About
Coaching is not therapy,
and great coaching can be incredibly therapeutic.
Lodestar's trauma-mitigation coaching paradigm is both aspirational and highly effective for professionals navigating times such as these.
Why Lodestar
In the end, it's really very simple: We all need a deeper bench.
That's why I founded Lodestar.
Burnout, Vicarious Trauma and Moral Injury
Physicians are smart, tough, durable, resourceful people. If there was a way to MacGyver themselves out of this situation by working harder, smarter, or differently, they would have done it already.
-- Talbot & Dean, STAT 7.18
Meet Dr. Sarraf
"Everyone is experiencing this pandemic differently, but our baseline emotions are the same: shock, fear, resolve, outrage, disbelief, exhaustion and, ultimately, grief. No one - especially those in the field of medicine - is escaping this unscathed. The pain is universal, and we all need some extra tools right now."
-- Kemia Sarraf, M.D., M.P.H., RCC, TIPC™
The Lodestar Team
There's just no getting around it: 2020 cracked already overburdened systems.
People across professions were hurting and harmed even prior to the year-that-defied-description; this year has redoubled and amplified the harm.
This is a time of tremendous change AND enormous opportunity.
