As summer approaches, physicians and high income medical professionals face the challenge of balancing work and personal well-being. This season offers an opportunity to focus on self-care, including financial wellness. Financial stability reduces stress, improves health, and provides greater personal freedom. It allows physicians to achieve work-life balance, pursue passions, and make impactful choices. To achieve financial wellness, physicians can work with financial professionals, track their expenses, develop debt reduction strategies, and continue their financial education. Financial wellness significantly impacts overall well-being, allowing physicians to provide quality care, maintain personal health, and enjoy a more fulfilling life. What fun activities do you have scheduled for this summer?

I believe there are 4 ingredients to a great first meeting. These are things everyone has control over. And when they're done right, people remember us weeks and months later. I shared these 4 ingredients with undergraduate students interning at UC Davis Health. They used these to build relationships with doctors, nurses, and administrators, which led to mentorship opportunities. What are the 4 ingredients to great first meetings? 1. EYE CONTACT - to show full focus on the person we're meeting 2. A SMILE - to be welcoming and open to conversation 3. FIRM HANDSHAKE - to share our energy and excitement for the meeting 4. UPRIGHT POSTURE - to give respect to the occasion What would you add for a 5th ingredient?

🙏🏻 Feeling grateful today that I get to work with this lovely bunch 🙏🏻 Monday Motivation with Julian White, Carole Lee, Shauna Burns Angela Corbett and Adam Hugill 👇🏻 We spent the morning reviewing our faculty careers priorities and workloads. It’s been a monster project but I think we’re nearly there! 💡 Takeaway: It was a timely reminder of all the fantastic work happening across our teams. This project will help us to better align with our strategy and to be clearer on what we do and why. It was a simple pleasure to take time out to spend lunch together, made a busy day brighter. 💡 Takeaway: I had forgotten how delicious a jacket potato with cheese and beans is! This afternoon we continued with our Senior Fellow Higher Education Academy applications, finalising our experience grids and supporting each other with practice professional dialogue questions. 💡 Takeaway: Don’t overlook what may seem obvious - it might not be so for everyone else. Oh, and to brag a bit more. We need to proudly showcase the work we are doing. Cheers, Christopher Little for the motivation and sound advice

Going In-House: “Toto, We're Not in Kansas Anymore.” When I moved to Austin, Texas, to work in an office, I found myself preferring late hours when distractions were minimal. I often stayed until the lights were off and vacuums were running, even notifying janitorial staff that I was still there. I found working during business hours with so many people distracting, working after hours allowed me to get get my head down and crank out everything I needed to get done. Moving in-house was a big culture shift. In the field, it was the Wild West—"just do it and ask for forgiveness later." I expected my ideas to be implemented immediately, with no understanding of cross-collaboration or the need for input from marketing, regulatory, or compliance. The slower pace and bureaucratic hurdles were frustrating. For instance, a simple flyer could take weeks to finalize, with multiple rounds of revisions because someone preferred one word over another. It seemed like a waste of time. This experience taught me the critical importance of cross-departmental teamwork. I initially believed I had to handle everything on my own since I was an individual contributor and no one on my immediate team shared my specific role expectations. However, I quickly realized that my true teammates were in other departments. Education was ultimately part of marketing, and their input was crucial to ensure our programs aligned with the overall strategy and messaging. I had no idea at first and ruffled a lot of feathers. I often reflect on how I would have done things differently back then. The unnecessary pressure I placed on myself was eye-opening, and learning to work and rely on others was a humbling yet valuable lesson. That first year in-house was full of learning. I had little direction, no onboarding, and no SOPs but managed to develop crucial education programs for CardioMEMS and fought to include education for APPs, a group often overlooked in terms of ROI. Despite the challenges, I made it happen, and these programs became vital to our education portfolio. As I mentioned in a previous post, change is constant in this industry. During my first year, St. Jude Medical acquired Thoratec, and just over a year later, we were acquired by Abbott. A new role opened up to manage a small team of education program managers, and I applied and got the position. Stay tuned for the next post…

It is estimated that the average person will spend one-third of their life at work. That is roughly 90,000 hours at work over your lifetime. Knowing this, there are two things you should always focus on when it comes to work and your career. You have to love what you do and really enjoy and care about the people you work with. When I read this quote I realize how fortunate I am to be working at Catapult Health.

A great combination of practical guidance (avoiding pitfalls in stakeholder engagement) and some very big ideas (drawing on your human rights practices to address challenges in political responsibility). Includes tips on applying the Erb Principles for Corporate Political Responsibility. A timely and worthwhile read!
