Professional development is an ongoing process
enabling professionals to improve their performance.
Are public health nurses and managers ready to be
engaged in a new way of exploring professional
learning plans? Is a coaching framework a way to
proceed? Can coaching as an approach affect change
related to the nurse's practice and standards?
A professional learning plan is a tool that
identifies specific criteria for continual success.
The criteria involve components directly related to
leadership capabilities, and process including
collegiality, collaboration, support,
acknowledgement, and reflection.
A professional learning plan should be to not change
people by letting them know what they need to
improve on, but build on their strengths so change
occurs.
The relationship between the public health nurse and
his or her manager is a key component of
professional development. A professional learning
plan that the nurse owns and the manager supports
would be one way to build this relationship.
Coaching signifies a strength-base approach and a
process to enable relationships. It is a process of
dialogue, discovering, learning about issues and
challenges.
