Celebrating 25 Years

“The ability to admit, ‘I don’t know, but we can figure this out together,’ takes both humility and curiosity.”

– Eric Norwood, MEDI Leadership Coach

For 25 years, MEDI Leadership has helped healthcare leaders navigate change, foster resilient teams, and grow their leadership impact. As a result, we’ve had the privilege of watching our clients thrive through some of the industry’s most defining moments: mergers, crises, breakthroughs, transitions, the evolving demands and complexities of healthcare. Throughout it all, one constant remains: leadership, like healthcare, is a journey of learning.

History

As we celebrate MEDI Leadership’s 25th anniversary, we asked a few of our coaches to share about their journey coaching healthcare executives and teams. Here’s what they had to say.

 “What compelled you to serve as an executive coach in healthcare?”

“What compelled you to serve as an executive coach in healthcare?”

Lee Angus, President | Executive Coach

I’m attracted to the complexity of it, the challenge. Healthcare leaders operate in an incredibly complex and challenging environment, and it takes a specific set of leadership competencies to succeed in that environment. Helping leaders who are trying to help their community at their point of highest need and vulnerability feels good to me.
“What’s one principle you believe is foundational to effective leadership?”

“What’s one principle you believe is foundational to effective leadership?”

Deena Fischer, Business Development and Operations | Vice President | Executive Coach

The phrase: “You don’t have to be sick to get better.” I often hear Lee Angus (MEDI President) say this, which is commonly attributed to several authors. It emphasizes the idea that even strong leaders can continuously improve. It’s about unlocking your potential, enhancing your strengths, and achieving even greater impact as a leader.
“What’s one thing you’ve learned while coaching healthcare leaders?”

Gary Hoffman, Vice President | Executive Coach

Healthcare is incredibly complex. Leading in a complex world requires a different mindset and approach. As one client told me, learning to do so can be liberating, and it starts with changing yourself.

The Benefits of Executive Leadership Coaching for Healthcare Leaders

Our healthcare industry coaching services address skills vital for healthcare leaders who must make critical decisions, often in high-pressure situations, while managing the expectations of stakeholders, patients, and teams. An executive leadership coach offer valuable insights into your leadership style and develop a strategic growth plan.

The opportunity to work with MEDI Leadership has been extraordinary. The process has helped me identify critical strengths and growth needs focused on my effectiveness as a leader. The initial assessment provided me with a new and very specific level of awareness of my leadership style. We were able to identify several areas of focus and my coach helped me create strategies to address them. Putting those strategies in play has produced exceptional results. The enthusiastic feedback I’ve received from my constituents is a great motivator!

When you invest in leaders, you are really making an investment in every single member of the organization. My coaching experience with MEDI Leadership has been instrumental in my ability to close the gap between perceptions of my leadership style and my intentions. It has helped me to develop trust in professional relationships so that intentions are more visible, allowing me to be a considerably more effective leader and mentor to others. Investing my time in coaching has reinforced that repetition and consistency are the keys to success for any new behavior.
