I was presented with the opportunity to take part in a professional coaching engagement by my department chair during a time when I was transitioning from a resident (in-training) physician to an attending (supervising) physician. At that time I was also taking on a management role within the department. Matrix Executive Coaching, particularly Dr. Chinnis, was an integral part of this transition. Not only did it help me solidify my strengths and identify and correct my weaknesses, but I learned techniques and tools for management that have proven invaluable in my professional activities. I would highly recommend this program to anyone in a professional transition or anyone who wishes to improve their management skills. Not only will this help me deal with the inevitable professional challenges that arrive, but I have the confidence and abilities to use my strengths to my advantage and prevent my weaknesses from holding me back.
