Executive and Clinician Coaching
Physician and Clinician Leadership Mentoring
Clinical expertise and organizational leadership draw on different skills. Accord helps clinicians build the communication, decision-making, and management practices their leadership responsibilities require.
The Problem Nobody Prepares You for
You were promoted because you were good at the work. The new job is not the work. It is budget, coverage, conflict, and persuading people who outrank you in seniority and outnumber you in opinion. Leadership responsibilities introduce new demands in budgeting, staffing, decision-making, and leading peers. Accord provides a private setting to strengthen those skills and prepare for consequential conversations.
What We Work on
Leading peers
authority you were given on paper and have to earn in practice.
Managing without control
influencing a service line you do not employ, a budget you do not hold, and conduct you cannot discipline.
Medical staff politics
committee structure, bylaws, and where decisions actually get made.
Protecting your practice
keeping clinical work alive while an administrative role expands to fill everything.
Who This Is for
Section chiefs, medical directors, department chairs, residency and fellowship program directors, lead advanced practice clinicians, and physicians on a CMO track.
Format
One-to-one mentoring, or a small cohort for institutions that want to develop several clinical leaders at once. Cohort engagements are contracted through Institutional Advisory. Learn more →
WHAT COACHING IS NOT
Coaching addresses professional performance, leadership, and career decisions. It is not psychotherapy, mental health treatment, or clinical care, and it is not a substitute for either. Accord Health Advisors does not provide clinical services. If our work together suggests that clinical support would help, we will say so and help you find it.
