The Optimistic Doc - Individual Coaching Services

Prepared to Lead

Whether it is finding your feet with a first project  or a senior regional executive leadership position, The Optimistic Doc can help you plan your leadership education, set your priorities, manage your time, develop and motivate your team, all the while maintaining your health and enthusiasm.

Advocacy, Constructive Engagement and Conflict 

Is your passion in advocacy is leading to conflict, rather than change, or do you have to work with ​people who perhaps are more practiced in argument than negotiation? Coaching can support you in applying evidence based approaches to engagement and constructive conversations. 

Where conflict has become established, coaching one or more parties to the conflict can support analysis and insight of the determinants and triggers, and enable to development of new options to resolution 

Work Life Balance 
and
​Career Change Coaching

Healthcare is full of skilled and passionate people whose daily work is a vocation that contributes huge meaning to their lives.  But sometimes, external factors like family, age, conflicting priorities, changing practice needs or health challenges mean it is time to let something go and try something different.  A significant proportion of physicians and other healthcare providers also experience points in their lives when manifestations of burnout (physical/emotional exhaustion, cynicism or depersonalization, loss of sense off accomplishment and meaning in work) create the need to examine personal choices and find ways of changing the work environment.

Whether it is minor practice change or retirement, The Optimistic Doc can help with both the practical aspects of career change and finding meaning and significance in a new life stage.
