Physical Therapist and Burnout Coach, Dr. Ricky Fernandez

Send us Fan MailAccording to Coachfoundation.com, passion is one of the most important qualities of a good coach. Enter Dr. Ricky Fernandez, a doctor of physical therapy and a burnout coach and I was eager to talk with him for those reasons.We talked about all the things he does as a physical therapist: his schedule (which is kind of sweet), what his patients need, and the importance of collaboration with allied health professionals.As we delved into the topic of burnout, his passion became evident.

He pointed out that certain personality traits such as perfectionism (me) people-pleasing (me as well) and martyrdom (again, me) can make individuals susceptible to burnout.
