40 minute Coaching Consult for Doctors
1 CPD Hour | 40 Minutes consult delivered via Zoom
Overview
This 40-minute coaching session via Zoom provides tailored feedback on your resume, cover letter, or written application responses. You can choose to focus in depth on one or two documents or receive higher-level feedback on several—depending on your needs and how you'd like to use the time.
Led by an experienced career coach, the session is designed to help you create application materials that clearly communicate your value and stand out in a competitive job market. We’ll work with you to sharpen your messaging, align your documents with your career goals, and strengthen your professional brand.
What to expect
This 40-minute Zoom session is led by an experienced career coach who specialises in supporting doctors and health professionals. Sessions are scheduled at a time that suits you.
Before your session, you’ll complete a short booking form to help your coach prepare. You should also have the documents you wish to review ready to share on screen or email them to your coach at least five minutes prior to the session.
How you use the session is up to you. You might seek general feedback, help articulating your professional brand, or support in aligning your experience with a specific role. Together, you’ll review as much as time allows.
After the session, you may receive follow-up resources to help refine your documents further. Follow-up sessions are also available if needed.

Who should attend this session?
Doctors at any stage of their career—from internship through to retirement—can benefit from support in refining their application documents.

What is coaching?
Coaching helps you build skills, increase your confidence, and improve your performance in your role. It can support you too:
- Identify strategies to tackle challenges
- Better navigate organisational systems
- Actively manage and plan your career
- Assess options and make informed career decisions
At its core, coaching is about taking ownership of your development. The coach supports this through structured questions, reflection, and feedback—helping you challenge assumptions and find your own solutions.
Our coaching approach is grounded in evidence-based methods drawn from leadership development, positive psychology, and adult learning theory. Sessions are goal-focused, tailored to your context, and built around a collaborative partnership between you and your coach.
Coaching is not the same as mentoring, supervision, teaching or counselling. It’s a future-focused, strengths-based process that supports you to clarify what matters most and take purposeful steps forward.
