"About a year ago, I was becoming more self-aware that I was becoming burned out with my practice. Jeff made me become more aware of my negative thought patterns, and as a result I could change those into positive patterns."
"Since I started listening to (and working with) Jeff, I’ve been happier and more productive in my practice and personal life than ever before. I highly recommend Jeff to any physician who thinks they may be suffering from burnout."
The Coaching Process
SurgeonMasters Coaching Services bring out the best in each client, with a focus on improved performance and personal satisfaction. The SurgeonMasters coaching process consists of three primary stages:
Analysis: Coach and client begin by identifying the client’s goals.
Goal Setting: Coach and client develop plans of action.
