The career I fought so hard for started to feel like a nightmare. I was exhausted. My wellness reserves had been tapped for years – and yet I kept pushing. Then one day, after another grueling day, I finally said ENOUGH.
I wasn’t happy. It was time to make a change. Through coaching, I started to rediscover myself, my calling and my purpose. Now, I practice medicine on my own terms…and you can, too.

William Ennis’ Prescription for Success:
Number 1: Stay Open. Never believe that your initial trajectory and pathway and thoughts are in stone.
Number 2: Seek and cultivate the council of mentors.
Number 3: Be Happy. Because being happy is the opposite of burnout.

Notable quotes from William’s Interview:
I gingerly told my chairman ‘I think there may be a better way that we could approach the wound clinic,’ and his response response was ‘Well, that’s good, because now you own all of it.” That was the dumbest and the best thing I ever said to a senior.
If ever there was a career that emphasized fluidity, it’s mine. Starting from wanting to be a basic scientist, to being a doctor doing clinical trials, to being a surgeon, to being a wound care person, to getting business degrees, to doing wound care in the political world of the ACGME. If you don’t stay open to those things, they are not available.
