  • Life Changing Moments – Why Physicians Seek Coaching (And Why They Don't)

    Life Changing Moments – Why Physicians Seek Coaching (And Why They Don't)
    Mar 9 2026

    Welcome to the evolution of Life Changing Moments! In this debut videocast episode, host Dr. Dael Waxman is joined by his colleague and fellow physician coach at MD Coaches, Dr. Murnal Shah, for a foundational conversation about physician coaching.

    Together, they explore the nuanced landscape of coaching in medicine—why physicians seek it, what holds them back, and how coaching differs from counseling, advising, or simply "getting help." Drawing on decades of combined experience working with physicians at all career stages, Dale and Murnal unpack the myths, misconceptions, and transformative potential of coaching. From the newly minted resident questioning their path to the seasoned leader stepping into a C-suite role, they make a compelling case for investing in oneself—not out of crisis, but out of a commitment to growth.

    Key Topics Discussed:

    • The wide spectrum of reasons physicians seek coaching: from leadership transitions to burnout and disillusionment.

    • What "remedial coaching" really looks like—and why fear and anger are often at the root of perceived unprofessionalism.

    • The critical distinction between coaching (future-focused, action-oriented) and counseling (past-focused, healing-oriented).

    • Why physicians are conditioned to neglect self-investment and how the "hero mindset" of training creates barriers.

    • The evidence for coaching: improved communication, retention, and reduced burnout.

    • Why high-performing physicians seek coaching—and why being "right" isn't the same as being effective.

    • The power of curiosity over advice-giving: coaching as a thought partnership where the answers reside within the client.

    • Practical encouragement for anyone hesitating: let that hesitation be the driver to learn more.

  • Life Changing Moments 68 - Coaching and Mentoring, with Charles Lowry

    Life Changing Moments 68 - Coaching and Mentoring, with Charles Lowry
    Feb 16 2026
    Residency is one of the most profound life-changing seasons in a physician's journey—a time of rapid growth, deep uncertainty, and one of the biggest decisions of all: what comes next. In this unique collaborative episode, host Dr. Dael Waxman is joined by Charles Lowry, Director of Graduate Medical Education Relations at PracticeLink and host of the Surviving and Thriving in Residency podcast. Rather than a traditional interview, Dr. Waxman and Charlie engage in a shared conversation about the critical inflection points they've witnessed in medical students and residents. They explore the hidden struggles beneath the confident exterior—the loneliness, the imposter syndrome, the career uncertainty—and the powerful role that connection, validation, and intentional support can play. Together, they uncover how coaching and career resources can help residents move from survival mode to intentional choice, and why finding your "people" is essential for a sustainable, fulfilling career in medicine. Key Topics Discussed: Charlie's journey from statewide campus director for medical students to his current role supporting residents nationwide. The vulnerability and openness residents show when given a safe, non-evaluative space to share their struggles. The hidden stressors of residency: loneliness, lack of family support, and the challenge of being an international medical graduate. How PracticeLink serves as a free, comprehensive career resource for residents, from CV reviews to scholarships. The role of coaching in addressing imposter syndrome, leadership challenges, and the transition from training to practice. Why career uncertainty is a major driver of stress and well-being issues. Practical advice for residents: take advantage of free resources, find your community, and remember that residency is just one chapter. What gives both Dr. Waxman and Charlie hope about the next generation of physicians. Guest Information: Mr. Charles Lowry, Director of Graduate Medical Education Relations, PracticeLink.

    What if the key to physician career satisfaction and retention lies not in more training, but in better matching? In this insightful episode, Dr. Randy Cook welcomes Mr. Charles Lowry, Director of Provider Engagement for PracticeLink.

The transformative experience of attending tuition-free Berea College and working with international students. The crucial role of a Statewide Campus Director in guiding medical students through clinical rotations. How PracticeLink serves as a free, comprehensive career resource for physicians at all stages.
