69: Can You Be Excellent Without Being Perfect?

“Excellence is a process. It’s a journey. It’s a discovery.  And Perfectionism just kind of stops everything cold in its tracks.” - Coach Gabriella Dennery MD

In this episode, Lead Coaches Gabriella Dennery MD and Jill Farmer ponder the question: Can you be excellent without being perfect? In order to answer that, first they break down the definitions of perfectionism and excellence and tell us what distinguishes the two. Turns out, there is a huge difference between being perfect and being excellent. And what’s more is that striving to be perfect can often hinder us and keep us stagnant. But striving for excellence is freeing and leads to discovery while accomplishing what you set out to do. Tune in to hear why excellence is key.

At DocWorking, our specialty is Coaching Physicians. We bring an exceptional experienced team to Coach Physicians to achieve the Best in Life and Medicine. 

 

Doctors devote their lives to caring for others. But does that mean they must sacrifice their own health and wellbeing? Absolutely not!

 

At DocWorking, we have developed a unique way to embrace it all.

 

The caring for others that you do so selflessly AND the caring for YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY that you crave in order to bring it all into the perfect balance specific to YOU.

 

What if we told you that you CAN have it all? The career you dreamed of when you decided to become a doctor AND the life outside of medicine that you desire?

 

DocWorking empowers physicians to get back on the path to achieving their dreams.

 

At DocWorking, we understand the tug between life and medicine–a desire to make an impact through your specialized skills but a longing for more time to prioritize your own dreams and ambitions.

 

We understand because we are a team of physicians and experienced coaches who have been successfully coaching physicians for more than 10 years.

 

Professional coaching is transformational. Elite athletes, award-winning actors and top-performing executives all know this, which is why they embrace coaching to achieve such extraordinary success.  Smart leaders leverage the power of coaching to achieve outcomes that are meaningful, measurable, and attainable. Physicians definitively benefit from coaching, and we are here to provide the best of the best.

 

It’s Time to Prioritize the Health and Wellness of Physicians! DocWorking is here for you. 

 

Our Coaches Will Show You How!
