Dr. Jessica Kennerson

I offer personalized coaching services designed specifically for physicians and advanced practice providers facing the unique challenges of clinical practice. Informed by 13 years as a board-certified OB/GYN and coaching certification from The Life Coach School, my coaching helps medical professionals transform both their careers and personal lives through evidence-based techniques. My clients learn to transform difficult workplace relationships into productive partnerships, communicate with clarity and confidence in challenging situations, and navigate conflict with strategies that strengthen rather than damage relationships.

Who I Work With

My coaching specifically serves healthcare professionals who are:

• Dreading work interactions with certain colleagues, administrators, or team members
• Feeling undervalued or misunderstood in their professional environment
• Struggling to voice concerns or set boundaries in high-pressure clinical settings
• Doubting their worth or abilities based on difficult workplace exchanges
• Navigating leadership challenges that strain professional relationships
• Finding that interpersonal tensions are affecting patient care or professional satisfaction

Coaching Style

My coaching approach integrates cognitive behavioral techniques with structured methodologies including the CTFAR model (Circumstances, Thoughts, Feelings, Actions, Results) and the GROW model (Goals, Reality, Options, Way Forward). This evidence-based approach has proven effective for physician development in burnout prevention, career satisfaction, and professional effectiveness. I create a supportive environment where healthcare professionals can examine their thought processes, understand how these drive their feelings and actions, and develop new patterns that lead to desired outcomes.

Coaching Focus Areas

• Workplace Relationship Transformation – Learn strategies to convert challenging professional relationships into collaborative partnerships built on mutual respect and understanding.
• Effective Communication in High-Stress Environments – Develop skills to express yourself clearly and confidently in difficult conversations, team meetings, and when delivering feedback.
• Conflict Navigation & Resolution – Improve techniques for addressing conflicts constructively, turning potential disruptions into opportunities for professional growth and improved team dynamics.
• Professional Confidence & Mindset – Build self-awareness by identifying limiting thought patterns and creating an intentional mindset that supports your ability to handle challenging interactions.

Client Results

Clients tell me they value my practical, straightforward approach that respects their medical expertise while giving them space to discuss difficult topics. After coaching, they discover they have more options for responding to challenging situations than they initially thought. This awareness helps them make choices that get better results, rather than falling into patterns that are not working for them. They become more effective at reading interpersonal situations, advocating for themselves, and working productively with colleagues—even difficult ones. Many clients have transformed strained work relationships, improved how their teams function, and found greater satisfaction in their medical careers.

Let’s transform workplace challenges into opportunities for growth, so you can rediscover the joy and purpose in the medical career you’ve worked so hard to build
