Every physician is a leader in his or her own field. From corporations large and small, to competitive athletics, to medicine, coaching is frequently used to assist individuals reach their peak professional performance and improve their overall well-being. There is overwhelming data to support the positive outcomes of coaching. Our Executive Physician Coaching program stands out for its personalized approach, tailored specifically for physicians seeking to excel in leadership roles and in their personal lives.

Coaching is an ongoing relationship between the professional coach and the client, which focuses on the client taking action toward the realization of their vision, goals or desires. Coaching uses a process of inquiry and personal discovery to build the client's level of awareness and responsibility and provides the client with structure, support and feedback.

Coaching is distinct from psychotherapy. Most coaches engage with generally well-functioning individuals. Coaches are helping people succeed with their most important goals - not treating mental disorders. A professional coach is a "thought-partner" who helps his or her client shine a spotlight on their thinking to help make better decisions.

Medicine is a life of service, dedication to others and self-sacrifice. Stress and day-to-day clinical practice can take a toll on your physical and emotional well-being. It is easy for burnout to set in. The U.S. Surgeon General is calling attention to physician burnout. 65% of physicians in the United States are experiencing burnout symptoms and are at risk for leaving clinical medicine. Good timely self-care will help you manage stress, focus better, and improve your overall mood. If you are experiencing symptoms of a burnout (exhaustion, depersonalization, lack of efficacy), then it is time to get executive coaching before it is too late!
