“Ezgi has been an exceptional mentor and coach for me. She truly listens and genuinely cares about all aspects of my work and wellbeing. Her professionalism, creativity and calm demeanor in addressing issues are fantastic.

“Ezgi Tiryaki has an almost preternatural ability to help you identify what you're stuck on, turn it around so you can see it from a different perspective, and most importantly create an approach and path forward that is absolutely feasible. At the same time, she helps keep the larger horizon in view.

These tools are invaluable, and have changed the way I approach both day to day work and bigger challenges.”

— Allyson Hart, MD, IRB Chair, Hennepin Healthcare Research Institute

“For over 15 years Ezgi and I have been mentor, teacher, confidant, friend, and coach for and with each other. I am better at my work, think about things in a more structured and empathic way and understand nuances of leadership and leadership education in part because of the time I have had with Dr. Tiryaki.

There is an unmistaken set of personal qualities that underlie Ezgi’s leadership and clinical work: Her uncanny ability to listen and to care.

Her patients, her employees, and her work in leadership education are all enhanced by those two essential personal characteristics necessary to be a great coach.”

— Tom Gilliam RN, Co-founder Rothenberger Leadership Academy

“Dr. Tiryaki developed and led a session on the SCARF model for our primary care leaders that was customized to our leadership team. As sponsoring leaders, she did frequent check-ins with us to ensure the content met our goals. She was very engaging and kept the attention of the full leader group. After the session, we received feedback from the attendees they really enjoyed the session and started applying what they learned both professionally and personally.”
