Why Coaching Is Medicine’s Missing LinkAnd How We’re Bringing It Forward
What happens when two coaches, both committed to moving medicine forward, sit down for a casual but meaningful chat? Insight. Alignment. And the kind of clarity that only comes from lived experience. That’s exactly what happened in a recent conversation I had with Jeff Cohn, MD; fellow coach, advocate of the Medicine Forward framework, and someone who, like me, believes the future of healthcare lies in empowering people, not just treating problems. We started off chatting about vacations, and how important it is to step away and recharge. Especially in this profession. Then the conversation naturally pivoted into purpose, and how coaching has emerged as a critical tool to help physicians not just survive, but thrive.
