About My Guest:
JOE SHERMAN, MD
is a pediatrician, transformational coach, and consultant who is passionate about helping physicians redefine their relationship with the relentless demands of their careers. With over 35 years of experience in pediatric practice, Joe has dedicated much of his life to providing care to underserved and medically complex children in the U.S. and abroad — from Washington, D.C. to Uganda and Bolivia.
After facing a profound personal experience with burnout, Joe made the courageous decision to step back from clinical work and embark on a journey of self-discovery. That pivotal moment led him to uncover his true, authentic voice and chart a career path aligned with meaning, purpose, and fulfillment.
Today, Joe is a Master Certified Physician Development Coach through the Physician Coaching Institute and a trained facilitator with the Center for Courage and Renewal. He offers individual coaching, physician retreats, team support, and workshops — all designed to promote professional well-being, leadership development, and long-term career sustainability for healthcare providers.
