“I feel that I now have a new lease of life within my career, where I feel that I am now calling the shots. I am the one in control! I’m working the sessions that I want to work, in the areas that I feel the most valued in. I have been dreaming about trying private work for years, and I finally have started my clinics. I can’t believe my dream is now a reality!
A year ago, I was ready to give up my Medical career. Coaching has helped me realise that all I needed was a few tweaks here and there! Thank you Dr Joshi for supporting me through this important career transition!”
