Transforming Healthcare Coaching® develops healthcare leaders and aligns healthcare teams so they can lead meaningful change and thrive while doing it. Our work is grounded in real clinical experience and a deep understanding of what healthcare actually asks of the people leading it.
Healthcare promotes its most capable clinicians into roles it rarely prepares them for. They are then asked to align teams, navigate conflict, lead change, make consequential decisions, and protect performance, often without the development those responsibilities require.
Over time the cost shows up as strained communication, stalled initiatives, disengagement, turnover, and the loss of experienced people healthcare cannot afford to lose.
Transforming Healthcare Coaching® develops healthcare leaders and aligns healthcare teams so they can lead meaningful change and thrive while doing it.
Healthcare changes through people working differently together. So we develop the leader, we align the team, and we practice until the change holds. One person changes a conversation. A conversation changes a team. And teams change systems.
Together, we can transform healthcare, one person at a time.®
Energy Leadership is the cornerstone of how we do that work. Before a leader can change a conversation, a decision, or a team, they have to see how their energy shows up under pressure: what it invites, what it shuts down, and what it costs them. That awareness is where every engagement begins, whether we are coaching one leader or an entire leadership team.
We work exclusively in healthcare. Our coaches have carried the same responsibilities your leaders carry now, across critical care, emergency medicine, nursing, rehabilitation, medical education, and healthcare leadership. That lived experience earns trust quickly. Our coaching expertise, systemic lens, and evidence informed methods turn that trust into action.
Develop the leader. Align the team. Practice sustainable change.
With more than two decades in academic critical care and emergency medicine, Lillian has practiced, taught, mentored, and developed people inside the system your leaders work in. She founded Transforming Healthcare Coaching® because expertise alone does not prepare anyone for what healthcare asks them to carry.
Her work brings together medicine, medical education, communication training, and executive coaching. Through the AND Framework™, which is Awareness, New Action, and Deliberate Practice, she helps leaders and teams turn insight into practiced behavior that holds after the engagement ends.
As your coach, Lillian will help you find your “both/and” in your life’s works & dreams.
A healthcare system where well developed leaders create aligned, human centered teams, and where people, performance, and meaningful change can thrive together.
Healthcare is an interprofessional team sport. We support clinicians and non clinical healthcare professionals across disciplines and career stages, because the change healthcare needs will not come from any one role acting alone.
Together, we can transform healthcare, one person at a time.®
All of our coaches at Transforming Healthcare Coaching are current or former healthcare clinicians or served in executive leadership roles, just like you. Our coaches are all ICF-credentialed and bring a unique perspective and diverse, specialized skill set to the art of coaching. We are united by a shared commitment to your success and wellbeing.
At Transforming Healthcare Coaching, we believe in a holistic approach. Your career is more than your job—it’s a part of your life. And your life, identity, and values can be in alignment at work–you don’t need to pretend that those qualities are not important in your career. We believe that leaders have an important role in championing future change for all of healthcare.
Our coaching approach is personalized, evidence-based, and results-oriented. We believe in a partnership model where we work together to identify your goals, overcome obstacles, and celebrate your achievements.

This free assessment shows you how you respond when it counts, where your energy goes, and what to shift next. Choose the path that fits you: self-leadership for your own growth, or executive and team leadership if you guide others. It takes just a few minutes.
