Are you feeling mired in back-and-forth arguments as to what to do in your medical career? 😩   Know that something needs to change, but your mind keeps throwing in reasons as to why you should actually just sit tight and do nothing?   It’s confusing, isn’t it? 😣   Imagine having a very clear picture of what you would really like instead of the current status quo.   You may not yet be completely clear on this – and it’s a lot easier to move forwards when you work this out. 👉   Imagine knowing how to effectively explore the ways to turn what you want into reality, without feeling underwhelmed or overwhelmed by the options.   And feeling confident in managing the counter-arguments that your mind will inevitably throw in along the way. 💡   Imagine getting back your headspace and energy so that you can crack on with enjoying life.   This is the work I do with doctors, so that they can feel confident in making good choices and not be held back by fear of making a mistake or regret. 😅   So, if you’re feeling stuck and want more than this from life, drop me a message.   You just need to be committed to making some changes, small or big, and I will support you all the way. 🙌 #doctors #medicalcareers #careerdirection #lifedesign #generalpractitioners  

Are you a medical doctor who feels exhausted, working harder and harder, stuck in the hamster wheel, getting nowhere? Wasn't it supposed to get easier once you were a consultant? The culture of medicine promotes hard work for sure. Working longer hours does not prove that you're a good doctor. It's fair enough to think it might. All your training has encouraged hard work and long hours. If working harder was the answer, most doctors would feel successful by their mid career. So how come that's the biggest group of doctors who are seeking our help? If you're in your late thirties or forties working in multiple roles, fifty plus hours a week, no time to see your family, exercise, or relax, then you know this story all too well. If working harder was all it took, many more doctors would feel fulfilled, but they aren't. They feel disillusioned and let down by the system. The better answer is not more work and study and can be achieved in a few hours working with a great coach who understands high achievers and working in pressurized environments. Being a great doctor is more about art and science than it is about hard labor. We've helped hundreds of doctors like you.

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

My graduation day 16 years ago brought with it an overwhelming sense of relief. Not because I was done with school, but because I’d decided to make a huge career pivot. I had finally jumped off the moving train that was a career in medicine, something I felt disconnected from within the first few weeks of medical school. As I walked across the stage to receive my diploma, the Dean told me he hoped I would come back to medicine. Several classmates expressed I was making a mistake, having wasted four years and many thousands of dollars. My family continues to tell me that if I just do four more years of residency training, I could have a “good job.” I’ve never looked back, and as I see many people experiencing burnout in medicine and many other careers, I would make this choice again in a heartbeat. I hear from many clients about this sunk cost fallacy (I’ve already spent X years and Y dollars on my career, so I should just keep going). They don’t want to start over with something new, even if it’s their dream. The biggest lesson I’ve learned is that you are NEVER starting over from zero. Your experience and skills can form the foundation for a completely new and different career. Life is too short to keep doing the thing you hate. Considering a career pivot yourself? I’m happy to chat. #careerpivot #physicianburnout #workplaceabuserecovery

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

🌟 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

"I don't understand how I got here." Are you an unfulfilled healthcare professional? Maybe you started your schooling, training, and early career with so much passion and zest for taking care of patients, connecting with them on a deep level, and using your skills and intellect to help them heal and recover. Now you feel like you're on autopilot, just going through the motions. You're disenchanted. Emotionally depleted. Feeling like what you do on a day to day basis doesn't matter. And secretly you're wondering if it will EVER feel differently. You imagine doing the same thing for the next 20-30 years, and worry you'll be dissatisfied and unfulfilled. You feel a mix of sadness, resentment, anxiety, and hopelessness. You're not alone. Feeling unfulfilled as a healthcare professional is 100% understandable. If this is you, I encourage you to ask yourself today: **What initially drew me to pursue a career in healthcare/medicine? **What aspects of my daily job fill me up? **What aspects of my day to day drain me? **What is one small change, that if it was possible, would really help me to feel more fulfilled in my current job? Share your reflections and thoughts below!
