MBM 5569 - Mindful Consulting

The professional consultant working in the health care system exercises a form of leadership without direct authority or control over an organization. Yet, consultants can play a critical role in inspiring a process of positive change. This course takes a humanistic approach to consulting practices by facilitating a process of positive inquiry, discovery, and learning during which the client decides future directions and actions for the organization.

This course incorporates mindfulness as an approach to delivering and practicing consulting, specifically through concepts such as positive inquiry, mutual respect, and joint responsibility for outcomes. It also provides a chance to explore and experience business-oriented skill development, including writing styles, creating and delivering customized proposals, and making effective presentations applicable to healthcare.

Professional consultants may work in major university medical centers and hospital systems, corporate medical clinics and health systems, corporate wellness programs, health insurance organizations, and small community or privately based clinics and group practices. Consultants work closely with other people who are responsible for the outcomes. Consulting can be part of any professional role, such as a teacher, HR manager, counselor, coach, or leader.

Offered: SU, even years. 12 Weeks.
