The Benefits of Hiring a Non-Physician Coach

I am not a doctor. That is your expertise.

I am not one of you. But I as a former spouse of a physician, I created the home so many of you try to return to each night.

I know first-hand the costs of your commitment and the glory of being a doctor.

I have lived with the struggles of physicians as you try to find your way home, back to your loved ones at the end of each day.

I am not consultant; I’m not going to advise you on your career.

Nor is coaching a support group.

I listen deeply. But coaching is not an echo-chamber.

While you were busy studying and practicing medicine, I have been studying how to live consciously, fully.

I have studied fulfillment.

I will help guide through life’s messy paths, into the world outside of your training.

You know what goes on within the hospital and clinic walls. I’ll help you find meaning outside of that world.

I know your world intimately, but I won’t get lost in the minutia of your day.

I enter your world with you as my guide.

You show me around the joys and frustrations of your day.

I’ll show you around your life’s biggest possibilities.

I’ll be your champion.

This is your journey. No one else’s. It is likely far bigger than you can yet see.

A non-physician coach can see beyond the world of medicine.
