Practice support for the 21st century
Beyond Practice Management emerged to fill the need for a different kind of practice development support for healthcare providers and their teams. While conventional practice management has served many practitioners well, the nature of these services has not really changed much over the past three decades.
Most programs and services continue to focus on the externals and on preserving the past — getting staff and patients to behave in certain ways, managing by statistics with a too-narrow focus on numbers, the doctor being a technician and/or charismatic personality, and practicing by formula, scripts, and outmoded tactics.
Healthcare, however, has changed. The practitioners who will succeed in the new environment will be those who recognize that sustainable practice growth comes from managing and leading in a different way — from within, and with new personal and professional skills. The domain of Beyond Practice Management involves professional development, self-management, genuine leadership, and personal accountability.
Catalyst for powerful change
After a satisfying and diverse career in healthcare, education, and consulting, I now work exclusively with healthcare providers who are interested in accelerating practice and personal growth. With an abiding passion and commitment to making a difference in people's lives, I support practitioners in renewing purpose and achieving goals by moving beyond self-limiting beliefs and outdated management strategies.
Commitment To Your Success
It is my joy to engage clients in learning skills, rediscovering purpose, and moving beyond present constraints to contribution and service to their communities. As a coach, I will challenge your limiting ideas, beliefs, assumptions and interpretations, while nurturing your seeds of creativity, greatness, and unrealized potential.
Bringing together the best practices from multiples disciplines, I offer my clients innovative perspectives and practical strategies from cutting-edge business psychology, change management methods, systems thinking, leadership and team building, and communication skills for interpersonal effectiveness. These offerings are based on my professional experience and sincere understanding of what patients need to feel cared for and to trust their provider, what staff needs to be part of an effective team, and what practitioners can do to achieve clinical and business success. My goal is to work in partnership with my clients at a deep level, in a way that inspires them with a sense of self-reliance, determination, and renewal of purpose.
In addition to my formal education and extensive career experience, I earned my professional coaching certification at the Hudson Institute of Santa Barbara and am certified, as well, by the International Coach Federation (ICF). I have taken advanced training in the teacher certification program for Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction through The Center for Mindfulness in Medicine, Health Care, and Society at the University of Massachusetts Medical School, participated in Dialogos' Leadership for Collective Intelligence (an intensive ten-month professional development program designed for cultivating high standards in leadership, creating innovative system design, and facilitating dialogue and deep change in organizations), and became certified to use the emotional intelligence tool, EQ In-Action, for assessment profiles of individuals and teams.
As I explore new paths of learning, I translate my experience and pass along key insights to my clients. Having both depth of knowledge and keen intuition about how people learn, I support and challenge my clients to become lifelong learners themselves. My work is built on respect for others, professional integrity, clarity of thought, and keeping an open heart and mind.
