Create a Productive Culture

If you are in a position to refer or provide support for a physician, our coaching will help them develop the essential skills to thrive in their role and boost productivity, motivation, and retention.

I have referred a number of colleagues to Jim Fickley over the years. With a background in counseling and extensive experience as an executive coach, Jim has a unique skill to rapidly establish trust and credibility that enhances a physician’s ability to gain improved self-awareness.  His techniques enable physicians to be more effective communicators and function more effectively as a health care team leader.

I would recommend reaching out to Jim at Attending the Physician if you are a physician looking to improve relational skills, ease stress and regain perspective or an administrative leader looking for a reliable place to refer their provider team. His expertise and support can make a significant difference.

Physician Coaching can help you address staff challenges.

The changes in healthcare are taking a toll on physician staff. Negative attitudes impact patients and non-physician staff. Low morale reduces efficiency and productivity and could even affect patient care.

  • leadership development
  • burn-out
  • onboarding
  • disruptive behaviors or
  • physician wellness

Our coaching is available in different formats – one-to-one, small group, or workshop – to help your staff perform at their best.

The Attending the Physician program offers confidentiality, a safe learning environment, and a productive approach to exploring issues vital to your organization’s success.

Jim is an executive coach that I have known for years.  I have referred numerous physicians and leaders to him over the years for a variety of reasons.  His expertise has helped leaders reach the next level of their careers. I have also seen Jim help physicians who are experiencing burnout, moral injury, and crisis in their careers.  He not only improves lives but saves lives and careers.  As a result of his partnership with these clinicians in distress I have seen them return to the bedside and their families in a refreshed state with renewed purpose and skills.”
