Welcome

Ellen Friedman Healthcare Coaching

Stress, conflict and exhaustion are not required when working as a healthcare provider. I provide individual and small group coaching that promotes sustainable change in people and organizations.

EXECUTIVE COACHING

For leaders and staff

Physicians, nurses, and other health care workers value their time and investment with me. Clients deeply appreciate their improved relationships, their shifted experience of stress and their new understanding of peace of mind.

Success stories...

  • One client was frequently reprimanded at work for his outbursts.  His anger caused physical damage to his home.   He carried so much irritability that he drove much of the time with road rage.  A year following the end of our coaching, he messaged me the following:

    “I wanted to give you an update and thank you.  I have been given the maximum annual raise at work directly related to my improved temperament.  And today, I was told I need to train new hires because of ‘my soft touch’.” 

    His spouse called to say that his coaching with me “saved their marriage.” That is an example of lasting change.

  • Here is one testimonial from a physician leader.

    “The executive coaching sessions exceeded all of my expectations! It has made a tremendous difference every day that I’m at work. I have learned new skills to better communicate with my patients and my co-workers and have really experienced more joy and peace during the work day. This has also extended into a much more peaceful and less chaotic family life, too. All the stress that I used to experience and then carry back home with me is now better managed.  I don’t let those situations affect the rest of my day.”
