The MARPE Methodology
At MARPE we utilize the Positive Intelligence Framework as the foundation to building mental fitness. We have carefully chosen this platform for several reasons. First, the Positive Intelligence Framework is a simple, yet powerful and effective operational system backed by the compilation of data from scientific studies in cognitive behavioral therapy, positive psychology, performance science, and neuroscience plus the results from independent research on more than 50, 000 participants from over 50 countries. Second, this framework has a built-in unique vocabulary that simplifies communication and creates an opening for our clients to be more vulnerable and authentic reaching higher levels of trust more quickly. Third, its simplicity makes it ideal for healthcare professionals to integrate into their busy schedules. And fourth, the framework builds on itself allowing for lifetime continued growth.
Understanding the myriad causes of chronic stress in the lives of most healthcare professionals ,including but not limited to, increasing demands to see greater numbers of patients in less time, spending excessive amounts of time on electronic health records, having to perform the duties of several people due to attrition and staff shortages, and dealing with the rapidly changing expectations in the health sector, etc., we introduce our clients to the Positive Intelligence Framework and teach them how to use and apply it to their unique challenges in healthcare. We provide them with a platform to learn and practice the framework, and they are held accountable for use of the platform and regular practice of the skills by their coach and colleagues, to assure they are incorporating the skills to their daily work.
During the coaching sessions clients are taken through a facilitated exploration of topics customized to move forward the established coaching goals through the practical applications of the mental fitness skills they are learning and building. We utilize Co-Active coaching techniques to partner with the clients in creating a collaborative and trusting environment. And when working with teams we simultaneously strive to build the 4 pillars to highest team performance and well-being: 1. Triple purpose 2. Earned trust 3. Healthy conflict and 4. Mutual accountability.
Upon completion of our programs, at a minimum, clients will have a strong understanding of the Positive Intelligence framework, they will have a common vocabulary that can continue to serve them in handling team conflicts in healthy and productive ways, and they will know how to apply the Positive Intelligence framework to navigate their unique daily challenges, all of which can improve the clinician experience. But beyond this, clients will be empowered to to use their minds more optimally, to work more purposefully with colleagues and patients, to consider what might be possible in the delivery of quality healthcare, to become agents of change in their organizations, and to be a positive transformative force in the healthcare sector.
