We are called to be strong companions
and clear mirrors to one another…
We need the nourishing company of others
to create the circle needed for growth, freedom and healing.

Coaching Circles
(1:1 and small group coaching circles)
Nourishing spaces to connect,
cultivate insight and
illuminate meaningful paths forward
Coaching Circles were created to serve physicians and other clinicians, healthcare professionals and medical school students, both individually (in circles of 2) and in small groups.
As a physician myself, I have experienced many of the challenges of medical education and clinical practice. Our Coaching Circles are welcoming places where you can show up authentically and share your experience with a peer without the limitations of hierarchy, expectation and judgement.
We explore ways
to navigate the current healthcare landscape
in alignment with your values and aspirations
Different from teaching, advising or mentoring, open-ended questions and reflections provide the foundation for our coaching discussions. Many of the people with whom I have worked express that they are surprised by the ease with which insights emerge and new possibilities are discovered when working in this way.
Most importantly,
it is my hope to offer a space
for our work together
where you feel seen and heard and truly supported
The eye is the first circle
The horizon which it forms is the second

1:1 coaching (a circle of 2): please click here to schedule a coaching session
small group coaching (a circle of up to 6): please reach out if you would like to bring 4-6 people together for a small group coaching experience.
With group coaching, participants benefit from the collective energy, experience and support of the group. We often meet once every two weeks for a total of 6-8 sessions, but the frequency and number of sessions can be adjusted to best fit the focus of the group.

Testimonials:
Since I started coaching with Deb, I've found within me a sense of power and purpose. She has helped me trust my own voice and vision, find better balance and improve my relationships both professionally and personally. At work, I am flourishing. Coaching sessions with Deb gave me both the courage and the space to envision how I might enact real and lasting change. Coaching with Deb has truly been one of the most transformational experiences of my life.
I am writing to share my experience with executive coach Dr. Deb Roman. Over the course of the last several months, I have had the privilege to meet with Dr. Roman to discuss topics that I felt would help me further my personal and professional development. Each session I would come prepared with a theme, leadership attribute or scenario I wanted to explore. I can honestly say that over the course of these sessions, I have grown in my confidence as a leader.
In addition to confidence as a leader, we discussed organizational skills, how to handle a difficult employee, building executive presence, and what next steps I could take to prepare for my next promotion. The order of these topics is important. As you can see, I started off with a confidence issue, believing that I may not be as valuable as another leader or peer. Dr. Roman helped me to talk through this line of thinking. The progression in my confidence was impacted so much that by the last sessions, I felt like I was ready to plan for the next steps in my career.
It can be said that coaching is only as effective as the trust between the coach and the client. Dr. Roman was a perfect match for me. She is excellent.
In times of stress,
the best thing we can do for each other
is to listen with our ears and our hearts
and to be assured that our questions
are just as important as our answers.
