Who is supporting your best practice?

Are the long hours, lack of support, and pressure of taking care of patients preventing you from reaching your personal and professional goals? You’re not the only one feeling this. Surgeon coaching offers a way to process your thoughts and make lasting changes to feel satisfied in your career and personal life.

"I had a fantastic time with Jeff Smith. It was a very helpful set of coaching sessions that really took me to the next level. He is an excellent surgeon coach and someone who genuinely cares about his clients well-being and professional pursuits."

Ashok Venkataraman, MD, FACS

Cardiothoracic Surgeon

Our coaches specialize in understanding surgeons—because we’re surgeons too. Our profession is unique, and surgeons have complex needs and struggles. What makes our coaching effective is we’ve experienced the same stress and conflicts that arise with balancing work and personal life and career development.

This is different from signing surgeons up for resilience training or seminars. Our coaching programs are designed to create a level playing field where ideas, feelings, and solutions can flow.

Benefits of Surgeon Coaching

"I appreciate having (safe) space and time to attend to my needs, thoughts, and reactions relating to the myriad challenges that face us on a daily basis. I appreciate having a sounding board who can challenge me to develop my thoughts and hone my reactions into responses. Coaching holds me accountable to attend to myself. It has helped to push me to what I hope will ultimately be a better place of self judgment or assessment." - Anonymous Surgeon

Benefits of Surgeon Coaching

"I think it goes back to why I signed up in the first place. 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 also think that my coach has 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. Sometimes it's also great to hear that what you're going through is normal. Medicine can be very isolating." - Anonymous Surgeon

Benefits of Surgeon Coaching

"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." - Anonymous Surgeon
