INTRODUCING
The L.E.A.D. Online Mastermind Programme

 

This innovative training is uniquely focused on the "soft" skills that cause the hardest problems that we weren't taught in university.  Knowledge is the key foundation of pharmacy practice.  However studies show that without excellent personal skills and attitudes, up to 85% of our impact and results are lost, despite our knowledge.  This programme will help you to increase your impact and influence, assist you to confidently take on new responsibilities, position yourself positively in the marketplace and develop the mindset and skills to be the best version of yourself, even in challenging circumstances.

 

Here are some of the reasons recent participants shared about joining the programme:

"The desire to be more confident less afraid and more relaxed again as a pharmacist made me start the programme. The overspill into my personal life was also taking its toll.  I was terrifed of CPD."

************************************

"I was very much in my comfort zone at work, being in the same job for 5 years but in all honesty I knew I was professionally isolated working on my own with a technician who wasn't going to help me record my CPD- I needed to do something to get out of my comfort zone and meet other pharmacists, even on-line, who all want to push ahead with their CPD. From reading about the LEAD programme I felt I would be communicating with other pharmacists."

 ************************************

Current participants have experienced the following benefits from being engaged in the programme"

 "I feel more in control in my work environment which means I am feeling less stressed in and outside of work. I am more optimistic about achieving what I want to achieve in work.  I am now viewing and reflecting on decisions through the lens of my values which is something I had not considered before."

************************************

"This programme is a life-saver.  I can now articulate so many things that I never had words for before.  The content is really SO thought provoking.  The fact I was driving to my locum posts gave me time to think.   And I loved listening to the recordings especially the contribution of other pharmacists, on my way to and from work."

************************************

"It became very clear to me doing the values, vision and authenticity topics that I was not thriving or contributing optimally in the work environment I was in.  I made a conscious choice to change that and I have discovered that I am adaptable and I can add more value in different working environments.  I am much more proactive about selecting work environments that support me to add the most value."

************************************

After 10 years of owning and managing my own pharmacy, I took a year off work on extended maternity leave.  After the first few months I started working on my e-Portfolio.  I kept my clinical knowledge up to date by reading and by completing some clinical presentations on line. However, I struggled with improving my competence in Domains 1 (professional practice), 2 (personal skills) and 6 (organisation and management skills) by being out of the workplace. Moreover, on completing the CCSAT , Domain 1 (professional practice , practices ethically) and Domain 6 (organisation and management skills, self- management skills) were identified as two areas for improvement.

I was at a cross-roads in my life, experiencing personal (becoming a parent) and business (sold my pharmacy) changes.  I wanted to get clear about my next steps.  I signed up and completed the Alignment Module of L.E.A.D. Online Programme over a four month period. On completion, I not only had 3 CPD cycles demonstrating improved competence in Domains 1, 2, 4 and 6 completed, but I had also learned a huge amount about myself.  In particular, the section on Visioning and Goal setting, has given me the self- awareness and the tools to help improve my decision making.

I would highly recommend L.E.A.D. to anybody (pharmacists and non-pharmacists) who is looking to become more confident and to overcoming barriers to their success.  Rachel is a fantastic coach, very enthusiastic, approachable, knowledgeable and hard- working.  I couldn’t recommend her highly enough. I am so glad I participated in the programme, from both a professional and personal point of view.

Benefits for the Pharmacy Leader Team doing LEAD Online Together

  • Enhanced engagement and fulfillment
  • Focus on what is possible and learn from every experience 
  • Increased connectedness
  • Reduced tolerations
  • Increased productivity 

"To get to the next level of greatness depends on our culture, which depends on the quality of our relationships, which depends on the quality of our conversations.  Everything happens through conversations!"  

Judith Glaser

"Employee engagement improves quality of work and health. For example, higher scoring business units report 48% fewer safety incidents; 41% fewer patient safety incidents; and 41% fewer quality incidents (defects)".

https://hbr.org/2013/07/employee-engagement-does-more

 

Recent participants in the programme echoed similar feelings with these insights:

"I was feeling very negative about my life in general I felt somewhat overwhelmed and disillusioned and had lost my mojo with my patients....which was very worrying. Something had to change....and it could and can only come from me!"

************************************

"I was surprised how challenging I found the values and vision and goal setting modules.  I had not realised how my thoughts had become so negative that I found it really difficult to focus on what I wanted.  This insight was huge for me."

************************************

"I never realised the impact of being so professionally isolated was having on me.  Professional engagement is SO valuable. "

Meet Rachel Dungan -- The Pharmacist Coach

I have a wealth of experience as a pharmacist, trainer and a credentialed professional coach.  My focus is to support pharmacists like you to achieve your personal and professional goals, make a positive difference in patients' lives and increase your positive impact.

My pharmacy experience spans over 20 years experience in patient-facing roles in hospital and community. I have held roles as superintendent pharmacist, supervising pharmacist, pharmacy manager and currently focuses primarily on coaching and training pharmacists and your teams to achieve your potential. 

I mentor pharmacy interns to prepare to showcase their skills during their Pre-Registration Exam, especially their OSCEs.  My focus is on developing their ability to communicate with impact and influence, manage their mindset, provide feedback and raise their awareness and skill to demonstrate confidence and competence during consultations.  

We may well have met each other already, in my capacity as a pharmacist trainer with IPU Academy, Hibernian Healthcare Flu Vaccination Training, CPD Sessions Supporting Mental Health in Pharmacy Practice Module or at one of the Peer Support Pharmacist Information evenings offered by the IIOP.   Or perhaps we met when you participated in one of 4Front's weekly online masterclasses, which are provided in partnership with Pharmaconex to support your CPD.

You can find out more about some of the live accredited workshops you could consider as part of your personal, professional or business development learning and development activities, by clicking here.  All the programmes that I am involved in are mapped to the PSI Core Competency Framework for Pharmacists and/or the ICF Core Competency Framework for Coaches.  

As well as being a pharmacist, I am also deeply involved in Continuing Coach Education, particularly where it connects to healthcare.  I am a credentialed coach member of the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and am ICF Ireland's 2015 Life/Wellness Coach of the Year and founder of 4Front Pharmacy Solutions.  As programme coordinator of the Medical Coaching Learning Community, I am fortunate to have developed an international network of thought-leaders with expertise in empowering patients living with medical conditions to be proactive about managing their own health and well-being.

In 2017, I will take up a role with ICF Global as co-lead of the International Health and Wellness Coaching Community of Practice.  Pharmacists interested in expanding their healthcare perspectives are welcome to join either community.

A 12-Month Programme Seems Like a Very Significant Commitment.

It is significant.  

It is a commitment.  

To YOU.  

To YOUR goals,  YOUR Personal Development.  YOUR Professional Development.  YOUR business development.   YOUR Career. 

The LEAD Mastermind Programme is an investment in YOU, the person who is the pharmacist, as much as it is an investment in YOU - the pharmacist professional.  

It is designed to embolden you to LEAD more fully in your own life, your own career, your own business, your own professional development.  To take charge of what you can control.  To find and articulate your voice.  To make sustainable changes towards achieving your vision and goals, aligned with your values.  To be ALL of who you are.  

This is a 12-Month journey of discovery.  It is NOT a quick fix.  It is a wonderful, exciting, scary, leadership journey.  

Your participation in The LEAD Mastermind Programme will ask questions of you that perhaps you have never asked yourself before.  And even if you have asked them, you probably have never taken the time to listen to the answers.  It takes courage to "go there".  And it is expressly designed and structured to support you to be courageous.  

As with any worthwhile journey, there will be days when you feel like giving up.  That is why is it SO important to decide IN ADVANCE that you will do whatever it takes to complete the journey.  Otherwise, excuses, distractions, other people's priorities will intervene. The 12 months will pass anyway. 

Just think of it.  How likely is it that you would have completed your pharmacy degree if you did not . . .

  • commit in advance to finish what you started on day 1 of your freshman year?
  • have the structure of the class timetable
  • have the accountability of the exams
  • have the support of your classmates, tutors, lecturers, parents etc.

As pharmacists, we are high achievers and we work well with structure.  The LEAD Mastermind Programme gives us a framework to achieve.  How can you leverage what you are already good at? What already works for you to achieve and invest in what is MOST IMPORTANT?  The LEAD Mastermind Programme offers you this opportunity.  All you have to do is DECIDE - Is this programme right for me?   If it is, then enroll today and then follow and engage in the process!  

The 12 months will pass by anyway.  Why not give yourself the L.E.A.D. framework to make them the most impactful 12 months of your life to date?  

Is the L.E.A.D. Online Mastermind Programme, the Right Choice to Support Me to Achieve My CPD Goals?

I don't know.  But here are some questions  I offer to help you to come to a clear decision.

Extracts of Pharmacist Participant Feedback

Getting Started with CPD and the ePortfolio Masterclass

 

"I wanted to start to record my CPD and not be afraid of it anymore.  I had built CPD up into a monster in my head.  Now I am able to navigate the site and I know enough to confidently practice!  I didn't have a clue what it meant until tonight so THANK YOU Rachel."

 

What Counts as CPD Masterclass

"I've recently moved house with 3rd new baby, so time management with full time work, so I wanted to get ideas as to how to fit it all in.  Time management and problem solving are needed every day in order to do my job well.  I now know how I can draw on life experiences and non-clinical scenarios for self appraisal and transfer to CPD.  I have definitely risen 5 steps up on confidence and strategies during this workshop.  Thank you." 

Preparing for ePortfolio Review Masterclass

"I want to reduce my stress levels around CPD and to be more confident I am writing correct things in each section.  Why? I am not called this year, but I want to be prepared. After just 2 hours I can say I have clearly understood the review standards and what is required of me. My Confidence is 10/10.   Next steps? I will reflection my open CPD cycles and make sure they are consistent with the standards".

What Results Have Other L.E.A.D. Online Mastermind Programme Participants Had?

"The one to one coaching and this course gave me the confidence to apply for jobs I wanted and ultimately to be offered a job that is much more aligned with my values."

********************************************

"It was a real breakthrough for me to talk up in the group and have the confidence to do so.  It was intimidating at the start but listening back to the recordings, I realise how much value we each bring and that helped me to contribute too…. Hoping it would help someone else."

********************************************

"I have become much more proactive - and have the courage to make difficult decisions and take action, because I know it is the right think - rather than hesitate.  I has been a real challenge and also a real breakthrough.  As a result, my business, my career and my home-life are becoming increasingly aligned."

********************************************
"Every pharmacist should do this programme, especially those coming straight out of college.  It helps you to uncover the self-awareness that is essential in dealing effectively with people.  Find a way to offer this programme at undergraduate level."
