Executive Coaching
Do you have what it takes to transform your organization, lead a bold change initiative, or really push the envelope to challenge the status quo?
(and without sacrificing your integrity or jeopardizing your current position to get the results and success you feel in your gut is possible?)

Executive and Career Coach for Physicians
Dear Colleague,
I have coached and consulted with over 200 physicians in one-on-one coaching relationships, in group training, in seminars and off-site retreats. I think I know doctors pretty well.
When my physician leaders first come to me they often wonder if they are “alone” in their feelings of being “stuck,” frustrated, under-employed, under-valued, or unappreciated.
They may be feeling that way because they’re experiencing a career crisis brought on by toxic organizational dynamics, by the pace of change they are expected to drive (too fast OR too slow!), or by their growing restlessness with the “status quo.”
Interestingly several of my clients were at a crisis because they were at the pinnacle of their career (by an outsider’s view), but they need continued personal growth and challenges to feel fully alive and in their game.
What Kinds of Physicians Seek Coaching?
You may be wondering if you would benefit from my Executive Coaching Platinum Program for Physicians. Just to give you an idea of the kinds of doctors I have coached and consulted with over the years, here is a brief outline of common situations.
Physician leaders who feel their creativity, ingenuity, and potential are constrained and want to expand, develop or better tailor their position or career path so they can express their unique strengths
Physicians who truly love medicine and the opportunity to lead but are struggling to regain their enthusiasm and enjoyment leading in the midst of tumultuous change
Physician leaders who have been given feedback that their communication is “rough” and are coming to grips with the need to refine their approach if they want to get results
Physicians who are in a leadership position and are developing new people and business management skills for first time, and are unsure or whether they are being effective on the job
Physician leaders who are transitioning to a business or program development role and now have to think like an “entrepreneur” and “sales person” for the first time
Physician innovators who are developing new ways of solving healthcare challenges, but are stumped about how to sell their idea inside their organization or to third-party development partners.
Focusing on Your Strengths
Some of my clients initially ascribe their current situation to what they think are “weaknesses.” My approach is not to focus on weaknesses, but rather to uncover natural strengths and talents, craft or refine a strategy of approach, build up a success tool box, and encourage clients to step into their authentic personal power.
Using my proprietary and proven approach, the Physician Success Inquiry Method™, I take you from career chaos or professional crisis to the point where you are intellectually thriving—feeling immensely confident about yourself, your possibilities, and willing to push through the boundaries of what you thought was feasible. your natural strengths and talents (yes you have a lot of them!) and make these the engine behind your leadership and professional edge.
The Platinum Program
How does it work?
The Platinum Program is my most customized and comprehensive coaching program for physicians and starts with a 3-day face-to-face Client Strategy Meeting. In advance of this meeting you will complete several Personality, Values, Skills and Strengths Assessments. During the Client Strategy Meeting you will go through a process I developed specifically for physicians, the Physician Success Inquiry Method, from which I create your personal “Strategic Blueprint” designed to be a road map for your exploration, development and advancement. You will then move to an Implementation and Coaching phase over the next 6 months, during which we will work together by phone several times a month.If you are ready to commit to an accelerated development and transition program, you are invited to arrange an Introductory Meeting by phone to learn more about the Platinum Program and explore whether this is the best fit for you.

The Focused Mentoring Program
How does it work?
The Focused Mentoring Program is a short-term coaching program for those individuals who are at a crossroads in professional situation and need to make important decisions in the very near term. Physician leaders often chose the Focused Mentoring Program to address a strategic business or management issue, or perhaps a peer or employee conflict. The Focused Mentoring Program consists of two strategy coaching sessions plus review of appropriate client materials.
