Listen "Taking Bricks Out of the Backpack"
Episode Synopsis
Dr. Heather Gilmartin shares her evolution from nursing to leadership coaching. She talks about how a highly challenging moment in her professional life led to her desire to pursue guidance from a coach, and she describes the transformative moment in which her coach was silent, present, and without judgment. She makes linkages between coaching and the nursing profession, between the state of relational flow and sacred moments. Dr. Gilmartin highlights her personal mindfulness practice, elements from sports psychology she uses in her coaching strategies, and the ways her patient care could have been different by using a coaching lens. We touch on the significance of building trust, emotional intelligence, and attunement in coaching relationships. As an added bonus, Dr. Gilmartin helps to uncover a bit of my own psychology – how I can’t make a decision about dinner, how too many options paralyzes me with indecision, and how familial influences impacted my ability to recognize and access my own emotions.Sacred Moments Initiative2800 Plymouth RoadNorth Campus Research ComplexBuilding 16, Room 430WAnn Arbor, MI 48109-2800734-936-5216
