Have you ever asked yourself, “What am I doing?” Whether it’s in our professional life, personal relationships, or broader life choices, this question often arises during moments of uncertainty, burnout, or introspection. But asking this is just the beginning. What follows are a series of questions that can unlock clarity, spark personal growth, and guide next steps.

Join us for an engaging evening with the certified experienced coaches of CMDA Coaching. Through storytelling, discussion, and reflection, you will learn how to approach these questions in order to reconnect with your passions, regain purpose, and live more intentionally.  

Come prepared to wrestle with provocative questions, challenge your assumptions, and leave with a renewed sense of purpose and direction. Event is free and open to all healthcare professionals and those in training.
