set for the program.

Group formats add peer connection and reduce isolation — frequently cited as benefits for healthcare professionals — and cost less per participant. Individual coaching offers personalised, confidential support focused on one person's goals, challenges and development priorities.

Can our department or health service commission coaching for staff?

Yes. Health services can commission in-house SWITCH workshops, dedicated PEER group coaching cohorts, or sponsored individual coaching for their staff.

We offer tailored pricing and, where appropriate, discounted rates for organisations engaging multiple participants or commissioning larger coaching or professional development programs. Pricing depends on the scope, duration and number of participants. Contact info@capstan.com.au or call 0413 599 009 to discuss your requirements.
