 This is for you if..
  • You identify as a physician coach: whether you are certified or a self-proclaimed coach using your expertise to support others

JOIN THE COLLECTIVE

This is for you if... 

  • You identify as a physician coach - whether you are board-certified, trained through a program, or a self-proclaimed coach using your lived expertise to support others.
  • You want a community that honors your whole self - not just the physician or the coach, but also the parent, partner, caregiver, and human being navigating real life.
  • You want business and strategy support that feels aligned - guidance that helps you grow your coaching practice without any “yucky” marketing tactics, so your work stays authentic and values-driven.
  • You are seeking support beyond business - a community where you can bring your challenges, doubts, and hopes, and be met with compassion, understanding, and encouragement as a whole human.
  • You long for intellectual rigor - conversations that challenge you, stretch you, and respect the part of you that values evidence, depth, and growth.
  • You crave belonging - a community of colleagues who understand what it’s like to carry the weight of responsibility, whether as the sole financial provider, a leader in medicine, or a coach walking alongside others.
  • You value transparency and real talk - a safe space where honest dialogue is encouraged, and you don’t have to perform or pretend.
  • You are ready to step fully into your role as a coach while still being supported as a physician, a professional, and a human being who deserves rest, joy, and fulfillment.

What You’ll Gain

  • Professional Development – Learn the skills to grow as a coach and a physician leader.
  • Personal Development – Build the inner foundation to sustain a coaching practice with joy.
  • Mentorship – Receive guidance from experienced physician coaches who know the journey.
  • Community – A trusted circle of peers who understand your context and aspirations.
  • Transparency – Real conversations without pretense or hierarchy.
  • Visibility – Access to our Physician Coach Directory, distributed to hospital departments.

 

What We Do

Each month, you'll meet three times with a highly trained and experienced physician coach, ensuring you always have guidance, accountability, and growth opportunities. 

Across these sessions, you’ll experience a rhythm designed to strengthen every part of your coaching journey, including:

 

  • Applied Coaching Workshop – A hands-on space to practice real coaching conversations, experiment with new techniques, and receive structured feedback. This is where you will step into the coach’s seat and the client’s seat sharpen your skills, build confidence, and continue growing into the coach you want to be.

 

  • Professional Development Session – Go beyond theory. Explore practical frameworks, evidence-based tools, and other effective strategies to expand your effectiveness as a coach and deepen your impact.

 

  • Business & Strategy Sessions – Gain clarity and confidence in building your practice with aligned, authentic approaches (no “yucky” marketing tactics), so your business grows in a way that feels true to you.

 

  • Community & Mentorship Call – Gather with colleagues who understand your world. Share challenges, celebrate wins, and learn from the collective wisdom of a supportive physician coaching community so you never feel like you’re coaching—or living—on an island.

 

This rhythm supports both your professional mastery and personal fulfillment, helping you refine your coaching, expand your perspective, and stay rooted in a community that accelerates your growth.

Self Mastery

Sharpen your skills in a supportive community that values both excellence and compassion.

True mastery is more than skill, it’s how you grow with compassion for yourself and others. In a supportive environment, you’ll practice coaching, receive feedback, and expand your expertise. Our monthly rhythm of workshops, development, and mentorship gives you space to sharpen your skills while also building the confidence and compassion you need to lead authentically.

Growth

Growth that brings both personal fulfillment and professional success.

We find deep fulfillment in growing—both as coaches and as human beings. With three intentional touchpoints each month—practice, development, and mentorship—you’ll accelerate your business and coaching journey while also stepping into a better, more authentic version of yourself. Growth here isn’t just about doing more, it’s about becoming more.

Leverage

Create momentum and balance to scale your impact with ease.

Consistency creates momentum, and momentum creates ease. Through our structured monthly calls, you’ll not only maximize your time and compound your learning, but also create space and balance in your life. With the right structures in place, you gain leverage—allowing you to scale your impact as a physician coach while still honoring what matters most to you.

 

Why Join Us?

  • Because as physicians, we thrive in spaces that combine support with rigor - where compassion meets high standards, and where your growth is both nurtured and challenged.
  • Because you are worthy of a community that sees all of you: physician, coach, parent, partner, leader, and human being.
  • Because your growth accelerates when you are surrounded by colleagues who are honest, transparent, and intentional in both their practice and their lives.
  • Because coaching can feel isolating - and you deserve a community of peers who truly understand both the physician and the coach in you.
