What can a coach help you do?
Achieve Professional Empowerment
Feeling stalled or adrift in your career? Thinking of making a change? Coaching helps you take take control of your career, set meaningful personal goals, find your niche,1 and cultivate your professional identity.2
Get Promoted
Academic Educators receive little support for scholarship despite full-time commitment to serving the educational mission of academic medical centers. Coaching can help you develop your scholarship to realize your full potential.
Experience Psychological Safety
Ask yourself: How open can I really be with the same supervisor that makes my clinical schedule or determines my bonus? A coach from outside of your department allows you to engage in honest and open self-reflection without fear of repercussions from superiors.1
Fight Burnout
The positive psychology of coaching can significantly reduce burnout3,4 and help you recapture the satisfaction and fulfillment that drew you to career in medicine.
