USACS Executive Coaching Program
US Acute Care Solutions empowers leaders to find and enact solutions for themselves and their organizations through its Executive Coaching Program. Sometimes a coach is simply a sounding board. Other times, the coach facilitates clarity and provides focus and direction in how to move forward.
Empowering Leaders
USACS is proud to offer to our hospital partners its Executive Coaching program. An executive coach works with high potential professionals to help them gain self-awareness, clarify goals and achieve objectives.
Executive coaching is not mental health counseling or business consulting; rather, the coach’s primary role is to unlock the client’s potential and help the executive meet his or her goals while leading the client to the best personal answers.
Benefits of coaching
