Trudy accelerates her career, speaks up in meetings, and has a bigger impact on her patients

Case Study Summary

Trudy, a healthcare professional, came to coaching with Jeff looking to build on her strengths and create a bigger impact—both with her patients and in her personal life.

Her biggest breakthrough? Learning to quiet her inner critic, a voice that had been holding her back for years. With Jeff’s support, she gained the clarity and confidence to speak up in meetings, tackle tough conversations, and show up as her best self in every area of her life.

What was the biggest reason you wanted coaching? What did you hope to learn?

I wanted to use the skills I already had and then build upon them and refine them to be able to make a bigger impact on my patients I look after in the healthcare field, and that was something I recognize would launch me in my professional life but then also be skills that would be applicable in helping me in my personal relationships What would you say is the most important thing you have learned with coaching?

I would say the most important thing I've learned was how to manage my inner critic because I feel that was something that was holding me back from being able to develop all these other skills that could be built upon.

That's something that's really hard to manage without a secondary person looking from an outside perspective looking in and that is what Jeff's coaching provides."

Talk a little bit about how life is different after coaching.  

What sort of wins can you share with us?Life is different after coaching.A big win that I got from it is just being able to manage the inner critic means that I can now speak up in meetings and can have difficult conversations and that is a skill that is actually something that can be developed and something that can be learned and worked on.

Previously, I think that’s something that I would have found difficult to do just on my own accord even if I tried to work on it on my own and that's where the benefit of the coaching comes in because it is almost like a blind sport that is not on your radar until you have someone that would help guide you through that process.

What would you tell someone who is considering private coaching from me?

I would say that you get, you get what you put into it. ​It is important that you have the mindset of wanting to learn and be receptive and also put into action the steps that Jeff will recommend to you between each call. ​It is all about putting the responsibility on the coach but then also taking that responsibility onto yourself and that is where you both end up getting a lot of benefit from the coaching.

Connect with anyone, tell stories that captivate, and feel like you truly belong. No awkwardness, no overthinking, just you at your best.
