Coaching for Physicians & Healthcare Leaders
I work with healthcare professionals to increase well-being and personal satisfaction, particularly in the face of challenging and stressful circumstances.

Why Coaching?
As a physician myself, I know the challenges you face everyday.
After more than 30 years practicing medicine (10 in emergency medicine, 20 in private practice), I’m familiar with the fatigue and challenges you face in your career – and know the impact happy, healthy physicians have on patient outcomes.
As an executive and leadership coach who specializes in supporting physicians and others in healthcare organizations, I have done executive coaching across a wide array of industries, and have most enjoyed helping my colleagues in the medical industry thrive.
For nearly 15 years I’ve enjoyed serving healthcare leaders as an ICF Professional Certified Coach, PCI certified Physician Development Coach and London Business School Executive Coach.
Whether you’re dealing with compassion fatigue, struggling with a bad patient outcome, feeling leadership or organizational growth pains or simply want to get back to loving your work again, I’d love to talk to you.

Testimonials
What People Are Saying
Highly recommended
Andrew Zechnich, M.D.
Keith is fantastic, and it is so helpful to have someone skilled that I can talk with about balance and managing work stress – he has helped me find self-assessment tools and interpret them, reflect on my bigger vision and given me the courage to pursue that vision. He has even referred me to excellent resources including poetry and reflections that I have found valuable. I appreciate his easy-going style, compassion, and expertise. Very valuable experience, and I recommend Keith highly.
The Very Best of the Best!
Dr. Byler (Keith) is truly the very best of the best in his field. He has a warm and easygoing style but his wisdom is prodigious. His help for me when I was at a professional low point was truly invaluable and more than useful in that he was able to build me back up starting with introspection and reshaping my self esteem. I highly recommend him to any physician or professional who has need of counseling. I can’t thank him enough for all he has done for me. You are top shelf Dr. Byler, in every way! Thank you Sir!
I have been meeting with
I have been meeting with Keith for several months now. He has been not only a physician peer coach related to my current medical practice, but also has become a trusted friend who I can discuss very difficult home situations regarding the terminal illness of my spouse, children and young adults dealing with terminal illness, my own personal feelings and concerns, and so forth. It truly takes a village when one faces such difficult tasks and Keith provides a significant foundation to my village. I cannot thank him enough for his concern, empathy, and guidance.
