You know how to assess, diagnose, and treat. But leading others? That requires a completely different skill set—one most healthcare professionals never receive training for.
Maybe you're a clinical lead splitting your time 50/50 between patients and your team. Maybe you're a fieldwork preceptor mentoring the next generation (often without extra pay or recognition). Or maybe you're thinking about stepping into leadership but don't feel ready.
Here's What You Probably Experience
- You default to "fixing" everything instead of developing others to solve problems themselves
- Your backpack is getting heavy—their stress, their questions, their performance gaps
- You avoid difficult conversations (feedback, conflict, performance reviews) because you don't have a framework
- You don't qualify for leadership training at your organization because you're not a "full-time" manager
- You don't even see yourself as a leader—even though people come to you for guidance daily
The truth? You're already leading. You just haven't been equipped with the skills to do it sustainably.
What If Leadership Felt Empowering Instead of Exhausting?
This cohort teaches you to shift from fixer to coach—so you can develop others, set boundaries, and lead without burning out.
Over four interactive workshops + small group accountability sessions, you'll learn the core coaching competencies that transform how you give feedback, handle conflict, delegate work, and prevent burnout (for yourself and your team).
Here's what makes this different:
- Designed for hybrid clinical-leaders—the ones who don't qualify for traditional leadership programs
- Coach Approach embedded in every workshop—learn to empower, not rescue
- Practical tools you'll use immediately—frameworks, worksheets, and toolkits for real scenarios
- Accountability built in—work with a small group of peers between sessions to apply what you learn
- Led by Hélène Thériault, BScOT, MAdEd, MCC—award-winning coach educator with 24+ years in healthcare leadership

Register NowWho This Is For
This cohort is designed for healthcare professionals who:
- Currently split time between clinical work and leadership responsibilities (clinical leads, preceptors, peer mentors)
- Want to step into a full-time leadership role, clinical lead position, or become a fieldwork preceptor
- Don't qualify for formal leadership training at their organization (because they're not "full-time" leaders)

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I can't make one of the live workshops?
All sessions are recorded. You'll receive access to the replay and can still take part in your peer practice sessions.
How are the peer practice groups assigned?
After registration closes, we'll group participants based on time zones and roles to ensure compatibility. You'll connect with your group after the first workshop.
What if my group can't find a time to meet?
The peer practice sessions are flexible and self-scheduled. We provide the structure (video + worksheet), and you coordinate timing. If scheduling becomes impossible, you can still complete the worksheets independently.
Is this only for occupational therapists?
No! This cohort is for all healthcare professionals in clinical-leadership roles: OTs, PTs, nurses, physicians, chiropractors, speech therapists, and more.
I'm not in a leadership role yet. Is this still for me?
Yes! Many participants join because they want to prepare for leadership opportunities (full-time roles, clinical lead positions, or precepting students). This cohort gives you the confidence and skills to step into those roles.
What's the cancellation policy?
Registrations are non-refundable, but you can transfer your spot to another cohort (pending availability) with 14 days' notice.
