But if you're feeling stuck or undervalued, let's talk. I'm here to help you reconnect with your purpose and elevate your career and your life. 🚨‼️Don’t wait for change, CREATE IT.

Many physicians closely associate their personal identity with their profession. The demands of our jobs can be all-consuming and require immense dedication. Our training, commitment, sense of purpose, and societal expectations cause many of us to not just see medicine as what we do but rather who we are. As we wrap our identities up in our profession, we often lose track of our other interests. The activities we previously enjoyed are set aside to focus on professional achievements and success. As a result, setbacks or challenges at work frequently lead to an impaired sense of well-being, a lack of fulfillment and satisfaction with our work, and physician burnout. On this Labor Day, take a break from your work to think about what you enjoy. ❓ Who are you beyond the realm of medicine? ❓ What hobbies do you enjoy outside of work? ❓ Is there something you’ve been meaning to try? ❓ What do your relationships look like, and are there ways you hope to improve or change them? What will be left when the work titles and job tasks fade away? You’ve always been more than a physician. Don’t forget to explore all of the unique and amazing things that make you, you. Have you ever taken a moment to think about what you genuinely want in life? What are you retiring to? What are your goals, hopes, and dreams? There's no better time to start planning.

If you want different results, do something different.   You are not going to get a different outcome by doing the same thing as before.   The new year sets as a great reminder that you can start something new, something different. New beginnings. The important thing is to keep at it. Be persistent and consistent.   If you are a physician who is spending extra hours on doing patient charts, bringing your work home, this will not change unless you do something different.   Change how you manage your day, mentally and physically.   Question your belief that this is the only way (unless you change your job).   Change the sequence of charting and other clinical operations.   Change the volume of charting.   Change the rhythm of charting.   Change the interaction with patients and change team work in the clinic – without going against your values.   There are so many possibilities to achieve a different outcome, to finish your charts faster.   If you are ready to make the commitment for change, so that you can go home sooner from work with your charts completed, message me to find out how I can help you.   Change may be scary. Without change, there will not be a better tomorrow. #reflect #newyear #newbeginnings #timeefficiency #chartingefficiency #transformation #breakthrough #enjoythejourney #leaveworkatwork #goforyourdream #goforyourgoals #lifecoaching #physiciancoaching #enjoylife #enjoymedicine

✨ Life changes in an instant ✨ Two weeks ago, on Wednesday, July 10th – my favourite day of the week – everything seemed perfect. The day before, I had finished my final master's exams, and my mum's medical appointment had gone well. Singing Suede's "Beautiful Ones," I felt on top of the world, ready for the holiday week. And then, I was visited by the unexpected. 🚗 Mr. Unexpected: I had a car crash, and though it was through no fault of my own, it was sudden and shocking, but what followed was truly remarkable. I was supported with exceptional care by INEM - Instituto Nacional de Emergência Médica, I.P. and the Serviço Nacional de Saúde (#SNS), especially the incredible professionals at Hospital de São José (#CHULC). ❤️ Public Praise: From the moment I arrived, I was treated with utmost respect, compassion, and professionalism. The medical staff, including João, Hugo, and Dra. Joana, was incredibly attentive, ensuring all my concerns were addressed and that I felt comfortable throughout that evening. Their #empathy made a significant difference in my #experience. 🙏 Thank You: Your efforts do not go unnoticed, and I am profoundly grateful for the care and support I received. The dedication and commitment of our public healthcare system's staff go above and beyond, making a positive impact on patients' lives every day. 🌱 How many times can we restart? As many as we need, 'we're absolute beginners'. I have already returned to work, all up and running. Feeling and doing great. Scientific research brings evidence that cooperation and support amplify our #emotional #perseverance. So, what are we waiting for? As Joan Didion said, "Life changes in the instant. The ordinary instant." P.S. Not forgetting family, friends, and colleagues, but these personify the image: 🔨 break in case of emergency. #weareonlyhuman #humanleague® #PlayingatHumanLeague® #humanexperience #human #employeeexperience #employeengagement #organizationalwellbeing #corporatewellbeing #positivepsychology #corporatewellness #neuroscience #emotions #emotionalhealth #emotionsatwork #emotionsmatter #wellbeing #wellbeingatwork #HumanResources #HR #RH

Looking at Your Day Under a Microscope As healthcare professionals, our days are often a blur of EPR, rounds, procedures, and documentation. The relentless pace can leave us feeling depleted, struggling to find moments of joy or fulfillment in the daily grind. But what if we paused, took a step back, and examined our day under a microscope? Sometimes it's the smallest details, the briefest interactions, that harbor beauty and remind us why we embarked on this noble path. It could be the warm smile and heartfelt "thank you" from a patient on the pain round. That fleeting second when you grasped a difficult concept that had previously eluded you. Or the satisfying click of completing one more item on your to-do list. These infinitesimal bright spots are so easy to overlook when we're laser-focused on checking boxes and making it to the end of our shift. But if we practice being mindful, we can train ourselves to recognize and savor these tiny pockets of success and fulfillment throughout each day. It's how we rewire our perspective, tempering the constant deluge of stress and burnout with an appreciation for the privileged role we play in our patients' lives. It's how we remind ourselves that our work has profound meaning, even when the chaos threatens to obscure that truth. So I challenge you to be on the lookout for your microscopic joys today. Pause, take a breath, and let them recharge your spirit, even if just for a moment. Remind yourself why you embarked on this noble calling in the first place. We have the most demanding yet meaningful jobs in the world. Don't let the bigger picture get lost in the daily grind. Find your microscopic joys, and let them be the lens that brings everything else into focus. If you're struggling to find those bright spots or regain your sense of professional satisfaction, I'm here to help. As a clinician and life coach, I work with healthcare professionals like you to rediscover joy in medicine and achieve the rewarding career you envisioned. DM me if you need someone in your corner.

🌟 Reflecting on the First Five Days Post-Career: A Journey of Discovery and Dreams 🌟 As I stepped away from my professional routine, a routine that defined my days for years, the initial sense of being 'idle' was somewhat disorienting. The sudden quiet after the storm of daily responsibilities left me feeling unexpectedly adrift. Yet, this silence brought an opportunity—a chance to dive deep into my journals and reflections that have been companions of my thoughts and ideas over the past three years. What a journey it has been! 📔✨ During this time, I've rediscovered not only the gratitude I hold for each moment spent caring for my patients but also an underlying frustration that echoed through my entries. Despite the joy and satisfaction derived from impacting individual lives, there lingered a consistent yearning—to influence broader systemic change in healthcare delivery and improve outcomes on a larger scale. 🔍 As I reflect and journal more during these days of introspection, one thing becomes increasingly clear: my commitment to healthcare is evolving. It's not just about treating patients anymore; it's about transforming the system. My dream is to shift from making a difference one patient at a time to impacting the entire fabric of healthcare delivery. As I continue on this journey of self-discovery and professional evolution, I am excited about the possibilities that lie ahead. Here's to new beginnings, to dreams that push us forward, and to the courage to pursue them. Let's reshape the future of healthcare together. 💪🏥 #CareerChange #HealthcareInnovation #Reflections #NewBeginnings

Reflecting on My First Revalidation After 5 Years as a GP 🌟 📆This past week marked a significant milestone for me as I completed my first revalidation after five years in general practice. It's been a whirlwind journey filled with growth, challenges, and invaluable learning experiences. 📈Reflecting on the process, I've found that introspection through reflection has its pros and cons. It's been a powerful tool for personal and professional growth, allowing me to identify strengths and areas for improvement. ❌However, it also requires vulnerability and honesty with oneself, which can sometimes be challenging. 💙I'm grateful for the guidance of my appraiser, who has been instrumental in this journey. Their insights and discussions on professional development goals have been invaluable, shaping my path forward in patient care and practice management. 🙌One of the highlights of the week was catching up with @Modupe, whose wealth of experience in public health is truly inspiring. We delved into topics like health promotion, prevention strategies, and optimizing care for our local population. Every conversation with Modupe is refreshing and enlightening, reminding me of the broader impact we can make in healthcare. 🧘Over the last two years, I've prioritised work-life balance in my Personal Development Plan (PDP). It's been a journey of self-discovery and finding harmony between my professional responsibilities and personal well-being. This focus has not only improved my satisfaction at work but also enhanced patient care by ensuring I'm at my best. 💙I hope you are all keeping well, as the weather gets ever so colder and kids go back to school. Please prioritise yourself, and your health both mental and physical, no matter what LinkedIn tells you! #primarycare #weeklyreview #Elmtree

Balancing a career in medicine with being a mother is no small feat, but it’s absolutely possible. As a medical professional, I understand firsthand the challenges of managing patient care, long hours, and family life. But here’s the truth: You can be an amazing mom and doctor at the same time. It’s all about a few key factors: 1. Support Systems – Surround yourself with people who uplift you, both at work and at home. Whether it’s family, friends, or colleagues, having a strong network is essential. 2. Time Management – Prioritize what matters. Organizing your day around both your professional responsibilities and family ensures that you can give your best to both. 3. Flexibility – Medicine can be demanding, but there are career paths within the field that allow for more flexible hours. It’s important to find a balance that works for you. 4. Self-Care – To give to others, you have to take care of yourself first. Prioritize your physical and mental health, so you can show up fully for your patients and your family. 5. Resilience – There will be challenging moments, but resilience is key. You’ll need perseverance and a strong sense of purpose to navigate this path successfully. For young women considering or already in the medical field: Don’t let the fear of “choosing” between career and family hold you back. You can excel in both. It’s about being intentional with your time and having the confidence that you’re capable of doing it all. I’m proud to be both a doctor and a mom of four wonderful young adults and I hope to inspire others to see that you don’t have to sacrifice one for the other. It’s possible to have a fulfilling career in medicine and nurture a beautiful family life at the same time. #WomenInMedicine #WorkLifeBalance #MedicalCareer #HealthcareLeadership #MomAndDoctor #TimeManagement #Resilience #InspirationForWomen #SupportSystems #FutureDoctors #MedicalProfessionals #CareerAndFamily #MentorshipInMedicine #DrTanyaClarke

Day 12: What if I Recorded Every Single Day of My Life? Let’s get real for a moment—what’s your vision? 🌟LinkedIn A lot of people are on a journey, but with no clear direction. Whether you’re a nurse, doctor, engineer, or entrepreneur, the question is: where are you headed? Sure, you may have a job title, but do you have a vision for how far you can take it? Or are you just going through the motions, letting life happen to you? Here’s a simple scenario to think about: Two nurses start their careers at the same time. One does the basics, clocks in and out, and repeats. The other has a vision—whether it’s becoming a specialist, starting a healthcare initiative, or writing a book to inspire others. They set goals, work hard, face challenges, but keep pushing. A few years later, one has made a significant impact, while the other is still in the same place. The difference? Vision and the will to achieve it. This applies to everyone, in every profession—your vision is your compass. It might be hard, and not everyone will believe in it, but if you stick to it and set goals, it will become a reality. That’s why some people in the same field make waves, while others just float along. So, what’s driving you? What impact do you want to make, and how are you planning to get there? #LinkedInChallenge #Day12 #VisionIsEverything #SetGoals #MakeAnImpact #NursingJourney #EveryDayCounts #DriveAndDetermination
