Executive Coach Helps Medical Practice Experience Dramatic Growth

My medical practice, Potomac Psychiatry has grown dramatically over the past 3 years. We have secured a constant supply of new patients, a growing team of clinical and office professionals, and successfully launched new specialty services.

In addition to improved financial results for all of us, I also have more fun at work, am writing a book, and enjoy devoting more time to family, travel, and hobbies. I am certain that these results are due to Tony’s executive coaching and the help of his Genuine Success group.

Tony’s contribution to my growth




I recently had the privilege of providing executive coaching to a dynamic global entrepreneur selected by the TED Foundation for one of their distinguished fellowships. He shares, below, some of his experience with my executive coaching.

TED Fellow Sandeep SoodTony combines entrepreneurial advice and Eastern wisdom to deliver a holistic coaching experience. He is a keen listener; often, I would begin a session talking about my weekend or some other topic that felt like small talk–and I would be stunned by Tony’s ability to draw out patterns and lessons from the tiniest details of my life.

Within a few weeks of working with Tony, I accomplished the following:

  1. Committed to a series of improvements in my sales process and marketing strategy, that eventually lead to one million dollars in leads.
  2. Recommitted to a meditation practice, which I have continued.
  3. I was able to see clearly how my personal and work lives were one and the same; that I manifested the same behavior regardless of the situation.




I will always be grateful for Tony’s contribution to my growth; I can think of few ways to start 2010 that would have been more powerful than working with him.

Reluctance to be wrong stops creativity & growth




A great article in the New York Times, a few highlights:

Paul J. H. Schoemaker, chairman of Decision Strategies International…

“We get fixated on achievement,” he said, but, “everyone is talking about the need to innovate. If you already know the answer, it’s not learning. In most personal and business contexts, if you avoid the error, you avoid the learning process.”

We grow up with a mixed message: making mistakes is a necessary learning tool, but we should avoid them.

Carol S. Dweck, a psychology professor at Stanford University, has studied this and related issues for decades.

“Studies with children and adults show that a large percentage cannot tolerate mistakes or setbacks,” she said.

  • We are risk-averse because “our personal and professional pride is tied up in being right. Employees are rewarded for good decisions and penalized for failures, so they spend a great deal of time and energy trying not to make mistakes.”
  • We tend to favor data that confirms our beliefs.
  • We assume feedback is reliable, although in reality it is often lacking or misleading. We don’t often look outside tested channels.
