Everyone Needs Resilience
The physicians and others I work with are happier, more efficient, and more satisfied with their careers and lives. I help them to develop a growth mindset, emotional intelligence, and mindfulness, so that they see their strengths, and abandon imposter beliefs. They build resilience and thrive despite the stressors of life.

Over the last decade I’ve had the pleasure of coaching over 500 healthcare and physician leaders, and they’ve gone on to achieve immense satisfaction, pride, and joy in both their professional and personal lives.

Building Resilience
Resilience is something that we all have within us. If 2020 has shown us anything, it’s how important it is to adapt to the difficulties we encounter and remain calm and steady so we can achieve whatever goals we may have. Resilience is more than getting through, it’s about thriving, being at our best, getting knocked down and standing up ten times stronger.

Prevent Physician Burnout Overview
Physician burnout is a long-term stress reaction to the demands of the modern healthcare environment. Long hours, the EMR, the emotional intensity of practice, and decreased time with each patient can lead physicians to become emotionally exhausted and lose their sense of personal achievement.
Physician burnout is on the rise with multiple studies revealing rates of 40-60% in almost every specialty.
I coach physicians one on one and through physician burnout coaching to help physicians build resilience and live the lives they’ve only dreamed of.
Physician Leaders Executive Coaching

- Improve time and meeting management skills
- Develop greater comfort with conflict
- Be a more effective team leader and build team engagement
- Develop your authentic leadership style
- Maintain clarity in emotionally charged situations
