Take Back Your Time: The Hidden ROI of Coaching
Let’s cut to the chase: You didn’t go into medicine to drown in paperwork, fight with insurance companies, or feel like a cog in a machine. This week, I’m sharing how coaching isn’t just about “feeling better”—it’s about tangible results, both financially and personally.
📖 From the Blog: “Physician Coaching: Financial Benefits and Personal Recovery Stories”
Let me ask you as simple question: "How much is your time worth?" In my latest post, I break down the real ROI of investing in coaching. Spoiler: It’s not just about avoiding burnout. One client I worked with cut her charting time by 30% (hello, reclaimed evenings!). Another negotiated protected time and a raise for taking on quality improvement work. Another client transitioned to part-time work without sacrificing his lifestyle by optimizing his schedule. The common demoniator: They recognized their work AND communicated it clearly. These stories prove that small shifts create big wins. Read the full post here.
"Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In that space is our power to choose a response."
- Viktor Frankl
Frankl’s words remind us: Even in a broken system, how we respond is where our power lives.
Coach's Corner
Goal: Identify one task to delegate or delete this week.
- List Your “Time Thieves”: Jot down 3-5 recurring tasks that drain you (e.g., prior auths, inbox triage, scheduling).
- Ask Brutally: “Does this require MY expertise, or could someone else do it 80% as well?”
- Take Action: For one task, either:
- Delegate: Email your team with a clear ask (“Can we trial having MA’s handle routine Rx renewals?”)
- Delete: Stop doing it for a week. See if anyone notices. (Spoiler: They rarely do.)
Remember, mastering your time isn't about doing more- it is about doing what matters most.
To thriving,
