Everyone Needs Resilience

The physicians and others I work with are happier, more efficient, and more satisfied with their careers and 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.

What is Physician Coaching / Physician Burnout Coaching?

Like coaching for athletes and executives, physician coaching is a powerful and thought-provoking way to help physicians achieve their professional goals and maximize their potential.

Dr. Gazelle combines the best evidence-based approaches in mindfulness, neuroscience, emotional intelligence, focus, and decision-making.

Her coaching encourages:

  • Stronger leadership
  • Increased efficiency and productivity
  • Improved brain function

  • Greater compassion for yourself and others
  • An overall sense of calm

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

Professional, career, and leadership coaching have a well-recognized presence in the business world and are moving into the healthcare arena. Physician leadership coaching helps you:

  • 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
