Leadership Development

True leadership success involves expert deployment of specific strategic and communication skills.

Professional Renewal

Many clinicians are finding that challenges which were once exciting have become too intense, prolonged or unrewarding, and as a result they have lost resiliency, motivation, and perhaps efficacy.  Relationships may be strained. A coach can help you regain perspective and find the right leverage points for change, so you can improve your morale and regain your belief in the value of what you do.

SUCCESS STORIES

    A successful surgeon was devastated by relationship loss and considered radically different directions.  Through reflection with her coach, she regained perspective and made the right personal and professional decisions for her.

  • Finding a better fit

Performance enhancement

All high-achieving individuals at times encounter challenges as their careers and work circumstances evolve. There may come a time when technical excellence is no longer enough, and new complementary skills (e.g. strategic planning, persuasive communication) may be necessary to continue to pursue excellence. A coach can help you identify and resolve barriers to full realization of your ambitions.

 

Or, you or your organization may want to improve your professional performance. There may be conflicts at work, or lags in productivity or timeliness. A coach can help you make changes to your work life and develop the self-management and interpersonal skills you will need to perform at your best.
