Professional coaching services
Certified by The Fowler International Academy of Professional Coaching
As a "burnout survivor", I specialize in serving medical and other professionals who are wrestling with feeling disconnected, overtired, and under-appreciated in the impersonal, corporatized world. I also work with clients before they become so frustrated that they are tearing out their hair, and help them to become more engaged and excited about their careers.
Coaching is a forward looking process. I start from where you are right now, independent of how you got here, and by helping you discover your own dreams, strengths, and resources, together we plan how you can achieve what you want to be. My goal is for you to feel impassioned about your life on a daily basis.
What is coaching?
"Coaching is the process of partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential."
-International Coach Federation
What will you get from coaching?
During our coaching sessions, you will identify which aspects of medicine (or your other professional work) used to excite you and make you look forward to showing up every day. Then we will evaluate how you can work those things back into your life. Together we will also identify how the other forces in your life contribute as sources of comfort and satisfaction or as frustration and stressors, and find ways to improve the support you receive from these other directions.
Why have a coach?
The corporate world is here to stay. Learning to juggle the satisfaction of your soul with the satisfaction of your contract is essential to keeping you engaged and motivated, and increases not only your general happiness but your ability to succeed in that corporate world. The Fowler Coaching System is a method fine-tuned to discovering where your heart is, and what your ideal life would look like. Then we develop actionable steps for you to manifest that vision.
The most successful people in the world, including Eric Schmidt and Bill Gates, recommend: "Everyone needs a coach."
Individual and Group sessions available, set up on ZOOM video, so you never have to leave your home.
Being in a group gives the added advantage of sharing the energy and experiences of the other members. You will meet like-minded people from all over the country.
Please call or email for a free 20 minute consultation to decide if coaching would benefit you.
