Medicina este deopotrivă despre alinarea suferinței oamenilor bolnavi sau îmbătrânind sau murind și despre un alt fel de suferință, suferința organizațională și sistemică a profesioniștilor. Tehnologia și inovația fac de asemenea promisiuni ambițioase oamenilor și afacerilor lor. Educația pentru coaching a experților cu redefinirea conceptelor de șef, intervenție terapeutică, digitalizare sau inovație, poate transforma industriile  cunoașterii, tehnologiei, statut-ului și profitului în industrii pentru o calitate mai bună a vieții. Disciplinele de coaching pot fi resursa profesională de echilibru și transformare pentru reducerea suferinței organizaționale și îndeplinirea promisiunilor.

 Viziunea ETHYS este că mentalitatea și comportamentele esențiale de coaching, inspirate de cadrul definit de Federația Internațională de Coaching, vor recentra medicina și tehnologia dinspre drama profesională proprie înspre speranțele oamenilor pe care îi servesc. Disciplinele esențiale de coaching împuternicesc profesioniștii pentru a depăși capcanele cunoașterii vaste dar fragmentate și ale profitului cu orice preț. Prin stăpânirea și utilizarea înțeleaptă a tehnologiei și științei, inclusiv a științelor cognitiv comportamentale, ar deveni posibil ca industriile sănătății, tehnologiei, și chiar și industria dreptății, să își îndeplinească până la urmă promisiunile.

Ethys MISSION

Ethys exists to bring the gold standard of coaching core competencies through profound learning, understanding, and disciplined action, to healthcare and technology professionals. Ethys mission is more than a statement, it is our promise. Inspired by diverse and concrete successful work in healthcare and not only by psychological theories, the Ethys educational program “Profound respect-based Leadership coaching” aims to optimize the quality and long-term success of the healthcare professional life.

A new balance of leader behaviors, knowledge, and technology, will reduce the drama and better serve the people in need.

Ethys VALUES  ♦Respect ♦The power of belief ♦Profundity

 RESPECT

All our interactions with partners, clients, and competitors are based on profound respect, consideration, and validation for each human’s effort and suffering, regardless of status, education, or actions. Intellectual humility and the openness to understand complexity are the foundations of our unconditional respect. Our expressions of this value are politeness, direct communication, and a helping mentality.

THE POWER OF BELIEF

We really take into consideration people’s diverse beliefs, motivations, and values, as sources of one’s inner power to act with courage. Continuous dialogue about our different beliefs and our different understanding could bring us closer to a common meaning. Beyond that, shared faith is making shared purposes happen.

PROFUNDITY

Profoundly learning, understanding, and acting upon a few essential bodies of knowledge as well as recognizing the unknown and the uncertain may be more productive in the future compared to contemporary dilettantism, exhaustion, and confusion of “knowing everything” superficially, being overconnected and overcommunicating……….and doing the same.

Profundity is the foundation for respect, clarity, professionalism, and collaboration. It could be the professional journey to a meaningful simplicity. Constantin Brâncuși, the famous Romanian minimalist wrote: ” Simplicity is not a purpose in art, but one achieves simplicity despite one’s self by entering into the real sense of things.” It could be the same in leadership.

Ethys Scientific is a space of profound respect Executive coaching & Mentor coaching for meaningful and effortful journeys to simplicity and joy. On the journey, it is possible to obtain a clearer self-concept related to a fresh perspective on the current and future professional reality.

_____________________________________________________

We are not hiding behind sophisticated or vague words and ideas, and not behind a simplistic formula either. Inspired by Mastermind groups, we strive to carefully and precisely understand how reality works, the words, and the conversations. We strive to deeply understand and respect each other unique stories and to build together a shared meaning and a real sense for some successful different and consistent behavior, as defined by ICF.

Ethys learning philosophy for the Coaching Education Program „Profound respect-based Leadership coaching in medicine & tech”  started from the next perspectives on the professional healthcare realities:

1. People waste too much energy because of healthcare organizational and systemic interprofessional unnecessary drama up to burnout through professional bullying,

2. There is an almost exclusive focus on the endless maze of science & technology knowledge that fails to reach the stated purpose of a better life for each patient through precision, affordable costs, and universal access.

3. the human cognitive, especially attentional resources are “severely limited” compared to the huge amount of stimuli we encounter continuously and compared to the huge amount of fragmented scientific knowledge.

As a people manager-coach, essential coaching competencies and professional relationships-building education gave me decades ago the kind of understanding, focus, and work-life meaning that lacks in the long medical education and practice which continues to be overwhelmed by the needed techno-scientific competencies and by the unnecessary organizational drama.

The Ethys Education on Leadership Coaching

centers on the construct of profound respect as an essential discipline of understanding human beings at work beyond formal or non-formal leadership roles. Understanding the principles of complexity science is also filling a gap between classical science, linear – causality, status-oriented healthcare mentalities, organizations, and patient needs.

The International Coaching Federation framework is a coherent synergistic and dynamic system of essential behavioral competencies to support performance and prevent exhaustion in the demanding and complex nowadays medical world.

My role as an educator

is to select and facilitate the building of Mastermind alliances of already experienced learners and experienced professionals in different career stages from different stakeholder organizations in the healthcare industry.

The“coordination of knowledge and effort, in a spirit of harmony” (as Napoleon Hill defined the mastermind alliance), beyond the strong and limiting healthcare silos and hierarchy, is an ambitious purpose in itself. It is a process of transforming the ingrained habits of

– partizan thinking (us and them),

– superiority or inferiority complex,

– indirect communication through passive-aggressive behavior or gossip,

– habitual counter argumentation (black or white thinking), whining,

into a facilitated group coaching conversation based on profound respect and understanding for each. The executive coaching essential disciplines are the keys to the journey. A journey to harmony and minimalism in unstructured groups is unique to each and not always comfortable.

Our coaching education program is focused on two main learning theories: Transformative Learning theory (founded by Jack Mezirov) and Cognitive learning theory, which are both related to cognitive-behavioral and rational emotive behavior theories.

It is designed for

good hard-working people to regain their well-deserved joy and internal peace at work, no matter the magnitude of the world’s perpetual change. It is meant for people that somehow already lead and coach by profession if the ultimate scope of the medical profession is to change lives by alleviating human pain and suffering. I am inviting you to a fresh and insightful perspective also on your own professional suffering.

It is meant for already experienced learners of scientific complex concepts, who already know that intellectual work is intentional and effortful, solution seekers for ambiguous problems, hard workers, and formal or non-formal leaders to be or not. Come to us if you suppose that something is currently wrong at work and you are searching for some clarity at least eventually for a better professional life.

This coaching education program is not about another useless certification. It is a journey towards changing perspectives on apparently simple things like conversations, unconscious habits, authority, interests, and values. It is about allocating time for a new and profound understanding of the day-to-day work life inspired by the relatively young behavioral sciences and complexity science, as valuable to humankind as the classical sciences are.

The majority of our students graduate with at least ACC level of coaching competencies, as the first grounded step for a career in professional coaching or as a new set of few essential habitual behaviors for better stress management, leadership effectiveness, key professional relationship building, performance, inner strength and peace, conflict management, better coping with pressure, toxic people and organizational chaos.

 Methods

The scientific knowledge

▪ Breakthrough or game-changing scientific evidence-based knowledge is rare in neurobiology as well as in the behavioral, organizational, or leadership domains. There is still a lot of unknown and a lot of noisy speculative pseudoscience. The selection of a coherent and essential scientific body of knowledge to inspire facilitate and sustain a few individualized and realistic key habit changes is a continuous passionate hard work of mine. The alignment with the real problems of real work life and with the ICF framework is key to structure and consistency. The selected minimalist body of knowledge is not to be read but intentionally studied, correlated, and added to the prior experience to profoundly understand and experiment differently in the future.

▪ Facilitated Mastermind Alliance conversations correlate new to previous knowledge and to the relevant diverse work experience and observations of each.

At the end of the course, students should be able to demonstrate understanding and apply the concepts of mental models, habit formation, false perceptions, personality, emotional construct, complexity science, difficult patients, stages of change during illness as well as organizational change.

Attentional and observational training

• Behavior self-regulation through structured observation of the recorded workshops and coaching conversations, from 3 different perspectives: self, the other, and the external emergence observer. Structured feedforward feedback related to the ICF framework, from faculty and peers.
• Attentional training
• Role-plays

At the end of the course, students should demonstrate at least the ACC markers during a coaching conversation, better attentional and emotional management, and the capability to co-create individual coaching strategies and plans with peers. As formal or non-formal leaders at work, our students report a more efficient contribution to meetings, clearer career views, better influence in groups of professionals and with difficult patients, and a fresh approach to managing conflict.

The mentor coaching process

After completing the first part of the Ethys program ” Observe, Hear&Change your conversation”, and three out of five observed coaching sessions, the students have the option to enroll simultaneously in the Mentor coaching process, during the second part ” Adapt to People&Systems”. At the end of the Mentor Coaching process, students should be able to pass the final performance evaluation for The ICF competence markers at least at the ACC level.

Our promise

is hard work, total openness, understanding, and effortful support for each student to develop at their own pace the desired coaching competencies. The choices and responsibilities to prioritize profound learning in a noisy and changing world, to take an active role, and to participate with undivided attention in the workshops and assignments belong ultimately to the students. My promise is to support each student at the pace it desires or affords, as long as one needs, by eliminating the time limit of the program and by making myself as accessible as possible to each student individually.

We do not have the ambition to change the world or to build a scalable profitable automated communication tool either. This education program is not for everybody and anyone. Our promise is to one unique professional and eventually one unique group at a time with a profoundly human approach and will stay like that for the next decade.

Dr. Simina Dinca anesteziology resident : ”Thank you Iulia for your attentive care”

It is certain that during the Ethys coaching program, I experienced a complex professional, personal, and interpersonal evolution. I warmly recommend this program to any healthcare professional to better navigate difficult situations and to anyone who feels that sometimes their own impulsive reactions could generate bad consequences. Beyond informing, Ethys program is transforming yourself. Considering my own studies in medicine and psychology universities, Ethys program is more than just another course, it is an experience

Iuliana-Alma Mitea Senior Product Manager, Servier Pharma Romania: ”Thank you Iulia, I am prepared now to climb higher”

ICF states that “the coaching process often unlocks previous untapped resources of imagination, productivity, and leadership”. At ETHYS I found this true. Ethys program “Leader disciplines in medicine&tech, designed and facilitated by Iulia Deac, is a journey to new inner and outer awarenesses, that gives you that clarity, openness, and the ultimate realization that you can choose to be a part of the solution instead of being a part of a complex problem.This journey was for me the grounding for escalating my own ” eight-thousanders”. After 9 months of preparation, I know that I reached the highest edge of my “via Ferrata” of one of my mountains, by learning. I learned new perspectives about myself and about the context, by practicing leadership disciplines and flexible adapting to changing situations.
