Does ‘work-life balance’ seem unlikely as you juggle the competing demands of medical practice and family?

Physicians care deeply about their patients and practice. Most also want to be fully engaged in their lives as partners, parents and friends. Many days, doing all of this may seem impossible as the demands compete for your time and attention. You undoubtedly want to bring your whole self wherever you are. How can you do this…and enjoy the process?

Dr. Nance Goldstein, is a certified leadership coach and trainer. She partners with you so that you –

• Reduce feelings of burnout and unproductive stress

A Coach Who Knows What’s Happening in Healthcare

I bring you many years’ experience as a healthcare industry scholar. My work with you grows out of current medical research and best practices in leadership development. Because you too are a leader, finding your way through the uncertainties at work. I’m a member of Massachusetts American College of Healthcare Executives (ACHE) and on the Board of Boston Young Healthcare Professionals.

As an industry researcher, the National Science Foundation awarded her and her colleagues a grant and later commissioned her to research the changing environment of working in information technology (IT) and the changes in the location and nature of jobs and skills triggered by IT. As Resident Scholar at Brandeis Women’s Studies Research Center, my research now investigates the changing demands on leadership for managing hospitals and healthcare organizations to excel in the future. Leading oneself and others through uncertainty, complexity, innovation and change requires very different, surprising capabilities.
