February 12, 2026 @ 10:30 am - 12:30 pmBMT

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.
