PHYSICIAN COACHING
Physician Coaching Empowers Your Clinical Knowledge with Critical Leadership Skills
Don’t allow an increasingly complex healthcare system to strain your leadership skills or squelch your passion for your work. Grow your effectiveness as a physician leader through career management, change leadership, and resiliency.
Physician Coaching—Unique Support for Unique Challenges
Clinical practice doesn’t always prepare you for healthcare leadership.
When the director of Population Health failed to communicate in a way that resonated with the CEO, CMO, and CFO, her diabetes education program met rejection—even though it could accomplish the healthcare organization’s goals.
The CMO found it difficult to negotiate between the needs of his providers, staff, and partners. Working with patients hadn’t prepared him to navigate the political terrain of his administrative role.
These aren’t hypothetical scenarios. These are real clients of The Renegade Leader, and each client had the same struggle…
Both desired leadership skills comparable to their medical expertise.
Physician coaching helps bridge the gap between your clinical experience and your administrative responsibilities. With targeted and systematic training, you can find new freedom and purpose to meet your triple-aim objectives.
Whether you want to foster quicker decisions in an environment of extensive guidelines or improve your emotional intelligence as you deal with multiple stakeholders, physician coaching provides the training you need to successfully lead healthcare change management.
Who Physician Coaching Is For
Physician coaching meets the unique needs of healthcare leaders across a number of organizational roles. The Renegade Leader’s targeted training is particularly suited for the challenges of…
● CMOs looking to develop their emotional intelligence so they create collaboration to meet important objectives.
● Physician leaders who wish to build resilience so they minimize stress and experience a fulfilling career.
● Healthcare CEOs who want to lead their organizations strategically and create alignment between departments.
● Any vice president of medical affairs (VPMA) who wishes to gain traction for his or her vision with multiple stakeholders.
● Medical directors who want to overcome organizational gridlock so their organization experiences both horizontal and vertical creativity and innovation.
● Healthcare leaders who need CME credits for self-directed learning.
The 5-Step Physician Coaching Process
While The Renegade Leader customizes training for each client, all physician coaching engagements follow a 5-step process. Here is the format you can expect as you work toward your coaching objectives:
1. Assessment
Before gaining your tailored plan, you’ll take a series of assessments that provide a comprehensive view of your areas of strength and opportunities for growth. Assessments, such as DiSC, TKI, Change Intelligence, and CPI 260, combined with your values clarification, will give direction to your coaching plan.
2. Strategic Planning
At this point, The Renegade Leader will conduct a VIP Intensive Debriefing. During this session, you’ll evaluate the results of your assessments to create a tailored coaching plan. You’ll also establish your objectives for physician coaching. The Renegade Leader will benchmark your current leadership skills so you can measure your success and ROI in the future.
3. Building Leadership Capacity
For a six-month or 12-month time frame, you’ll grow your leadership abilities through a targeted, proven framework designed to help you reach specific goals. You’ll enjoy one-on-one coaching conducted over the phone or in person and VIP treatment with text, phone, and email support.
4. Delivering Change
For each training focus, you’ll use a 90-day planner to define your top three goals and develop actionable steps to meet them. As you implement your coaching, you’ll take steps to spark personal and organizational change.
5. Evaluating Results
At the end of your physician coaching, you’ll measure your success. After assessing your current leadership skills, you’ll be able to compare your current status against your initial benchmark to quantify the impact of physician coaching on your career.
