I’m Marco Benítez, a certified coach and Physician Associate.

​

My professional path began in medicine. Years of training led me into a career I had wanted for a long time, and I enjoyed the work. After several years of practice, something began to feel missing, even though I couldn’t immediately explain why.

​

Over time, I noticed something that consistently stood out. The moments that felt most meaningful were not about diagnoses or treatment plans. They were conversations with patients, colleagues, and peers about stressors, challenges, and obstacles they were facing in their lives and work.

​

I was drawn to these conversations and intuitively began asking questions that helped people see their situations differently, name what was really going on, and identify possible solutions to the challenges they were facing. The people I spoke with often left feeling motivated, inspired, and more hopeful. I found myself leaving those conversations energized and engaged in a way I hadn’t experienced before.

​

As this happened more often, I found myself naturally listening beneath the surface, noticing patterns, and asking questions that opened space for new perspective. For the first time, I began to think seriously about doing work outside of my medical training. These conversations were deep and transformative, and they felt more focused, more human, and more impactful than anything else I was doing.

​

At a certain point, I realized this was not something I wanted to do occasionally. It was the work I wanted to do all the time.

I explored different paths before discovering coaching as the way to build a career around this work. Coaching provided structure, a framework, and tools to support meaningful conversations that lead to clarity, perspective, and change.

​

Today, I coach professionals who are thinking seriously about their work and direction, not because they simply want to climb the ladder, but because they want their work to reflect what matters most to them personally and professionally and to increase their sense of purpose.

​

My approach is analytical, empathetic, structured, and grounded in experience. I rarely give advice or prescribe answers. Instead, I help people reflect on their current situation and ask the questions they may be avoiding so they can see what no longer fits, gain clarity, and make choices they can commit to with confidence in order to move toward the goals they want to achieve.

​

My clients and I thrive on deep, powerful conversations as the backbone of the coaching experience.

If you’re considering coaching, a consultation call is the first step and an opportunity to share where you are, what isn’t working, and where you’d like to be.
