Coaching for Surgeons.

Surgeon career development coaching that helps you create a successful and meaningful career.

Professional coaching for surgeons

Surgeons face the same challenges as other doctors. Yet there are some specific areas particularly important for surgeons, including teamwork and team leadership, practical skills, low margin for errors, and high stakes outcomes. My surgical coaching programs helps surgeons develop leadership and interpersonal skills, proactively build resilience, and create successful and meaningful careers.

Surgeon career development coaching

My individualised approach ensures that I address the specific needs, challenges, and aspirations relevant to you. Through exercises and discussions I help you develop and reach your desired goals. My areas of expertise include surgeon leadership coaching, effective communication coaching for surgeons, coaching for surgical skills improvement, systems thinking, decision making, and surgeon well-being support.

Addressing surgical challenges head on

  • Lack of confidence.

  • Imposter syndrome.

  • Transitioning into seniority roles.

  • Building resilience for busy surgeons.

  • Reducing stress.

  • Reducing burnout for surgical residents / trainees.

We'll talk through some or all of the above areas, as well as how to balance work and personal life as a surgeon, or any other issues. Whatever challenges you face, I hope to help you with effective coaching for surgeons.

Made me realise that lots of people have these issues although we tend to assume they don’t – good emphasis on the fundamental issue of impostor syndrome.

There aren’t many consultant surgeon coaches out there. Anyone can ask coaching questions, however not everyone has years of experience in a field behind them.

Very useful to have an impartial party, who is “outside” of the situation. Useful to hear a different way of interpreting things.

Invest in your success

I understand that investing in your professional development is a decision that requires careful consideration. I believe that investing in yourself is an investment in your professional success and overall wellbeing. The overall cost of coaching depends on specific requirements, but typically it will be up to £1100 for six meetings lasting an hour each. Price depends on the seniority of the coachee.
