“Dr. Edwards is one of the most insightful, forward thinking, pragmatic and action-oriented people I have worked with in the healthcare industry. She has the capability to see a problem or need, envision and seek out solutions and perhaps most importantly, put realistic plans in place to see that those solutions happen. When I finish a conversation with Dr. Edwards, I always find myself energized by the dialogue and in possession of at least one new idea or way of looking at an issue. Not to mention looking forward to the next time we can speak.”
~ David Nikka, Principal, SHR Advisors
“It is the rare individual, or consultant for that matter, who can transform DIKW (data, information, knowledge, wisdom) into practical insights. Colette delivers tremendous insight into seemingly complex topics and does so in such a wonderfully personable manner. Her unique blend of clinical experience and business savvy are wrapped in a warm, communication style. Scary smart in a delightful package.”
~ Dennis Kenez, President, GTD Healthcare Consulting, LLC
“Colette served as a key thought partner for our recently published book – Redefining Innovation. She read early drafts of our manuscript and her feedback was very helpful in shaping the content. Further, she has been a great advocate that the content is applicable more broadly not just within the healthcare sector but to any incumbent facing disruption.”

“Dr. Edwards delivers what she promises, on time and complete. A physician consultant with a broad background in all aspects of our troubled healthcare system, she is an excellent resource when dealing with the industry, both from a physician’s view and from the business side.”
~ Dr. Dave Rearick, Chief Medical Officer, Marsh & McLennan Agency
“Colette helped us expand our initial team in important ways. As an early collaborator with us at Live Circle, she helped us define a new model of care – one that tapped into her insights as an MD as well as her business savvy. Colette embraces the role of ‘story’ in individual health, and advocated for the role of coaching in improving care outcomes. Her holistic approach to well-being starts with her trying to understand what is really going in people’s lives, besides just the medical– and how that also impacts their health. She also leveraged her network to introduce us to talented people who contributed practical product insights. Colette is a master healer and coach. Her keen business eye also sharpens broad concepts into practical product insights. We are fortunate and honored to have had Colette as an advisor to Live Circle.”
~ Chad Chadwick, Founder and CEO, Live Circle

“It has been an honor to work with Dr. Edwards over the past two years, first as academic director and then as teaching colleague. As a physician, Colette brings valuable knowledge to clients, but unique to most physicians, she understands true healing and wellness are the results of a collaborative relationship where the client is the expert of his or her health. Dr. Edwards’ coaching skills inspire her clients to make positive change, and, as a teacher, she brings a deep understanding of the science and art of coaching.”
