Whitney Black
My professional journey began in a small town along the Mississippi River and led me through the heights of academic medicine. Over two decades, I’ve trained and mentored hundreds of students, residents, and faculty; held leadership roles in major academic departments; authored peer-reviewed research; served on advisory boards; maintained a thriving clinical practice; and consulted with medical technology companies—all while doing the other parts of life. The path wasn’t linear. It included unexpected turns: a change in specialties, time away for family, periods of doubt and recalibration. These shifts demanded courage and reflection, but over time, they brought me into deeper alignment with my values and the life I want to live. I’ve never felt more spacious, grounded, or free. And now I am here. Here—to meet others at their own thresholds of uncertainty, ambition, burnout, or becoming. To support those navigating change, longing for clarity, or reaching for something more whole. I’ve come to understand how motivation, well-being, and success are intimately connected—and how easily they can fall out of sync in high-achieving environments. My mission is to help you reconnect them. As your coach, I offer a space of thoughtful, honest, and supportive inquiry. I bring reliability, intention, and curiosity to every conversation, helping you not only understand where you are, but envision where you long to go. Through an integrated, personalized approach to coaching, we work together to create the conditions for transformation. It’s not just about getting unstuck. It’s about reclaiming a sense of possibility—and building a life with more purpose, satisfaction, and joy. What about you? Where are you saying yes out of habit—and what might change if you paused? What’s quietly calling for your attention beneath the noise of achievement? If something in you is ready to shift, are you listening?
