Coaching and Leadership Development for Healthcare Professionals
Coaching is a powerful tool for organizational success, ideal for physicians, nurses, and administrative leaders.
Why do healthcare professionals need coaching?
Unlike many CEOs, physicians and other healthcare leaders rarely have formal leadership training. The skill sets that make them effective in research or clinical roles are often not the same ones most needed to strategically lead a team or organization.
Physicians are accustomed to being the expert, less used to seeking input from others, building the alliances, and consensus skills necessary for effective teamwork and leadership. They may also have large gaps in non-clinical knowledge areas essential to their roles such as business practices or finance. Some may have gaps in confidence or be experiencing imposter syndrome.
Physicians are smart, eager for knowledge, and familiar with the model of being coached toward excellence: the model used in academic medical settings. We see coaching as a partnership. Coach and client engage in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.
Coaching has been shown to
Decrease Burnout
Increase Resiliency

Coaching of healthcare leaders is utilized by most major healthcare organizations including Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Harvard, Kaiser Permanente, and Stanford.
