Giving feedback. Managing tension. Addressing poor behaviour. Checking in on struggling colleagues. Navigating difficult professional relationships.
These are some of the professional conversations many doctors are expected to lead every day, yet few receive formal preparation for this part of the role.
In the resource linked below, we highlight eight core professional conversations that commonly arise in leadership, supervisory and team-based roles within healthcare. These conversations play an important role in leadership effectiveness, accountability, team culture and psychologically safe workplaces.
The article also briefly explores how leadership coaching can provide practical space to prepare for and work through these conversations within the realities of your own professional context. AMA Victoria’s leadership coaching programs are recognised as accepted CPD activities within the AMC CPD Home framework and may also represent a valuable use of CME entitlement for senior doctors holding public sector appointments.
If you feel underprepared for these types of conversations or are navigating difficult team or leadership dynamics, you can also book a complimentary 15-minute Leader Check-in with AMA Victoria to discuss your current context and professional development needs.
