Learn how to maximise your chance of success each time you interact with another person. Grab the attention of the people you want, and get them to do what you want. Like a surgeon!

The biggest setbacks in a surgical career often come from trying to do too much at once... Here's how to avoid that trap: If a surgeon tries to manage multiple demanding tasks at once, like overseeing several complex cases in a short period, they’ll likely make mistakes. But if they focus on one case at a time, they can ensure the best outcomes. This teaches an important lesson: The worst career mistakes happen when you're stretched too thin, trying to juggle too many tasks at once. Many think success comes from doing it all, but true success in surgery comes from focusing on one thing at a time. Spreading yourself too thin can look like this: • Trying to learn several surgical techniques at once • Balancing too many clinical and research responsibilities • Skipping further training because of a heavy workload These habits might seem manageable now but can harm your career in the long run. Reflect on your career: 1. Where are you overextending yourself? 2. What can you stop doing to focus better? 3. What changes can you make to improve your focus and performance? Use these insights to sharpen your focus and succeed in your surgical career. - - - - - - Join Beyond the Scrubs Waitlist It is a community that helps you enjoy life both in and out of your scrubs, where your job is only part of your story. https://lnkd.in/eUrtJRKZ

Friends in the Industry - First, I hope you’re having an amazing weekend, relaxing with those you care for most. For those operating over the long weekend, I continue to be grateful for your efforts and for the impact you continue to have on the lives of many. As I’ve highlighted prior, Sunday morning is my favourite time of the week for reading & self reflection. This morning, guidance shared in my current reading, highlights one of my favourite concepts: being in the zone. The Leader’s Mind, written by Jim Afremow with Phil White, highlights key perspectives from Katrina Firlick MD, Neurosurgeon and Cofounder of HealthPrize Technologies. Katrina goes on to describe how complicated a surgery can be, with many different professionals required to be involved. From different surgeons, nurses, and possibly paramedics. But in the chaos of it all, she describes how they’re able to be in the zone. I love being in the zone, and appreciate the expertise and care it takes to help this feeling to become a reoccurring reality. Being in the zone doesn’t mean things are perfect, by any means, but it does provide an opportunity for people to work towards a common goal and navigate the journey together - a journey that feels a lot smoother, and essentially, easier. This has me considering the feeling of being in the zone, as I reflect on the impact our team has made over the last year & a half in the transportation industry. While the challenges we navigate are far different than those of a surgeon, I believe a similar mindset applies to helping us overcome challenges, as we are aligned in our efforts for a common goal. There are many more gold nuggets shared in this incredible book, which I’ll elaborate on at another time. I encourage you to consider what “being in the zone” means in your journey, and who can you thank for helping make it happen. I hope you have a great weekend! #AMTA #IndustryAdvocates #Growth #Goals #Leadership #ShiftingOurPerspective #Reading #SuccessInTransportation Rob D. Dave Elniski Chad Albert Kristin Picken, CTSP

On the most recent Medscape survey, a little over a third of physicians do some work outside of their medical practice, whether medically-related or not. While some are pursuing a "passion project" or other interest, most commenters indicate that the motivation behind their side gigs is simple: they need or want to make more money. Do you have a side hustle? Is it medical or not? What's your main motivation? #physician #financialliteracy #financialeducation #personalfinance #buildingwealth #physicianincome #sidegigs #sidehustle #moonlighting #medscape #wci

Seven months ago, I started a job I knew virtually nothing about. Here's how it's going today: My PhD is in Developmental Psychology - I studied babies for over a decade. Today, I am a human factors engineer at a medical device company, building technology to assist orthopedic surgeons. It was an enormous career pivot. Now, it's performance review season at Arthrex, where we write a self-assessment before getting feedback from our manager. Since this is my first FTE position, this is also my first performance review (ever). Writing my assessment, I felt the imposter syndrome... I had started my role with essentially no prior experience in medical devices, human factors engineering, or orthopedic surgery. I felt so behind. I still have so much to learn. Fortunately, I had kept a list of all the work I did over the past 7 months, and how it aligned with our corporate goals and our team's key result areas. I was surprised at the length of my list: • I had created technical file reports for regulatory submissions, usability plans, device use specifications, research protocols and reports, and risk management documents for over 10 different product lines. • I created a flowchart and guide for completing our technical file reports and complaint analyses, leading to 50% decrease in time required to create these reports (80-120 hours per file from 160-240 hours). This is the power of a having a PhD. You're an expert learner. You can get thrown into the deep end and figure it out, fast. You're stubborn and resourceful and don't give up when things feel hard - even if you're starting from square one. I'm just getting started - can't wait for next year :) P.S. - Thank you to Jonathan Knopf for taking a chance on me last year (+ getting me this sweet jacket) 💛

Prioritising the right patient problem… When your patient has more than one issue. Wouldn’t it be nice if patients came into the clinic and had one problem! So many have multiple problems, even more, when you consider possible co-morbidities and associated compensatory strategies. So how do you proioritise to make sure you are treating the right thing?

“The most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history.” GEORGE ORWELL This just struck me as also applying to our world in the evolution of primary eye care. Do we understand our historical goals and direction or are they being compromised? What do you think?

The toughest decision I had to make after failing the L3 was whether to leave the job or not for a second attempt. And I decided to leave. Do I regret it? Kind of yes. Although there were many other reasons for taking that decision, like eye surgery, I was not satisfied with my work either. I wouldn't suggest leaving the job for the exam. The reason being that, first, the recruiter doesn't like it. There are many other students who are managing their work and studies together. I agree that everyone has their own pace, and our goal is to clear the exam first. But then you also need to accept that this is all about the market value of your profile. Second, unless you are not getting two hours to study on weekdays, you can decide to leave. I do not promote hustle culture; it's just that reality hits differently afterwards. Third, if you have some other plans for yourself along with the exam, then you can think about it. I had some plans for me, but those didn't turn out well. But I tried. I wanted to write this before taking the exam only because, when I look at the past six months, I feel I could have done better. However, this is coming from my personal experience, and exam stress may bias the opinion, so please take it with a pinch of salt.
