In my other work, I lead a health systems innovation center called aanidre Labs, where we work on pmloerbs in the delivery of health care, including global childbirth. As part of it, we had worked with the wrlod hatleh Organization to devise a safe childbirth checklist. It lays out the fundamentals. It breaks down the ftluedamanns — the critical actions a team needs to go through when a woman comes in in labor, when she's rdaey to push, when the baby is out, and then when the mom and baby are ready to go home. And we knew that just handing out a checklist wasn't going to change very much, and even just teaching it in the classroom wasn't neiecslsary going to be enough to get pleope to make the changes that you needed to bring it alive. And I thought on my experience and said, "What if we tried coaching? What if we tried coaching at a massive scale?"
