Signature Topics

BURNOUT = BENT but not BROKEN: Finding Joy Again
  • A candid look at how burnout can take over like a clandestine thief in the night. The unsuspecting victim sinks deeper and deeper into the abyss often times without even knowing it. Burnout is ubiquitous and is a known marauder of joy. This talk takes you on a journey through the eyes of a personal account of burnout, provides background on identifying burnout, and ways forward towards thriving.
  • Takeaways:
    1. You are not at fault if you go through or are going through burnout
    2. Practical means of assessing your current status on the burnout-resiliency continuum are provided
    3. There are ways forward out of burnout that facilitates thriving
  • Target Audience: Professional conferences, Womens’ Conferences, Womens’ Groups, Wellness Conferences, Professional Development Symposia

JOB SATISFACTION = Happy Doctor, Happy Patient
  • Compassion fatigue plagues many in the business of serving others. Doctors are particularly vulnerable due to compartmentalizing the microtraumas that they experience during any given shift, OR day, or clinic day.
  • This often is manifested as a disconnect during the patient encounter which leads to decreased patient satisfaction
  • Practical ways to identify what is causing loss of joy with interventions
  • Takeaways:
    1. Loss of joy in medicine is multifaceted
    2. Targeting the cause of joy loss is key to a successful intervention
    3. Intervening on the nidus for joy loss results in better patient-doctor interactions
  • Target Audience: Physician Groups, Physician Conferences, Physician Wellness

ENTREPRENEURSHIP = DOCS Make Great Entrepreneurs
  • Medical training is not directly analogous to business training by any means
  • Entrepreneurship requires a skillset and characteristics that are unique to be successful
  • Some medical specialties allow for out of the box thinking, adaptability, and grit which parallels the traits of successful entrepreneurs
  • Target Audience: Physician Groups, Physician Conferences

 

FEAR = Facing FEAR fuels Success
  • False Emotions About Reality – when we come to grips with our emotions surrounding our fears, we are better equipped to have a mindful way forward for facing fear
  • Face Everything And Rise – confronting the fear that is not an immediate life or limb threat is the expediated path to personal growth and limitless success
  • Practical examples of how to confront the fears that hold us back from our true greatness
