Gained confidence and crystallized the awareness required to coach effectively

Before I enrolled in the Physician Coaching Institute, I intuitively knew that Physicians and Health Care Professionals had a specific set of needs and challenges. As I worked through and completed the program, I gained the confidence and crystallized the awareness required to coach effectively in those spaces, and design coaching programs to provide support in those specialized areas.

After completing the training, I have a host of tools and skills to use in coaching

Before completing the Physician Coaching Institute training program, I had neither the skills nor the confidence to coach physicians in our academic medical center. I was also functioning as an advisor, giving suggestions and not coaching.  After completing the training, I have a host of tools and skills to use in coaching. Practicing these skills with my cohort helped me shift from advising to coaching, which is a powerful approach to supporting other physicians in their journey towards a more fulfilling career. 

Exceeded my expectations

Fantastic training. Very in-depth, with practical skill building. This really exceeded my expectations.

Truly excellent

I acknowledge the years of work and continual improvement that Francine and Amorah have put into making this course truly excellent.

Forever grateful, improved my physician coaching skills

I will be forever grateful to Francine and the Physician Coaching Institute. (I didn’t know what I didn’t know!) The Physician Coaching Institute not only improved my physician coaching skills, it taught me ways to improve the way I run my business.

Great course! Physician wellness a recurring theme

I appreciated how the topic of physician wellness came up as a recurring theme. I look forward to the 6-month course.

I have a renewed purpose in my life, and coaching skills to offer service to those over-worked, under-valued and under-acknowledged physicians

Before the PCI program, I was an underutilized, retired paediatrician with a desire to support former colleagues’ wellbeing in an increasingly pressurized workspace. However, I had no clear vision or pathway forward.

After completing the training, I have a renewed purpose in my life, and coaching skills to offer service to those over-worked, under-valued and under-acknowledged physicians.

Personally and professionally…very helpful

Personally and professionally I found this session very helpful.

I coach with much greater presence

Before I completed the Certified Physician Coach Development Program, my approach to coaching doctors was rather ad hoc, focusing heavily on each session and limited in scope. After completing the program, I feel like I coach with much greater expansivity and presence. I have learnt to apply a carefully considered and structured approach to every aspect of my coaching, from coaching program development right through to an articulated coaching philosophy. Collectively the cohort, along with course facilitators Francine and Amorah, stretched and supported me at every step. I’m grateful to have built an amazing network of like-minded friends and continue to draw on their strength and wisdom. I would absolutely recommend this program to any aspiring physician coaches.

Helped me to identify the common struggles and stressors that physicians encounter most in a career

I knew that I wanted to be of service to other physicians who were going through the same transitions I experienced in my career. I wasn’t sure about how to best serve those who were most like me, and I feel that the PCI program helped me to identify the common struggles and stressors that professionals tend to encounter most in a career.
After completing the program, I can tailor my coaching pathways for self-determined goals and outcomes that are desired by the physician client. Clients tend to see an improvement in both their professional careers and personal lives with coaching interventions. With much internal reflection about myself as a physician during the program, I learned so many things about why coaching should be a fundamental tool used in the infancy of a career to improve the life of every physician.

The PCI program far exceeded my expectations!

Before starting the program, I did not feel confident that I had the structure or focused processes that I needed to coach a variety of physicians and issues, despite the fact that I had a certification as a Mindfulness Coach and nearly 35 years in practice as a physician. The depth of experience, the thoroughness of the teaching, and the support and personal attention of the PCI staff was truly beyond what I had hoped for. The value that I received was far greater than the cost of the program. I feel empowered and excited to begin this new phase of my professional life.

All pertinent…to my leadership roles

All pertinent and enlightening to my leadership roles.

Provided structure around coaching, tools and methods for busy healthcare providers

Prior to starting Physician Coaching Institute, I had completed the required certification hours for coaching, but had done some coaching at my organization. I wanted to expand my offering to the physicians and other healthcare providers so I joined Physician Coaching Institute. It not only provided more insight to the world of physicians, it also provided structure around coaching, tools and methods that work for the busy healthcare providers. I highly recommend this program if you want to learn more about coaching physicians and healthcare providers.

Reinforced my desire to incorporate coaching in my career

Very Helpful! It reinforced my desire to incorporate coaching in my career after I retire from my current position.

Department burnout scores were lower than previous year

We found out …. that the department Burnout Scores were 46% lower (raw data) than they had been last year.
The Medical Director credits the Department Coaching as one of the main reasons for the decrease in the burnout scores!!!
She said she has seen behavioral changes and also because many of the staff cited the Coaching Program as the reason that they were less burned out!! Thanks for all your great teaching and coaching. And thanks for your extra effort during the initial outbreak of COVID.

Was worth every minute

Although the training was on the weekend, which was difficult, it was worth every minute.
Thank you and looking forward to the spring.
