Finding Inner Peace in a Busy World: A Conversation with Meditation Expert Ann Swanson
Struggling with the relentless pace of healthcare?
In this week’s episode of the Healthcare Provider Happy Hour, I found solace in Ann Swanson's insights on meditation, a practice that transcended her own battles with chronic pain and anxiety. As the author of "Meditation for the Real World: Finding Peace in Everyday Life," Ann joined me to debunk the myths surrounding meditation, showing us that it's an observation of thoughts, rather than their complete cessation.
Our conversation wove through her journey, revealing the transformative potential meditation holds, even for those of us who feel perpetually strapped for time. We navigated the neurological underpinnings of meditation, touching on its ability to reshape our brains. Ann and I unpacked how the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus blossom with regular practice, equipping listeners with the knowledge to harness these benefits in their own lives. We also tackled the challenge of mind wandering—a natural phenomenon—and shared strategies to refocus attention and cultivate a deeper sense of presence, an invaluable tool for anyone, especially those in high-stress medical environments.
Ann and I didn't just stop at the theory; we ventured into the practical, guiding listeners through a one-minute meditation aimed to smooth the transition from work to home.

Embracing Mindset Mastery for Healthcare Providers: A Journey to Fulfillment and Emotional Stability
In this week's episode, discover the transformative power of mindset with Michael Mojo as he joins me, on the Healthcare Provider Happy Hour. In a candid conversation, Michael reveals how he evolved from a student grappling with adversity to a beacon of wisdom for Australia's healthcare elite. We unravel the significance of mindset in safeguarding healthcare providers from the perils of stress and burnout, while simultaneously paving a path toward a more fulfilling practice. Michael's personal narrative is not just compelling; it serves as a testament to the resilience and potency of human potential when aligned with purpose and passion.
As we raise our glasses to the well-being of those who care for us, we discuss the critical role of integrated team environments in healthcare. The often-overlooked soft skills emerge as heroic characters in our tale, proving essential for effective leadership and teaching. Stories are shared that underscore the necessity of reconnecting with the initial spark that ignited our healthcare journeys. Through the lens of Michael's 'success map,' we uncover how defining personal boundaries and core values can arm healthcare professionals against the inherent complexities of patient care, ensuring they remain steadfast to their principles.
Finally, we toast to the symbiosis of emotional stability and success. Reflections on the deep-rooted connection between values, purpose, and fulfillment offer a backdrop to the age-old wisdom of yin and yang. In embracing life's contrasts, we find a wellspring of love and understanding that transcends the fleeting thrill of passion. Our conversation ventures into the realm of self-investment and self-care, advocating for practices that foster a durable appreciation for our personal and professional lives, even amidst the challenges faced in healthcare. Join us and let Michael's insights fortify your resolve to thrive in both your career and personal life.

A Personal Perspective: Changing the Way We Treat Patients, with Rebecca Deyo
In this week’s episode, I am joined by Rebecca Deyo, a practicing chiropractor in Grand Rapids, MI with a huge passion for improved patient communication and putting patients first.
Rebecca is a Palmer College of Chiropractic graduate, who completed most of her training at a VA Medical Center on the east coast. Her experience revealed communication gaps in healthcare professional programs, fueling her passion to help others improve patient communication and overall practice regardless of their specialty or experience level. Alongside seeing patients in private practice, she runs a podcast called Better Doctor Project and is actively involved in volunteer work through the American Chiropractic Association. Rebecca frequently speaks to chiropractic classes and programs about the importance of patient communication and having difficult conversations for optimal patient experiences and outcomes.
Her podcast, launched in 2019, addresses overlooked healthcare discussions during training, such as conducting an appropriate physical examination on a Muslim woman, responding to a patient with suicidal thoughts, and achieving better work-life balance as a resident. Her aim is to elevate these conversations, facilitating cross-learning among healthcare providers to better prepare for any patient interaction.

Teresa and I discuss her journey into the mindfulness space, tips & techniques on how we as healthcare providers can integrate mindfulness into our everyday lives to minimize stress and ultimately reduce burnout risk and compassion fatigue.
Combining her training and education, including a B.S. in Business Administration and an M.S. in Psychology specializing in Leadership Coaching Psychology, with her experience of over 35 years as a business consultant, Teresa integrates behavioral science with results-oriented processes to help executives and teams achieve their goals. She facilitates workshops, webinars and online trainings and is a frequent motivational speaker for various live and online events.
After years of observing people’s angst in individual coaching sessions and in group trainings, she realized that the one practice that could change everyone’s state of being was mindfulness. What began as monthly recordings for hospital-based home visiting teams to listen to while driving between client sessions turned into A Mindful Moment podcast, now produced in both English and Spanish. Her goal is to help people learn how to live a more enriching life with less stress and more contentment. She has also recently introduced online mindfulness classes to coaching professionals in the United States and Canada and offers online mindfulness courses through Work2Live.
Teresa is a member of the Mindfulness Society Global Institute, and is also an avid volunteer in the Los Angeles area, believing in community strength and in giving back.

She has served as Secretary/Treasurer on the Board of Directors of the My Stuff Bags Foundation since 2014 and was a member of the finance committee for Maternal Mental Health NOW from 2016-2022.

Replay: How we can Change the Culture Within Healthcare to Sustain Ourselves and Avoid Burnout, with Dr. Joe Sherman, Physician Coach
REPLAY - Originally released on Feb 8, 2022; I am joined by Dr. Joe Sherman, a practicing physician for over 35 years, a certified physician coach, an educator, and a former administrator. Joe guides organizations to shift outdated workplace culture into a collective leadership model and assists physicians in one-on-one coaching and group retreats to deliver quality care, succeed in leadership roles, and rediscover fulfillment in their careers. We discuss Joe’s journey in healthcare including what has kept him in the profession for over 35 years, what led to his burnout, his anxiety and depression, and what he is doing to change the culture in the field so that others have a positive experience as physicians.
About Joe: “In 2009, after spending 4 years living and working with a mission organization in Bolivia, I returned to the U.S. and my career as a pediatrician at an academic health center. I soon found the institutional, educational, and patient care demands placed upon me to be overwhelming. This eventually led to burnout and a temporary departure from clinical medicine.
After a year of reflection, discernment, and support from family and friends, I was able to identify my core values and integrate them into my future career decision-making. I returned to part-time pediatric practice while developing the skills to accompany other physicians, individually and in groups, to re-discover their passion for medicine.
Having experienced burnout, myself, I understand the day-to-day struggles health professionals face in trying to provide quality care to their patients while also dealing with the systemic dysfunction of healthcare institutions.
I am now a consultant and coach to individuals and healthcare organizations in the areas of burnout mitigation, leadership, and provider well-being. I am a trained retreat facilitator with the Center for Courage & Renewal, a Master Certified Professional Development Coach with the Physician Coaching Institute, and member of the International Coaching Federation.”
Tune in to this week’s episode to learn:
What the systematic root of the problem in the healthcare field is and how we can address it
How you can make a change on an individual level to get closer to your values & what institutions can be doing to care for their employees
Why investing in your own health & setting boundaries is critical for practitioners and their patients
How the pandemic has caused an unsustainable climate in healthcare that is hurting physicians and how we can change this

2022 Top Replay: Working in Healthcare with PTSD: A Nurses’ Perspective on Managing Mental Illness with RN and Author, Marcie Resendes
REPLAY - Listen in to one of our top episodes from 2022!
Originally released on February 1, 2022: I am joined by Marcie Resendes, Registered Nurse and Author of, ‘If The Brain Could Stop What The Eyes have Seen.’ Marcie shares her story of overcoming being diagnosed with PTSD, how she lives with it and manages it day to day. We also discuss methods of how we can protect ourselves against burnout, leading to mental illness, and overwhelm in the workforce.
About Marcie: “I am a 42-year-old wife, mother to three beautiful children ages 17, 15 and 6. I am a Registered Nurse and proud to say I have been for 21 1⁄2 years. The nursing school Diploma Program at St. Clair College was a struggle, but I had a strong heart and passion to be a nurse; a good kick in the butt from my dad when I was 19 pushed me through.
During the summer of 1998, I volunteered at the Pelee Island Medical Clinic.I worked beside two wonderful nurses who allowed me to observe clinics, minor traumas, and what nursing in an isolated area is. I witnessed head injuries after drunken falls, fractures of bones, sprains and strains, as well as general labs and medical checkups. I loved the opportunity to gain this experience in nursing. It was totally different than at the hospital. I was able to observe how a team (EMS, Police, and Nursing) work together to get the job done. June 18, 1999 was the day my dreams came true: I graduated on the Principal’s Honour Roll. Finally, I could do what I had strived to do: take care of the sick and make them well.
Growing up I had been raised to treat the janitor with the same respect as the CEO of the company. I was told that each team member in a company has a vital job to do each and every day to keep the company running. Little did I know that after 19 1⁄2 years of caring for the sick, wounded, critically injured, dying and mentally unstable would leave me with wounds unrecognizable to the human eye. I attended an appointment with my Nurse Practitioner on January 10, 2019, and that’s when my life changed. I thought I was having a simple return to work appointment after a bout of influenza the week before, but it turned out to be so much more. When Bonnie the Nurse Practitioner walked in and observed me, her first statement changed my whole life: “You Have PTSD”.
Tune in to this week’s episode to learn:
What signs she noticed when something was wrong & what actions she took
How to incorporate self-care not only to your home life but to your work life
What made her decide to write her book and the impact it’s had on others
How we can better the well-being of providers in healthcare
An example of the ABC method: Activating, Belief system and Consequence
How to manage the Fight, Flight or Freeze scenario

Why we Receive Experiences We Don’t Want and How to Change This, with Author & Facilitator, Barry Nicolaou
In this week’s episode, I am joined by Barry Nicolaou, a passionate facilitator of organisational cultural synergy and Best Selling Author. In this enlightening conversation, we discuss why so many of us receive experiences that we don’t want, and how we can change our perspective to have a more positive outlook.
Barry's ability to locate and define his true purpose in assisting others began in 2015. The Inspiration Barry absorbed one fateful day at a cemetery led him to write and publish a #1 Best Selling book on Amazon. His book, The 11 Master Secrets to Business Success and Personal Fulfillment outlines the 11 areas that intersect economic freedom with personal fulfillment.
His forte is in deconstructing the layers beneath cognitive fear, indecision, subconscious paradigms, inherited thinking, habitual thinking and their intimate relationship to real-world expectations and experiences. His presentation on Gratitude Leadership for corporations and numerous mental health programs have been added to his 1-1 work, assisting businesses to take a holistic look at their culture as an 'energy' that feeds straight to the bottom line.
Tune in to this week’s episode to learn:
How our beliefs define our experiences & what this means for our thoughts
What pivotal moment changed Barry’s outlook & what it means to truly live ‘your’ life
The three key elements that form our decisions & how to focus only on what you can control
Where to start when you feel you have no more to give; physically, emotionally or energetically

Recognizing Physician Burnout & How To Recover From It, with Dr. Susan Landers
In this week’s episode, I am joined by Dr. Susan Landers, author, speaker & retired neonatologist. Susan enjoys discussing physician burnout, how she got there, and ways to treat & recover from it.
Susan is a retired neonatologist who worked full-time in the NICU for thirty-four years and raised three children to young adulthood. She served on the faculty of two medical schools, and served in private practice for over twenty years. She achieved many academic and professional accomplishments, and she also encountered challenges along the way, both in her career and in her mothering. There was one particularly difficult event during her midlife, after the birth of her third child, that she had to endure. However, it propelled her to make choices and career changes.
She loves to tell stories that reassure younger mothers to know that they, too, can be a “good enough mother” especially if they work full-time. She supports mothers with her social media posts and her blog. She also cautions physicians and nurses - who might be experiencing serious burnout – about the ways in which it affects their lives and their relationships, and the many ways to treat and recover from burnout. Her new book is “So Many Babies: My Life Balancing a Busy Medical Career and Motherhood.”
We discuss Susan’s own personal journey of experiencing burnout, how she came to recognize it, and how she recovered from it. This experience led her to find her own voice and now works to empower the voices of other physicians on the front lines to find their fulfillment.

In this week’s episode, I am joined by Amanda Kate: a Kinesiologist, Mentor, Life Coach, Mother, and more. While living the life most people would want, with a successful husband, 2 beautiful children, travel, and a nice house; Amanda was miserable and becoming more so as the years went on.

One day, she happened to come across a Kinesiologist and her life changed completely. She had never heard of this modality and was immediately curious. Her first session blew her life apart completely, and she started again. She started studying Kinesiology, so that could help someone the way Kinesiology had helped her. She had made a life worth living and is now happier than ever.
Author of 'Divine. Messy. Human. A Spiritual Guide to Prioritising Internal Truth over External Influence', she released the book with the information, tips, and practices that have helped her move from self-loathing to self-acceptance, self-love, and self-empowerment. A recovering people-pleaser and self-flagellator, she walks the path straddling the Divine and Messy daily. Always growing, developing, and learning new ways of being to, hopefully, one day leave the Earth better than she found it.

Her goal is to help people learn how to live a more enriching life with less stress and more contentment. She has also recently introduced online mindfulness classes to coaching professionals in the United States and Canada and offers online mindfulness courses through Work2Live.

In this week’s episode, I am joined by Dr. John Jurica, MD, MPH, CPE, a family physician with a long history of doing non-clinical work. John was part-time medical director for a family planning clinic and an occupational medicine clinic. He worked as part-time VP for Medical Affairs and full-time Chief Medical Officer at a nonprofit hospital south of Chicago, Illinois for 14 years (total). He left that job to partner with other investors to open an urgent care center, where he serves as medical director. In 2017, he started the weekly Physician Nonclinical Careers Podcast, with 245 episodes so far. John is the co-founder of NewScript, a membership for licensed clinicians with a community, free live streams, and recorded videos, interviews, and other resources to help them thrive in today's healthcare environment, accessible on desktop or phone app. John now devotes most of his time to mentoring, coaching, and teaching physicians how to find and secure nontraditional jobs based on their medical backgrounds and knowledge of the healthcare system in the U.S. and abroad.

How we can Change the Culture Within Healthcare to Sustain Ourselves and Avoid Burnout, with Dr. Joe Sherman, Physician Coach
In this week’s episode, I am joined by Dr. Joe Sherman, a practicing physician for over 35 years, a certified physician coach, an educator, and a former administrator. Joe guides organizations to shift outdated workplace culture into a collective leadership model and assists physicians in one-on-one coaching and group retreats to deliver quality care, succeed in leadership roles, and rediscover fulfillment in their careers. We discuss Joe’s journey in healthcare including what has kept him in the profession for over 35 years, what led to his burnout, his anxiety and depression, and what he is doing to change the culture in the field so that others have a positive experience as physicians.
About Joe: “In 2009, after spending 4 years living and working with a mission organization in Bolivia, I returned to the U.S. and my career as a pediatrician at an academic health center. I soon found the institutional, educational, and patient care demands placed upon me to be overwhelming. This eventually led to burnout and a temporary departure from clinical medicine.
After a year of reflection, discernment, and support from family and friends, I was able to identify my core values and integrate them into my future career decision-making. I returned to part-time pediatric practice while developing the skills to accompany other physicians, individually and in groups, to re-discover their passion for medicine.
Having experienced burnout, myself, I understand the day-to-day struggles health professionals face in trying to provide quality care to their patients while also dealing with the systemic dysfunction of healthcare institutions.
I am now a consultant and coach to individuals and healthcare organizations in the areas of burnout mitigation, leadership, and provider well-being. I am a trained retreat facilitator with the Center for Courage & Renewal, a Master Certified Professional Development Coach with the Physician Coaching Institute, and member of the International Coaching Federation.”
Tune in to this week’s episode to learn:
What the systematic root of the problem in the healthcare field is and how we can address it
How you can make a change on an individual level to get closer to your values & what institutions can be doing to care for their employees
Why investing in your own health & setting boundaries is critical for practitioners and their patients
How the pandemic has caused an unsustainable climate in healthcare that is hurting physicians and how we can change this

Working in Healthcare with PTSD: A Nurses’ Perspective on Managing Mental Illness with RN and Author, Marcie Resendes
In this week’s episode, I am joined by Marcie Resendes, Registered Nurse and Author of, ‘If The Brain Could Stop What The Eyes have Seen.’ Marcie shares her story of overcoming being diagnosed with PTSD, how she lives with it and manages it day to day. We also discuss methods of how we can protect ourselves against burnout, leading to mental illness, and overwhelm in the workforce.
About Marcie: “I am a 42-year-old wife, mother to three beautiful children ages 17, 15 and 6. I am a Registered Nurse and proud to say I have been for 21 1⁄2 years. The nursing school Diploma Program at St. Clair College was a struggle, but I had a strong heart and passion to be a nurse; a good kick in the butt from my dad when I was 19 pushed me through.
During the summer of 1998, I volunteered at the Pelee Island Medical Clinic. I worked beside two wonderful nurses who allowed me to observe clinics, minor traumas, and what nursing in an isolated area is. I witnessed head injuries after drunken falls, fractures of bones, sprains and strains, as well as general labs and medical check ups. I loved the opportunity to gain this experience in nursing. It was totally different than at the hospital. I was able to observe how a team (EMS, Police,and Nursing) work together to get the job done. June 18, 1999 was the day my dreams came true: I graduated on the Principal’s Honour Roll. Finally I could do what I had strived to do: take care of the sick and make them well.
Growing up I had been raised to treat the janitor with the same respect as the CEO of the company. I was told that each team member in a company has a vital job to do each and every day to keep the company running. Little did I know that after 19 1⁄2 years of caring for the sick, wounded, critically injured, dying and mentally unstable would leave me with wounds unrecognizable to the human eye. I attended an appointment with my Nurse Practitioner on January 10, 2019, that’s when my life changed. I thought I was having a simple return to work appointment after a bout of influenza the week before, but it turned out to be so much more. When Bonnie the Nurse Practitioner walked in and observed me, her first statement changed my whole life: “You Have PTSD”.
Tune in to this week’s episode to learn:
What signs she noticed when something was wrong & what actions she took
How to incorporate self-care not only to your home life but to your work life
What made her decide to write her book and the impact it’s had on others
How we can better the well-being of providers in healthcare
An example of the ABC method: Activating, Belief system and Consequence
How to manage the Fight, Flight or Freeze scenario

A Patient's Journey to Being Diagnosed with IBD to Becoming an Empowered Advocate for Crohn's & Colitis Canada, with Crystal McAfee

GoHere App
This free app was created by Crohn's and Colitis Canada. The GoHere initiative partnered with businesses and government buildings to identify accessible washrooms across Canada. This app is a wonderful tool for travelers. Simply input your destination and the app will display accessible washrooms along your route. It also provides a digital Washroom Access Card to quickly explain the medical need to access washrooms.
More information is available on www.GoHere.ca
Crohn’s and Colitis Initiatives
Crohns and Colitis’s advocates against the non-medical switch to biosimilar drugs in the treatment of IBD. The government of Ontario is planning to switch IBD patients onto biosimilar drugs without physician consultation. While we are not opposed to the use of biosimilars for new patients, switching the medication of a patient stable on a biologic can cause a disruption in the patients health. Research has demonstrated more than 1 in 2 people with IBD have experienced changes in their health after being switched to a different medication. Given that our healthcare system is under immense pressure due to the pandemic, we do not feel this is the time to be switching patients to a biosimilar drug and placing additional stress on the health care system.
Ontarians who support us can add their name to an online petition against the biosimilar switch here:
https://crohnsandcolitis.ca/Things-Not-To-Do-During-A-Pandemic
Ontarians who believe patient-doctor choice matters and would like to participate in our letter-writing campaign, can enter their name, email address and postal code into the form below. A letter will be generated and sent to the participants local MPP to indicate they are opposed to the non-medical switch.

Are You Feeling Stuck in a Negative Cycle of Feelings, Outlook, or Experiences?
October 19, 2020
Join me over a glass of water as I chat with you about reflecting on where you are right now and asking yourself if what you're thinking/feeling/experiencing is in alignment with thriving.
If not, it's time to disrupt persistent negative experiences with the following:
1) List 5-10 gratitudes in the AM or PM (both is best!)
2) Connect and write what it is you deeply and specifically desire for your well-being. Be so specific that it feels like you've already obtained it.
3) Focus on what you can control, what you're grateful for, and what you desire (vs. focusing on all that you don't see as going well or what you desire) and attract more of that into your life.

Oct 14, 2020
Join me over a cup of green tea as I chat with you about the powerful impact of self-reflection on your fulfillment, building resilience, and growing your impact.
Self-reflection can begin at a superficial level and evolve more deeply:
1) Start with What/Who...
2) Ask Why...
3) Ask what you could do next time to improve the situation (yes, there will be a next time).
4) Wonder how it makes you a better provider for going through it.

How to Approach Challenging Patient Interactions With Greater Ease EP78
Sept 28, 2020
Join me over a cup of green tea as I chat with you about ways in which you can approach complicated patient interactions with greater ease.
1) Confirm what your patient knows about their medical situation and condition.
2) Be empathetic and choose compassionate solutions that serve your patient best in that moment.
3) Tailor communication in such a way that is clearly understood by your patient. It is okay to rephrase things differently to achieve mutual understanding.
4) Be transparent about what you know as of present with respect to progress & status and offer hope of comfort, progression, or prevention of decline.
5) Ensure your patient/caregiver feels empowered as part of the decision-making process. There is generally always another provider or more who is involved and so, ensuring follow-up if warranted is something you can help to facilitate.

1. In an ideal situation, write down all it is that you want for yourself (income, time, autonomy, patient care time...)
2. Compare what you want to the bigger market of healthcare that you're in. Also, consider your niche and focus that might add to your value as a provider and employee.
3. Consider involving yourself and being open to learning more about the greater system of healthcare and how it impacts your value and delivery of care.
4. No success in your patient care outcomes is too small. Ask yourself: why do patients stay with me? Ask your patients how they are receiving of your services. Those are your successes and value you're offering.

Episode 65: 9 Powerful Ways to Tell if You Could Be on the Road to Burnout
August 12, 2020
Join me over a glass of water as I check-in with you about the importance of checking in with yourself and the signs to look out for that could lead to burnout.
The more we are aware, the better we can prepare and prevent it. Here are some ways to identify if burnout could be creeping into your life: You find yourself needing unplanned rest periods without feeling more energized. You are feeling alone with your feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, cynicism, and decreased motivation. It’s normal to not want to goto work some days, but when this feeling is bringing on more anxiety and it’s becoming more and more frequent, it may be a sign. You are focused more on what is out of your control and losing sight of what is in your control. You are feeling more and more unheard, understood or recognized and are losing motivation. You are unable to manage your emotions (eg, random outbursts of crying or anger...) You are feeling powerless in setting healthy boundaries and may become irritable and resentful of others. You feel like your work has no value and begin to lose your sense of purpose. You are checking out of your personal life and social activities. Can you relate to any of these? I know I can . Which stand out to you? You don’t have to figure this all out alone like I did, which is why I have started my 1:1 online personal coaching to help you align your career with your true passion and purpose.

Episode 23: How Do You Invest More In Yourself?
March 26, 2020
Episode Highlights:
Join me over a cup of tea as I reflect on the classic Jim Rohn quote that has been guiding me for years: "Invest More In Yourself than You Do Your Work." Work takes up the majority of our time, after your working day, do you do more work or do you invest in your own well-being? Self-care is not meant to be methodical, magical, burdening or punishing - it is meant to uplift you.

March 18, 2020
Episode Highlights:
Join me over a glass of water as I chat about the self-empowerment in making choices for yourself every day. Start by asking yourself: Do I have a choice here? Then: Am I making a choice here? One of the greatest regrets we have in life is not making a choice when we had the chance, regardless if it was the right move or not.

Episode 19: 4 Ways to Create More Time for Quality Patient Care
Episode Highlights:
Join me over a glass of water as I briefly chat about 4 ways to create more time to provide high quality care to your patients.
1) Less staff = increased patient:provider ratio = less time spent with patients. Solutions: increase staff or offer greater value (e.g., charging more for your care; investing in non-clinical care, adapting and being flexible)
2) Delegating more tasks.
3) Assess your space: bigger space = bigger expenses and overhead.
4) Practicing with more empathy: there is enough time for everyone - it all balances out if you practice this consistently.

Episode 10: Why Your Purpose Needs Your Attention Now
December 12, 2019
Episode Highlights:
Join me over a glass of chilled water as I reflect on the dynamics of purpose - sometimes I think we can get lost in it because it no longer becomes about ourselves when we are lacking awareness. Purpose is rooted in intention and consistency, it fluctuates and adapts, we can lose ourselves in it, but it's always at the centre of who we are and what we do every day.

Episode 5: Where Introverts Excel in Healthcare Communication
November 6, 2019
Episode Highlights:
Drink of choice - Jade Citrus Tea (Starbucks)
I was fired up for this podcast because I myself am introvert
My analysis on why introverts were more classified as having a more difficult time with communication skills education
Does it really make sense to evaluate communication skills using a checklist when introverts strive for connection and meaningful conversation?
My recommendation: rather than assessing output of skills as they pertain to communication, assess for authenticity and connection
Repeat this over and over - in real time and live - inside and outside of the classroom - and become empathetic, etc. rather than "learn" it.
Pay attention to the patient's engagement, rather than just the skill outputted by the student/professional

Learn how she adds a human touch and creates a safe space for her patients in the clinical environment
She also speaks specifically of her favourite read, "Attached" - which has helped her to understand and analyze how attachment styles could enhance her own self-awareness and how it can help her patients recognize the impact of social factors on healing

October 13, 2019
Episode Highlights: Who I am and my thoughts and experiences on:
Why healthcare provider creativity, community, collaboration, and self-care can help boost happiness
Why healthcare provider vulnerability should feel safe and professional
How healthcare provider shared experiences can enhance connection with patients to unlock their potential to feel self-empowered
How to help patients beyond just the physical direct care
How a mindset and passion of growth can have mass impact, creating a comprehensive experience
Connection, communication, empathy, understanding, and reflection are ways to have a global impact on patient care

Refocus on our own personal development to develop resiliency, fulfillment, responsibility, and autonomy
