Family physician and certified executive leadership coach Lisa Herbert discusses her article, "From burnout to breakthrough: How a coaching culture transforms health care." Lisa shares her personal journey with physician burnout, a crisis affecting 54 percent of physicians, and how discovering coaching revolutionized her approach to leadership and her career. She explains that a coaching culture, which emphasizes curiosity, continuous growth, and collaborative problem-solving over traditional command-and-control management, is a powerful antidote to burnout. Lisa outlines a roadmap for physician leaders to build this culture, starting with self-awareness, mastering fundamental coaching skills, and institutionalizing coaching practices. The conversation highlights the ripple effect of coaching, extending beyond physician well-being to improve patient interactions, medical training, and even personal relationships, ultimately benefiting health care organizations through better retention and patient experience. Physician leaders are encouraged to explore coaching, while executives should assess how organizational systems can support this transformative shift.
