105 Coaching Client Spotlight: Dr. Sukeshi Arora, M.D.

You can text us here with any comments, questions, or thoughts!

Dr. Arora graduated from the University of Texas (UT) Southwestern Medical School in Dallas, Texas, and completed her Internal Medicine Residency and Medical Hematology and Oncology Fellowship at UT Health San Antonio. She holds the John Eiler Endowed Professorship in Cancer Research and is an Associate Professor of Medicine in the Division of Hematology/Oncology, at UT Health San Antonio.

As a medical oncologist, her clinical and research specialty is in hepatobiliary cancers, focusing on drug development in patient populations that are typically underrepresented, such as older patients, Latinos, and patients with liver dysfunction. She is also an alumnus of our Get That Grant® coaching program!

Listen in as we discuss her coaching journey and: 

• What wasn't working in her career that led her to apply to our Get That Grant® coaching program
• Becoming aware of career isolation and mapping out a plan to build a community of support
• The incremental shifts she experienced that radically transformed how she approach her career 
• How letting go of what's not serving you is you taking action on the belief that things could be better
• What she has now in her academic life that she didn't have before coaching
• Her advice to anyone thinking about coaching and want to experience a similar transformation as she did
