It applies to physicians as to any other professionals: 85% of your success is determined by the combination of interpersonal and self-management skills and only 15% by technical (i.e. clinical) skills. This doesn't mean that clinical training and education can be neglected but the best clinical skills cannot be truly leveraged without the appropriate interpersonal and self-management skills.
The Balanced Physician coaching and training programs don’t address the clinical topics physicians face but rather all the other issues and frustrations that come with being a successful and effective physician:
- Lack of work-life balance and possibly even approaching physician burnout
- Disruptive behavior or just a lack of emotional control
- Demotivated staff or uncooperative peers
- "Loneliness at the top" as a physician leader
- Successful integration / on-boarding at a new position
- Team or individual performance
Our programs are a fresh, enjoyable and effective way to develop and strengthen those executive “people” and life skills that medical school forgot – whether you are an overwhelmed physician struggling with career and life, or a successful physician who wants to stay on that path.
Whether you are a (a member of) larger healthcare organization or an individual, we offer our programs in a variety of services to support your development, effectiveness and results including:
Individual Coaching - is most effective for the busy physician and physician leader who wants to make progress in the shortest amount of time. For convenience, coaching sessions are conducted via the telephone, in person or skype video calls on a weekly / bi-weekly basis. Appointments are set for the same day and time of every week so you can book them into your schedule. The coaching is designed to help you re-order priorities, take time to assess your career and personal life, and then take action... despite the uncertainties that frequently accompanies change! The goal is to create a values-based action plan designed to take you in the direction you desire.
Team and Group Coaching - adapts coaching principles for the small group context. Coaching sessions are conducted by phone or in person for groups ranging from 3-10 members. Groups can be several physicians coming together and working on a similar goal or entire teams. Group coaching programs can also enhance the ROI of many learning initiatives by sustaining the learning cycle for your staff, ensuring that learning is transferred to the work place. Many of our training programs offer group coaching programs as a follow up option.
Medical Staff Retreats - can be critically important in helping you maintain a focus on quality and efficiency in your practice / organization. We offers customized programs so that all the participants from your organization will receive the maximum possible benefit. Brainstorming sessions, group exercises and keynote speeches are tailored to your specific vision and needs. Every activity is set up to engage and motivate while empowering them with critical skills and knowledge to be effective staff members and leaders.
Workshops, Medical Staff Meetings, CME Breakout Sessions, and Webinars - whether you organize a Grand Rounds topic at your hospital, a breakout session at an association meeting or a webinar for your medical staff, we offer a variety of topics in different lengths that address physicians' challenges and provide practical solutions.
Keynote Presentations - our 60-90 minute keynote presentations can be a great opener or closing presentation for your medical conference.
