What Is Physician Coaching?
Physician coaching is a co-creative development process used to drive awareness and accountability to accelerate improvement in leadership performance.
It is a partnership forged with physicians marked by trust, confidentiality and transparency to bring the best of them personally and professionally. Coaching is not residual work because someone is broken and not doing or behaving well.
Different from mentoring, the role of a coach is to ask questions that encourage and empower physicians to reflect, discover, and then act in ways that move them toward the agreed upon goal.

- Physician Performance Coaching – Some physicians find it difficult to deliver on expectations (clinically, operationally, or team leadership). We partner with the physician to help transform their performance. This is usually a three way agreement with their immediate supervisor.

We approach the partnership with empathy, curiously and in-person shadowing to maximize the coaching process.

What People Are Saying About HLI Coaching
If I were asked to pinpoint what activity has had the biggest impact on my growth as a leader, I would say coaching. The combination of actionable feedback with someone, like Mo Kasti, to guide the needed behavior change is what makes it so meaningful. Growth occurs outside the comfort zone when new information leads to new behaviors. This is so incredibly hard to do on our own – that is why so many of us struggle with weight loss.
We have to make a fundamental change in the way we live our lives. Coaching leads to breakthroughs in leadership behaviors that are extremely tough to do on our own. That is why I highly recommend coaching for physicians and physician leaders, and I highly recommend the Healthcare Leadership Institute for the best coaches in the industry.

President, St. Luke's ClinicMy leadership coaching experience was a true blessing. I was given wise advice, was asked tough questions and together explored possible options in dealing with very difficult situations in my professional life. This was a significant bonus to this excellent learning experience!
Dennis Alter, MD
AdventHealth FlaglerI have thoroughly enjoyed the presentations and activities during (our) leadership fellowship. However, none match my personal coaching when it comes to personal and professional motivation and a deeper understanding of the value that I bring to my facility and the organization as a whole. With my coaches help, I was able to look deeper inside myself and truly question my behavior and mental modals that can hinder or accelerate not only my career, but also the trajectory of my life. For these reasons, this has been an invaluable experience.
