The SteadyPhysician Process Is Highly Individualized 

In the SteadyPhysician’s coaching program for clients, I understand that many physicians are suffering due to various job-related challenges, ranging from dissatisfaction to burnout. These physicians feel unsettled in the present and fearful of the future, making it hard for them to navigate their professional and personal lives confidently. We believe that a steady physician has a firm foundation, a clear mind, and a steady hand in facing work challenges and building positive relationships.

As the creator of the coaching program, I see myself as a thought partner who can help you transition from a life situation that drains your energy, positivity, and passion to one that is fulfilling, satisfying, and meaningful. By gathering information and asking the right questions, I will guide you toward discovering your strengths, values, and goals, enabling you to move forward to the life you desire. This interrogatory approach is the driving force behind the coaching process.

The coaching process within the SteadyPhysician Program is personalized and organic, with no pre-determined syllabus. While some efforts are structured to gather information, most of our work is dynamic and tailored to what we learn along the way. I have developed a multidimensional model that encompasses four interdependent elements relevant to the physician coaching process:

1. In my coaching process, envisioning is a collaborative effort where I guide you in creating a vivid mental image of your desired outcome, providing you with the clarity you need as you design your path and strive toward your goals. Besides providing direction, a compelling vision can fuel your motivation, facilitate planning, and encourage resilience.
2. Another fundamental element of my coaching process is developing a thought partnership with you. This partnership is about me guiding you and engaging in mutual learning, exploration, and sharing. Your insights and experiences are valued and integral to our journey. As such, our work together involves the partnership of two experts: I, the expert in coaching, and you, the expert in your life. 
3. I liken inquiry to the “coaching engine” that powers the coaching process. Through thoughtful and provocative questions, I aim to ignite a spark within you, promoting thought, facilitating learning, and inspiring transformative change. Inquiry is a dynamic process. My questions lead to your answers, and your answers drive my questioning. 
4. Insofar as coaching is a journey, guardrails are integral in guiding you and shaping the path toward your destination. They help you to sustain focus and avoid detours and distractions that could hinder progress. Guardrails also promote accountability. We regularly review your actions and progress to drive the coaching process forward.

To assist clients in finding insight and skills necessary for satisfaction and fulfillment in their personal and professional lives, the SteadyPhysician Program offers a three-month program consisting of weekly 45-minute sessions. These sessions can be conducted via phone or video chat, with email access provided between sessions. Additionally, a post-session email outlining the main topics discussed in each session will be provided.
