Medical Executive Coaching

Did you know a CLINICAL VIVA and ACTING ON STAGE share many similarities?
Obviously, both are live - so on the day - there’s no going back for Take 2.
Both improve with practice - so rehearse-rehearse-rehearse – whereby after lots of rehearsals you develop resilience, such as replying to curly questions.
Both are reliant on you knowing your lines – clearly, you need solid knowledge of the subject matter.
Both need good performances/ presentations – think of it as putting on a show – so your delivery of that content is heavily critiqued by assessors.

Job interview success timeline:
Day 0 - Request for last minute interview coaching session.
Day 2 [First session] – Analyse existing style / Key performance techniques / Telling a good story.
Day 4 [Second session] – Practice, practice, practice interview questions / Critical feedback.
Day 5 - Job Interview 1.
Day 6 - Job Interview 2.
Result - “Letting you know I got job offers from both interviews I did last week. Really appreciate all your help and advice. Quite amazing how fine tuning can change my job situation in a short time. Looking forward to do more sessions with you early next year!” [Comment] The short timeframe was not ideal, however it can be done!

“Thanks for everything. I passed!” Obviously, this is what a tutor wants to hear. Then as an added bonus, I also got this text exchange . . .

Elation! Wish I could bottle it up!
As an actor, I get euphoric whenever I’m cast for a role.
Similarly as a tutor on presentation/ performance tips, I also get ecstatic whenever my students succeed!
Here’s what got me excited:
“Wanted to tell you the good news - I passed!! Thank you so much for all your help! There were so many moments just before and during the vivas that I was running through your advice in my head.” Surgical Trainee, Concord Hospital, Sydney Australia
