Nance Goldstein, PhD and ICF-certified coach, is Resident Scholar at Brandeis University Women’s Studies Research Center and founder, Working Wisely Group.
She works with physicians and clinicians to tame practice overwhelm, lack of autonomy, and exhaustion with greater skill, patience and wisdom. She also joins physicians in assuming responsibility for leading the uncharted, complex world of healthcare innovation. With her and her research, leadership training and coaching experience, her clients enjoy the ride more.
Her work derives from current medical research and best practices in leadership development.
As an industry economist, the National Science Foundation awarded her and her colleagues a grant and later commissioned her to research the changing environment of working in IT (information technology) and the changes in the location and nature of jobs and skills triggered by IT. Harvard’s Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study named her a Fellow.
As Resident Scholar at Brandeis University WSRC, her research investigates the changing demands on healthcare leaders to guide and manage the work at hospitals and organizations to excel in the future. Leading oneself and others through uncertainty, complexity, innovation and change requires very different, surprising capabilities.
Peer-reviewed journals have published my work - like the Journal of Medical Internet Research’s ConnectedHealth conference proceedings, Academy of Management Learning and Education journal. Her media contributions include New England HR Association’s Insight, WITI Strategist, Boston Women’s Business Newspaper and Boston Herald. And online to Confident Voices in Healthcare and Healthcare Collaboration and other blogs.
The American Medical Women’s Association, Case Management Society of New England, Harvard University, Massachusetts LeadingAge, Boston Young Healthcare Professionals, Rabb Graduate School of Professional Studies at Brandeis University, Society of Women Engineers, Women in Design, IEEE Boston, New England Human Resources Association, Women In Technology International, Women in Management Conference, Boston Society of Architects and others have raved about her workshops, keynote addresses and webinars.
Her ebook, Choose Different: Physicians reduce burnout symptoms to enjoy medicine more (2016), summarizes medical research on what works to alleviate burnout and offers practical ways to improve one’s experience the next day. How to make your 20somethings happier…So you all pull together is an eBook that summarizes the healthcare literature on younger clinicians and their (dis)satisfaction with medical practice.
Her iTunes podcast, Finding Me in Medicine Again, delights early career women physicians who love its unique, honest conversations about careers. [These and other resources are available on her Working Wisely Group website, www.workingwiselygroup.com.]
