Dr. Janet Hughes is a CMCC graduate and has recently established herself as an independent chiropractic coach. one of the biggest and most prominent chi- ropractic coaching services in North Ameri- ca. As well, Hughes has developed practice management programs for students at Life Chiropractic College in Atlanta, Georgia. Hughes notes that successful people in many walks of life employ coaches in their fi elds. Many CEOs of companies, business people in all fields, educators, politicians and other public figures, etc., work with coaches to build or boost lead- ership and organizational skills. These people begin working with a coach at various stages of their careers and may continue to do so until they retire. Therefore, Hughes feels chiropractors of all types, practice paradigms, ages and stages, might, potentially benefi t from a re- lationship with a coach – but the key, notes Hughes – along with many other coaches and consultants – is fi nding the one that is the right fi t for you and your practice. • For article with references, please go to www.canadianchiropractor.ca.
