“James was excellent at listening to my comments and was able to react very quickly to them in an effective and meaningful way. James really listened and was able to internalize my thoughts and feelings. James was always present and was able to quickly shift gears during a conversation and recall discussion points from past sessions. This was very helpful in thinking about past points and continuing to progress meaningfully. He pushed me to set assignments and held me accountable for the follow-up. These exercises were helpful and almost always led to valuable insights. James’s communication skills were of the highest order and demonstrated an excellent sense of professionalism while embodying a warm tone.”

“The coaching process helped me look at the bigger picture and see the interplay between personal and professional life. It also helped me be more mindful about work/life balance and operationalize that in my life. I’m in a better place than I was a year ago.”

“Our cardiovascular service line had Jim McKenna work with physician and administrative leaders to help develop and align our leadership team. We got the results we wanted, and it was a very enjoyable process. Jim’s professionalism and expertise yielded some great initial results, and we are now able to work from that foundation to continue our progress as a more well aligned and synchronized team. His coaching included “big picture” thinking as well as practical tips that helped build our leaders confidence, collaborative abilities and ability to productively work through conflict. Gaining physician trust is not an easy task- but Jim makes it appear effortless. I highly recommend Jim McKenna for both his group and 1:1 coaching/leadership development.“

“Jim was my executive coach. He was a great partner. He was very skilled at helping me see how to navigate complex professional relationships, develop skills to better advocate and achieve goals, as well as be aware of my own blind spots. Jim was a pleasure to work with and a true confidant. He has a great understanding of the skills needed by physician leaders and executives. The things I learned have been invaluable in my ongoing development and success. “
