Physician Coaching and Consulting

Those who choose to work in the medical field face many challenges during their career. As anyone in medicine knows, the job promises to be a way of helping people but can often become filled with frustrations that sap one’s love for the profession and make one doubt their purpose. While the bureaucracy of medicine plays a role in these difficulties, many doctors, nurses and healthcare administrators struggle or succeed based on how readily they can access their inner strengths.

Medicine is, at its core, about serving others, but this can feel impossible when we try to solve problems without a solid grounding in our core values and what we truly believe to be beneficial. Each person has an innate sense of wisdom that can help them work consciously, compassionately and authentically, but they often do not know how to access it. After all, the medical school curriculum does not cover how to recognize and draw upon these natural resources. However, skillful physician coaching can help physicians at any career stage discover their natural strengths and begin to work in alignment with these abilities and their inner wisdom.

Why Seek Physician Coaching?

Whether you work at a hospital or a small clinic, have just taken on your first job after residency or have run your own practice for years, physician coaching provides a confidential, structured space in which to gain insight into difficult questions, sort through doubts and discover new ideas and inspiration. 

By participating in experienced, thoughtful coaching, you can gain personal insight and develop tools and strategies that align with and support who you are. With this knowledge, you can grow as a wise, conscious medical professional and leader who responds authentically to the challenges that arise in your life.
