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

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?”
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?”
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.
