Expert Overview

"Imagine a world where women physicians are encouraged and celebrated for their leadership roles."

Women physicians are increasingly called upon to lead change but frequently experience resistance. Why persist? Through leadership you gain influence – the ability to get more done with less conflict, serve more people, and motivate and inspire others to overcome challenges and reach their fullest potential.

Client and Business Focus

Women physicians involved in all types of health care, including hospital, private practice and insurance, C-suite, director, manager and team leadership levels are motivated to lead with more confidence. If you are a women physician dedicated to making an impact, you may be asking yourself:

• Why have I not already moved forward on a leadership path?
• How do I get started on a leadership path?
• Who am I as a leader?
• What strengths do I bring, and what areas would I need to develop?
• Where can I make the biggest difference?
