ASTHO’s Power Hour PLUS: Expand Your Impact series equips public health leaders with the strategic insights, practical tools, and real-world strategies needed to lead with confidence and drive meaningful change. Building upon the success of the traditional 60-minute Power Hour format, Power Hour PLUS expands each session to 75 minutes, creating additional time for deeper exploration of leadership concepts, meaningful discussion, practical application, and peer-to-peer engagement. Over the course of five interactive sessions, participants will explore key leadership competencies that are critical for organizational success in today's complex public health environment.
The fourth session, Coaching Forward: From Feedback to Growth, Accountability, and Action, builds on the fundamentals of feedback to develop leaders' coaching skills, focusing on the conversations that happen after feedback is delivered. Participants will practice shifting from advice-giving to inquiry, learn how to clarify expectations without micromanaging, and develop a follow-up strategy that reinforces growth and accountability over time.
Participants will:
- Distinguish between feedback, coaching, and direction — and know which one the moment calls for.
- Use powerful coaching questions to shift ownership, promote reflection, and generate next steps
- Apply a feedback-to-coaching bridge that supports both growth and accountability without micromanaging.
- Design a simple follow-up strategy to reinforce progress and sustain momentum after a coaching conversation
Registration will close on Tuesday, Nov. 17.
