Mantra:

B Free to get back to Medicine by mastering the art of managing our differences

I am a passionate physician who has worked tirelessly on the front lines caring for patients since 2000. Throughout my career, I have seen changes that have degraded physician autonomy and have negatively impacted our outlook. Health system culture changes and operational pressures have forced physicians to alter how they are practicing medicine, ultimately impacting our ability to focus on patient care. I have concerns regarding the sustainability of the profession and want to help.

Having been through conflict myself in my medical career, I have experienced too many situations in which little attention was paid to consistency and process. A lack of process and transparency can lead to the perception of unsatisfactory outcomes for many practitioners when facing conflict. Seeing this lack of process firsthand drove me into leadership, hoping to impact change and to support physicians facing issues in their practices.

The formal leadership journey that I embarked upon started in 2014 and ended up in my leading a team of 350 physicians through Covid pandemic. During the Covid pandemic, it became apparent that conflict for practitioners and their teams was at an all-time high, and little resource was available to support these physicians. Physicians were losing sleep, sacrificing personal relationships, and removing themselves from their workplaces due to a lack of capacity to achieve satisfactory resolution to conflict. I spent 100s of hours coaching colleagues and teams during this time, but still saw a lack of process in the system to deal with physicians’ issues.

It was clear to me in my coaching that physicians are not trained to handle conflict, leadership, or equity and inclusion. I undertook over 2 years of intense education in these areas to become a respected advocate and teacher in these areas. As society entered summer 2022, and the new generation of the pandemic met us, I made a goal to ensure that practitioners have the skills to create professional success out of conflict. These skills can support practitioners to love their careers once again by freeing time to focus on the field of medicine that they strove so hard to enter. This is my calling, and I want to share the skills and process that can also lead you to productive conflict in your life.

Elizabeth Pedersen

MD, FRCS(C), CCE, ACC

Geographic Location: Edmonton, Alberta

Certification/Years as a coach: CCE, ACC with 5 years experience

Phone number and/or email: melizabethpedersen@gmail.com (preferred), 780 863-8524

Website: accessvita.com

Expertise: EQ2.0 and EQ360 certified, LEADS Canada Coach certified

Mantra:

I believe that physicians are often thrust into leadership positions without any leadership training and coaching is a powerful way to help them navigate their roles, learning needs, and the stressors that are related not only to a career in medicine but also leadership positions within healthcare.

As both a surgeon and an executive coach, Beth can relate to the unique working environment of medical professionals and leaders. Beth understands the satisfaction and privilege of patient care as well as the stress of working with limited resources; the challenges of time management and work-life balance; and how fragile confidence can feel and yet how decisive physicians and leaders need to be. Beth has used her own coach to work through leadership challenges, burnout, building effective teams and knows the power of coaching!

Beth trained as a coach to help physicians and medical professionals identify the clutter in their lives and make room for what counts. She helps physicians interested in leadership to manage work so it doesn’t take over life, to mitigate feelings of overwhelm, to overcome burnout, to move into and out of leadership roles, to find the confidence within themselves to be the best leaders and physicians they can be, and to achieve work-life balance.

Coaching will help you to realign your work and personal life with your values and your own needs. This will make you a better physician and medical leader as well as happier in your personal life. I am motivated to improve patient care by empowering medical professionals to have a better working environment as well as work-life balance.

Beth trained in Toronto and Calgary to become an orthopaedic surgeon and practicse as an adult and paediatric foot and ankle surgeon in Edmonton. Beth studied coaching at Royal Roads University and completed her ICF certification (ACC). She has deepened her understanding of emotional intelligence through EQ certification, and leadership training through LEADS Canada coach certification. Although busy with clinical practice and coaching, she maintains her own wellness by spending time with her family, reading, riding her bike, walking her dogs, and cooking with her husband.

Wendy Pentland

BSc(OT) MEd PhD PCC

As an ICF certified Professional Coach (PCC) Wendy has provided life and executive coaching services since 2004 to over 600 individuals including professionals, academics and executives internationally in both the public and private sectors. A particular focus has been coaching physicians.

Geographic Location: Kingston, Ontario (services are offered in-person and nationally/internationally via telephone/Skype/Zoom)

Certification/Years as a coach: Professional Certified Coach (PCC) through the International Coach Federation (ICF). 18 years coaching experience.

Phone number and/or email: Inquiries are welcome by phone (613-542-8998) or email wendypentland@gmail.com

Website: www.wendypentland.com LinkedIn – Wendy Pentland

Expertise: Coaching physicians in areas including:

Enhancing communication, professionalism and collaboration competencies.
Leadership.
Transitions (personal and professional).
Health and well-being.
Coaching physicians who have been advised or required by a third party (e.g. regulatory body, professional association, hospital, academic medical organization, legal counsel) to engage in coaching to improve communication, professional behaviours, collaboration skills, self-management and/or interpersonal skills.

Mantra:

“Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom” – Victor Frankl

Wendy completed coaching training in 2004 through the Adler School of Professional Coaching (Toronto) and previously obtained occupational therapy and graduate degrees in Canada and Australia. She maintains ongoing certification with the International Coach Federation (ICF) and draws on additional trainings including Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction (MBSR) with Jon Kabat-Zinn, Mind-Body Centred Somatic coaching, Narrative Coaching, Retirement Coaching certification, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and am a LEADS Certified Coach with LEADS Canada/Canadian College of Health Leaders.

Wendy brings to coaching over 35 years of experience in healthcare and academia; as an occupational therapy clinician in Ontario, British Columbia and Australia, health care administrator, tenured university professor, researcher on the relationships between time use, health and well-being and consultant. She has taught, mentored in, presented and published about coaching internationally.

Wendy’s coaching approach is grounded in the belief that people are motivated primarily by two desires: to fulfill their own potential and to make a meaningful contribution to the world; to make a difference. People frequently have difficulty fulfilling these desires because we govern ourselves with beliefs and fictions that hold us back and blind us to what may be greater possibilities.

Wendy has coached physicians on a variety of issues including career transitions, leadership development, managing interpersonal workplace conflict, transitioning through mid-life as well as into retirement, completing book manuscripts, time management, stress reduction, work-life balance, setting and achieving strategic goals, and managing professional and personal relationships. She enjoys and has coached many physician clients who have been advised or mandated by a third party to engage a professional coach to address communication, interpersonal and/or professional conduct issues.

We know that the paperwork and the administration burden contribute to Physician dissatisfaction and burnout.
