Teams Thinking Within the System with Gillian Faith | Episode 112

In this episode, co-hosts Klaus Grim and Gillian Faith explore why healthcare teams struggle to see themselves as part of a larger system — and how shifting from blame to curiosity, fostering psychological safety, and embracing systemic team coaching can unlock stronger communication, collaboration, and wellbeing across every level of care.  Discover how a future-focused, outside-in coaching approach helps healthcare teams break hierarchical barriers, amplify silent voices, and lead with both effectiveness and wellbeing at the forefront.
