Our Values
1 - Community Over Competition
Gone are the days that we see each other as enemy. Instead, we believe working together is key to the success of an individual and the whole.
2 - Transparency
We believe in going beyond honesty and truly showing our colleagues and the world who we truly are, how we feel, what we can give and where our boundaries lie. We ask the same of our clients and the medical culture at large.
3 - Vulnerability
We believe in having hard conversations about ourselves, our lives and what impacts us without guilt or shame in a trusting and protected space.
4 - Open Coach Approach
We believe that we do not hold the answers to others problems nor that there is one singular way to solve an issue. We are present to bring clarity, awareness and action.
5 - Growth Mindset
We believe every opportunity, challenge or obstacle is a chance to learn something, be better and move forward. We embrace the power of "yet."
6 - Transformation
We believe life is less about the results and more about the journey/transformation along the way. We strive to help others see they are not stuck.
PCA is dedicated to the well-being of all physicians through coaching
History
It all started from an email sent February 2019 by Errin Weisman DO to 15 colleagues that she knew were interested in wellness work. She had been rolling an idea around after she had started to met so many wonderful physicians who were coaching or interested in coaching. She wondered, “What if I got all the coaches I know together and we worked together? How would that uplevel ourselves and healthcare?" And the idea of Coaching Circle was born.
The group began meeting once monthly then twice monthly and grew in membership. We saw the benefits from viewing different styles of coaching and our art of coaching together in a mutual setting because the most beautiful thing to emerge was COMMUNITY.
