Presented by: Hélène Thériault, MScOT, MCC, Founder of Function First Coaching™
Despite the vital role occupational therapists play in healthcare, many remain underrepresented and unprepared for leadership positions. This limits the profession’s influence on policy, practice, and systems-level change.
This session explores how adopting a coach approach can bridge this leadership gap, strengthen therapeutic alliances, foster confidence, and empower OTs to lead with impact.
What You’ll Learn:
How a coach approach can cultivate leadership skills within OT
Ways to integrate coaching conversations into everyday practice
Case studies of OTs using coaching to enhance client care and team leadership
By shifting from problem-solving to empowerment, OTs can transform from clinicians to changemakers, reshaping the future of healthcare.
