1:1 Coaching Circles
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.

Why Physician Coaching Circles?
A significant and increasing number of physicians nationwide are experiencing a lessened sense of well-being and decreased enthusiasm for professional work, largely in response to significant organizational and system level changes in healthcare. The pandemic amplified the issues that are contributing to this critical decline in the health of our physician community.
It is imperative to address the system level issues that are contributing to this crisis. It is equally important to provide physicians with opportunities to meet in community with other physicians who experience similar challenges and explore ways to move forward with support, clarity and a sense of meaning.
What are Physician Coaching Circles?
Nourishing spaces to connect,
cultivate insight and
discover meaningful paths forward
Our Physician Coaching Circles are opportunities to come together with peers to explore issues that are unique to physicians. Participating physicians choose topics that are relevant and meaningful to them. Active listening and reflective inquiry provide a flexible and dynamic foundation for insight and movement forward.
You can choose to work individually with me (in a circle of 2 ) or in a small group of up to 6 physicians or both! In group coaching, physicians benefit from the collective energy, experience and support of the group. Please click here to learn more about our small group coaching circles.

Research:
In a 2019 study published in JAMA Internal Medicine, Mayo Clinic researchers reported that physicians who engaged in professional coaching focused on professional goal setting, work choices, professional relationships, and influencing change at work, experienced:
a significant reduction in emotional exhaustion
overall symptoms of burnout
improvements in overall quality of life
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.

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.
