for me your success is personal

Hi, I'm Dr. Lisa, Founder and CEO of The Institute for Corporate Coaching

As a seasoned executive leadership coach, I understand the challenges physicians and healthcare professionals face when navigating the complexities of healthcare systems.

I help build sustainable health systems where everyone feels valued, physicians stay and grow into leaders and patient outcomes improve.

With over two decades of experience spanning clinical care, healthcare leadership, and executive coaching, I have firsthand knowledge of the disconnect between the medical and business aspects of healthcare.

That's why I started the Institute for Corporate Coaching. By training healthcare professionals to gain the tools to better understand their organization's culture, lead effectively, and build relationships that drive positive change, together, we’ll address the root causes of physician burnout, and transform them into opportunities for growth and collaboration.

Our programs teach you the coaching skills you need to improve your own development but also to empower others and drive change within health systems.
