Introducing you to Dr. Bob, a family physician practising in a rural community. As a mid-career physician, Chief of a Community Hospital, partner and father, he juggles multiple roles. Following an 80 hour work week, he is exhausted and feeling like he doesn't have any emotional or physical energy left in his tank for himself, his family, and his career. He knows he needs to make a change, he just hasn’t got a plan yet….
Dr. Bob starts a coaching journey with Coframe and begins to find the success that is important to him.
Why Coframe?
Through exceptional coaching techniques, one on one attention, powerful questioning, and attentive listening, Coframe coaches aim to achieve these expected results:
A meaningful understanding of personal identity, strengths and purpose
A new way of thinking and a shift in mindset
Prioritization strategies to effectively triage competing demands
Enhanced relationships with colleagues, family and friends
A clear picture of the right type of CHANGE for you
What is the Coframe Process?
Individuals who want to explore coaching are invited to participate in a live, one on one discovery session where Coframe coaches will educate about coaching, explore the client’s needs and expectations. Together, they decide whether coaching is valuable for both sides.
Coframe then engages with clients over a 3 to 6 month period with coaching sessions every 2 to 4 weeks.
Value is assessed at the end of each session to ensure client expectations are being met.
Testimonials
“I really enjoyed my coaching sessions with Michelle. She is knowledgeable, friendly, and approachable. She was encouraging and sincere in guiding me in my professional and personal journey. Michelle’s background as both a doctor and coach gives her a unique perspective and I connected with her as a fellow health care provider. I believe as a client, you will feel cared for and gain clarity in your decision-making with Michelle’s guidance.”

“I started working with Dr. Jackman at the time that I was considering a career in Pediatrics. Over the course of a few months, she partnered with me to achieve a specific research goal. I was able to successfully create a project that I was proud and passionate about. In addition, Dr. Jackman has been a great inspiration in my personal life. She allows me to feel heard, to feel safe to share my thoughts, and encourages me to chase after my goals. She challenges me to think outside the box and has helped me tap into my strengths through every step of my career, and aspects of my personal life. I am extremely thankful for the privilege of having her as a coach in my life.”

I am a surgeon with a busy clinical practice and for the past 10 years have also held a significant leadership role that has consumed a great deal of my time, dealing with a variety of organizational, interpersonal, mentoring, and planning challenges. This leadership role is coming to an end soon and I was feeling unsure of what I should do to fill this void. I therefore engaged Michelle Jackman at Coframe Physician Coaching over a 6-month time period in order to help me navigate this anticipated transition in my professional life.
Rather than jumping directly into the issue at hand Michelle started by challenging me to carefully identify my core personal values. She then had me list the things that I expected to lose once my current leadership job ended, and secondly the possible opportunities that might arise. She asked me to try to balance the losses against the gains and to try to see where these fit within the context of my core personal values. She never told me explicitly what she thought I should do but rather collated and summarized my answers and then provided me with several different organizational and cognitive frameworks aimed at helping me reach solutions that resonated with me. Even more exciting was the realization that I could use these same strategies to sort out other professional and personal dilemmas in the future.
Overall, this process with Michelle was very insightful and also, at times, surprisingly emotional. Michelle always made me feel comfortable and never judged as we worked through the process. I would strongly recommend Michelle as a professional coach to other physicians who are facing professional challenges or simply seeking to gain more professional fulfillment and self-awareness.
Thank you, Michelle!

Michelle was my preceptor and mentor during my residency training program in Calgary. At the time, I was considering an opportunity to transition into a surgical specialty. Michelle's compassionate and personable approach helped me explore this very challenging decision. These conversations were pivotal in terms of clarifying my career goals. The process renewed my sense of purpose and strengths that drew me to medicine initially. These conversations were one of the factors that led me to my decision to pursue my current career in Pediatric Plastic Surgery.
