The Benefits of Coaching
Over the last 5 years I’ve invested a significant amount of time and money into coaching.
The Pharma IndustryMDCoach was created during my participation in a women’s physician coaching program where I was first introduced to “coaching”. (Thank you Sunny Smith, MD and Empowering Women Physicians).
Coaching is where I learned that:
Our THOUGHTS
Create
Our FEELINGS
And those feelings
Create
Our ACTIONS
And our actions
Create
RESULTS
Since that first coaching experience, I’ve worked with other (amazing) physician coaches on topics including real estate investing, building a business and growing professionally and financially.
These professional and personal investments have led to (amongst other things):
- Building and growing The Pharma IndustryMDCoach, LLC
- Investing in (successful) Real Estate Syndications
- Taking a year off from my professional career as a Chief Medical Officer in biotech/pharma and actively deciding that it was time to go back to that role this year
- Spending a week in Thailand at a yoga/meditation retreat center (thank you Peter Kim and MomentumMD)
- Meeting inspiring and motivating physicians that are doing their own super cool things! (like creating conferences, building concierge medicine practices and creating courses)
- Attending Unleash the Power Within (Tony Robbins) and walking on fire
- Buying a short-term rental
- Attending an all-female physician retreat and learning (remembering) that I am “shiny” (thank you Dr. Jessie Mahoney of Pause and Presence); I still wear a beautiful turquoise bracelet from that retreat as a reminder
- Speaking opportunities at a number of conferences to share the potential for physicians to have fulfilling careers in pharma/biotech
- Creating a course to teach physicians about pharma/biotech careers
There are many other positive outcomes from coaching that are less tangible: my overall mindset about success and failure, gratitude practice, journaling.
I am vulnerably sharing and thanking my colleagues for their incredible impacts on my career and personal life. I’ve been able to help physicians because physicians have helped me.
Investing in yourself is one of the best ways to spend money and time.
I am a firm believer in this statement and I have the evidence to prove it.
Consider how you can invest in yourself in 2025!!
