Physician Coaching Success Stories
“I valued talking to a trained coach and fellow surgeon and getting advice and input about balancing work and personal life, career development, and other specific issues that come up. What I value the most is I feel it is a ‘safe space’ to talk about these things with an unbiased outside person with similar experiences.”
Confidential Testimonial
General Surgeon
“No one tells you how to run a practice, let alone how to start a program from scratch without any senior guidance. Having a sounding board for how to grow your practice is invaluable. I think that it helped me realize some of the personal goals and personal vision that I’ve had for myself as a surgeon. That work isn’t done, but I truly believe I am further along than if I hadn’t enlisted a coach.”
