Don’t Just Take My Word For It.
Develop genuine well-being and the mindset to thrive, even amid the competing demands and stresses of a physician’s life - all from the convenience and privacy of your home or office.
Here’s what other physicians have said about working together:
“I had never tried professional coaching before, however as a new physician faculty member at a large academic institution, trying to find my footing... working with Pierre was an important factor in my success.”
“Coaching sessions with Pierre have provided clarity about what I have in my life, a bigger vision of what is possible, and tangible steps that I can take to be my best self. I have gotten a tremendous return on time and commitment.”
“Pierre’s style has allowed me to approach my mindset from an open, nonjudgmental perspective. Honoring my emotions and fears has been key to adjusting my mindset.”
“Through our work together, I learned more about myself, how I see the world, and new approaches that have made me more effective in my roles, both professionally and personally.”
