Our Founder

Dr. Vicki Rackner has a singular focus: helping her clients get the business outcomes they desire.

As Dr. Rackner made a transition from being a breast surgeon to an entrepreneur in 2000, she struggled. She invested in coaches and courses and mentors, and still, she was not getting the business results she wanted.

While in Europe on a speaking engagement, she went to plug in her laptop and had a lightbulb moment. She realized she couldn’t plug her laptop into the wall because Europe was wired differently than the US. She said to herself, “That’s it!  As a doctor, I’m wired differently than my business-minded buyers. I need to create an adapter so I can plug into them!”

And that’s exactly what she did. Gaining a deep understanding of what was important to her buyers and what inspires them to take action transformed her results.

Dr. Rackner has built a bridge between the world of business and the world of medicine. Once she cracked the code, she was able to launch multiple business ventures that replaced her income as a surgeon.

Now Dr. Rackner delivers keynote addresses at national meetings, writes books, and has been quoted in national publications.

Engaging Doctors was born out of Dr. Rackner’s desire to make an impact in the lives of doctors who were struggling through the 2008 financial crisis. She saw that she could create leverage if she helped individual financial advisors cross the bridge so they could attract, engage and serve doctor clients.

Engaging Doctors has been Dr. Rackner’s professional focus for more than a decade. Using evidenced-based marketing, she helps financial advisors implement the proven tactics they need to attract, engage and serve doctor clients and accelerate their business growth.

By coaching both financial advisors through Engaging Doctors and fellow doctors through Thriving Doctors, Dr. Rackner keeps a pulse on both what is happening in the medical world and in the business world, making her the ideal coach to help financial advisors accelerate their business growth by working with more doctor clients.

If my life had a bumper sticker, it would read, “Heal thyself”. I faced challenges, made lots of mistakes as I searched for solutions. Now I share my hard-won lessons with others. – Dr. Vicki Rackner
