Supporting doctors to work out what to do with their career so that they can get back to enjoying life. 1:1 coaching and workshops.

R is for readiness. Felt miserable in your medical career for a while, keep on thinking about making some changes but then keep on concluding that you’re not quite ready? 🤔   That your next bit of annual leave, that new qualification, some hot tips on time management, will make all the difference.   That maybe if you just sit it out for a bit longer, the pressures inherent within the system will somehow miraculously sort themselves out.   One of the biggest tips I would give you (& wish I had known myself when I was in this situation) is to start exploring your options BEFORE you feel ready.   Because, truthfully, you will never feel 100% ready.   Just like you didn’t on your first day on the wards.   And your mind is more invested in drawing your attention to the short-term discomfort associated with choosing to make some changes, regardless of size, than to the longer-term discomfort of choosing not to make any changes.   Meanwhile, life is whizzing on by, and you don’t get this time back.   So, if you don’t feel ready and would like a free, no-obligation chat, drop me a message or link to my calendar is in the comments. #readiness #takeaction #changes #careerdirection #nhs

Absolutely, readiness is crucial when contemplating career changes. It's like they say, "The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now." Taking that first step, even when you don't feel entirely prepared, can often lead to the most rewarding outcomes. Dr Sally Hambly Thanks for sharing these insights. They are really helpful
