Prescription for Change
Career Coaching for Medical Professionals
Achieve Work-Life balance and practice medicine the way you want
Work-Life Balance Is Possible
Exhausted and drained every day, after seeing patients and charting? Constantly arguing with co-workers or family members? Forgotten why you decided to be a doctor in the first place?
You’re not alone. Doctors are struggling to keep up with changing demands – from insurance companies, from hospital management, even from patients. The burnout rate for physicians was 43% in 2019 – and that was before COVID.

Getting Past Perfectionism
Charting and other nominally manageable tasks become overwhelming when you hold yourself to impossible standards. Learn to chart faster and better, and refocus on patient care.
Learning to Use Your Team
Allow your team to do its best work instead of doing all the work for your team. Learn how to utilize them effectively for triage, scheduling, and recording, so that you can spend your time on medicine.
Enhancing Your Communication Skills
Barking out orders demoralizes your staff and discourages them from taking initiative. Learn instead to have crucial conversations. Find mutual purpose, empower your staff, and learn to work together maximize your practice’s efficiency.

- I never get home on time
- I work every weekend

What They’re Saying about Penelope Hsu Coaching
When I first started coaching with Penelope, I was unhappy because I was dealing with a difficult boss and my job was not meeting my expectations. Penelope taught me deep breathing and other techniques to help me on rough days. She also helped me see how unrealistic expectations were in fact contributing to my stress. I was surprised by how quickly I felt better about things once we started working together. I was in crisis mode when I started coaching, but by talking with Penelope and doing something about my job unhappiness, I felt so much better. Now, I am happy to report we have a much more peaceful practice, with a lot less arguing, and a lot less frustration. I’m also way better now at leaving work drama at work.
