Notable quotes from Dr. Herbert’s interview:
I think I started to realize that there was a lot more that I could give outside of my practice, and there was a lot more I could do outside of just the one-on-one that we do as practicing physicians.
A Coach will be helpful for you to figure it out. Are you on the right career path? Are you getting the resources that you need? Are you asking for the resources that you need? I took her up on it, and hired the coach. And it was one of the best decisions I could have made, because there were things that I just didn’t know.
Who better are physicians going to really gel with other than another physician who’s walked that walk.
I’m really looking to be that bridge and to help organizations to become effective in their roles of serving others.
I couldn’t give to those I loved and serviced if my cup was empty.
