Jim Waters

Jim Waters is an author, coach, and former healthcare executive whose work explores the patterns that shape our relationships, careers, identities, and choices.

After more than three decades in healthcare—from working directly with patients to leading complex healthcare organizations—Jim began looking more closely at a different kind of work: understanding why we become who we are, why we repeat patterns even when we know better, and what it takes to change them.

He holds a doctorate in psychology, an MBA, and graduate education in healthcare leadership. But You’re Not Finished Yet isn't written from the perspective of someone who has life figured out. It's written by someone who has had to confront his own patterns, relationships, successes, failures, burnout, and need for approval along the way.

Jim lives in Florida, where he writes, coaches, plays tennis, and continues exploring what it means to stop performing a life and start actually living one.
