The Benefits of Coaching
UpliftMD is about helping medical professionals become more fulfilled, resilient, confident, and joyful at home and office.
Through meaningful, in-depth conversations focused on curiosity and living the type of life you envisioned at the start of the journey, maximizing one’s true potential is now a vital career survival skill.
Doctors are used to having a plan... a clear path through medical school, residency, and then clinical practice. The early years are centered on building confidence and clinical skills and learning to manage expectations of patients, colleagues, and work system.
There’s not a lot of time to come up for air let alone ask any questions because you’re completely entrenched in it. Despite the inspiration and daily joys in medicine, the climate has recently shifted and finding joy in work takes more effort than it once did.
