our evidence-based approach.
Grounded in Research, Designed for Real Life
Unlike generic business coaching, our work is built on a foundation of rigorous research:
WHO-Backed Frameworks Our burnout prevention strategies are grounded in World Health Organization research on occupational burnout, adapted specifically for independent practice owners.
Original Qualitative Research We conducted in-depth interviews with 47+ independent practice owners to document the real challenges you face - challenges that are largely invisible in mainstream physician research. Read our White Paper: "Unlocking Potential"
CME-Approved Content Our content meets rigorous educational standards - her burnout prevention workshops have been approved for 3-4 CME credits through medical association partnerships. When partnering with associations that offer CME credentialing, members receive both practical strategies and continuing education credit.
Proven Results Our members and clients typically see ROI within 90 days, with an average 10X return on investment within 12-18 months, and 5-10 hours reclaimed per week. This isn't theory. It's evidence-based practice applied to the real-world challenges of running an independent healthcare practice.
Next founding cohort begins March 2026. Limited to 15 members. Apply by March 1.
