Season 3 of the smash hit FX/Hulu show “The Bear” roared to life just days ago, but Will Poulter (the actor who plays fan-favorite Luca) and 2014 F&W Best New Chef Dave Beran had been prepping for weeks. Poulter — like his co-star Jeremy Allen White — staged with Beran at his Santa Monica restaurant Pasjoli to learn how to accurately portray a professional chef onscreen. The lessons went so well, Beran says he’d hire Poulter as a cook — even despite a messy mishap with a pastry bag. The two dished all about getting kitchen culture right on and offscreen, what it takes to be at the top of your craft, and the pure magic of a great restaurant service.

Explore calling & what nourishes you in medicine with Adele Wang 55:11

לפני 2 years55:11

Pay attention to the personal and organizational factors that erode well-being, drive burnout, and make strategic changes to nourish yourself and your team. “I’ve finally found my passion!” Not every day, my patients walk into my office smiling, but it’s delightful when it happens. I’d been working with this guy for a while, focusing on mindful self-awareness and kicking his people-pleasing habit. I never intended to help him find his passion, but it happened when he began paying attention to what was genuinely fulfilling. Addressing burnout requires that we toggle between the personal and the organizational. Paying attention to what is fulfilling and deeply meaningful to you and me while at the same time working to address barriers to equitable distribution of workload, leadership practices that erode trust, and challenges that interfere with building community at the team level. The way we’re working isn’t working. So how do we step out of the frame and change how we work to create a system nourishing for us and everyone in our healthcare organizations? Tune in to learn: What simple changes will help you realign with your passion for medicine What questions to ask to transform your experience as a healer How to help your team reconnect with passion every day Bio: Adele Wang is an integrative health provider who also mentors professional people struggling with anxiety and physical manifestations of stress. In her current practice, she focuses on helping healthcare providers realign themselves with their passions in life and medicine. Adele is also the host of the All Things Human podcast .…

Earn trust by promoting autonomy with Dr. Mayan Bomsztyk 30:33

Earn employees' trust by giving them a life-giving workplace. I’d been waiting to catch the attention of my chief of staff all morning. I finally had her on my screen. With my headphones on, I didn’t notice the office door creak open until a glitter-encrusted wand was thrust in my face. I was mortified, but she responded graciously, “I have kids too.” COVID reminded us of our humanity and removed the work-life separation so many of us were used to. So, let’s use that lesson to reshape how we think about healthcare to create life-giving work and resilient workplaces for frontline employees and leaders in healthcare. I sat down with Dr. Mayan Bomsztyk and asked her to share her thoughts on building trust between executives and frontline clinicians and improving employees' happiness in healthcare workplaces. Her big takeaway, learn the proper lessons from COVID to reconnect with the big picture and reprioritize what is fulfilling about working in healthcare for your frontline. While she no longer supervises frontline staff, she is still constantly thinking about the needs of her frontline staff. She shared how she approaches frontline concerns at the executive level. Here are some of her recommendations: 1. Rebalance work duties so employees can thrive. 2. Make allowances for humanity at work. 3. Consider the big picture when looking at metrics. 4. Go the extra mile to re-engage your people and promote change. **This is a replay of Menders episode 1, originall published in April of 2022.

Use Intuitive Eating to reprioritize yourself with Victoria Yates 48:08

לפני 2 years48:08

48:08

If you’re a woman in leadership struggling to prioritize yourself, try Intuitive Eating as a first step to honoring yourself. You can't be the woman in leadership your people need you to be without prioritizing self-care. One of the things that women leaders mention is the difficulty they have prioritizing taking time for themselves, especially when that is not being encouraged in their work environment. Leaders (especially women) feel time pressured as they balance the many needs of everybody else: their organization, employees, and family. In this busy context, self-care can feel unimportant. Victoria and I discussed how the difficulty prioritizing self-care applies to women's relationships with food and their bodies. You can learn to nourish yourself and your body as you care for yourself, both as, just as humans, as women, as women in leadership, or just as women in healthcare. Prioritizing yourself can feel selfish, so you may sometimes feel guilty for making yourself a priority. But as Victoria points out, this all-or-nothing mindset of self-denial and service to others is exhausting and problematic. The sweet spot is somewhere in the middle. Listen to learn: - The fundamentals of the intuitive eating framework - How intuitive eating relates to self-care principles - Why diet culture is so harmful to women and the health of the body - How to prioritize time for yourself when you are incredibly busy - Why prioritizing pleasure is healthy for the body - How self-awareness will reduce your risk of burnout Watch a clip on YouTube Read more on my blog Bio: Victoria Yates is a registered nurse, and an intuitive eating coach focused on helping women with issues surrounding food and their bodies. Victoria cares about helping women to care for and nourish themselves and develop more calm confidence with who they are and their approach to caring for themselves and their bodies.

Lead with self-awareness and mindfulness to keep your leadership presence in difficult times. As a psychologist, much of my time is spent teaching people how to regulate their emotions. You could call this skill learning how to manage stress, distress tolerance, or create breathing space under pressure. Leaders need three skills to stay calm and maintain leadership presence in difficult situations. Mindful emotional awareness Flexible thinking Values-aligned action I use these skills to calm my out-of-control emotional response when my preschooler is obnoxious, with a challenging patient, and when I give or receive difficult feedback. These are also foundational skills for effective leadership. Transformational leaders are connected to their own emotional experiences and have the emotional capacity to connect with and acknowledge their team members’ emotions too.

Leaders Are Trained Not Born. It is time to include leadership development as a core component of healthcare training. Our trainees may have innate leadership skills and qualities, but leadership can also be taught. And as we work to create institutions that reflect our communities, we must equip trainees from diverse backgrounds with the leadership skills our organizations need. Your trainees and up-and-coming leaders in your organization will benefit from learning to appreciate how their strengths and unique attributes help them to become leaders.

Address structural bias to elevate underrepresented employees as leaders within healthcare organizations. There is a representation gap in healthcare leadership. People with diverse identities and historically marginalized tend to be underrepresented in the pool of applicants presenting for executive positions in healthcare organizations. Many things must change, including the structural elements reinforcing bias and underrepresentation. Dr. Chamarlyn Fairley and I had the opportunity to explore these ideas in our recent conversation about how to diversify the pipeline to executive leadership positions in healthcare. Listen to her tips on increasing diversity, reducing bias, and strengthening leadership capacity in your healthcare system: Increase leadership capacity by developing diverse leaders within your organization. Reduce bias in your hiring and selection process. Let go of stereotypes to identify future leaders.

Invest in employee engagement. You don’t have to compromise your bottom line to create a healthy workplace. You can create change in your healthcare organization when your employees have disengaged.

Use mindful leadership to address moral injury with Colleen Camenisch 48:03

48:03

Mindful leaders know that forcing mindfulness on their employees won’t solve burnout in healthcare. There is a common misconception about mindfulness popular with healthcare clinicians and leadership. We have gotten caught up in believing that mindfulness will help us be calmer, nicer, handle stress better, and recover from burnout faster. Mindfulness is a buzzword, and many hospitals and healthcare systems have adopted mindfulness classes as a primary employee wellness tool. Seeing mindfulness as one tool is ok, but when healthcare systems get caught up in seeing mindfulness as a fix for their employees, we have a problem. Listen to learn how to apply mindfulness skills within your healthcare system : Why mindfulness classes are not a fix for burnout. How mindfulness can help you shift how you work with and motivate distressed or unhappy employees. Why seeing mindfulness as a fix for your unhappy employees blinds healthcare systems to the reality of systemic failures that lead to moral injury and burnout. How leaders can use mindfulness as a leadership tool to engage burnout hotspots successfully. How leaders can become part of the solution to reduce burnout and promote healing in your healthcare systems. How mindfulness can help you create a healthy and high-performing healthcare system aligned with the core values of medicine and its employees.

Engage your Employees by Prioritizing Internal Communication. Carley Trotman is the founder of The CarTam Project. She’s a communication strategist, a cake lover, expat in the South of France. She brings a wealth of experience working with healthcare organizations on organizational communication and internal messaging to promote employee engagement. Carley started her company to leverage her expertise as an internal communications specialist and employee engagement point person for organizations. Healthcare organizations have a unique opportunity to consider their internal customers (employees). Healthcare has traditionally looked at its external customers (patients and payors) and ignored what it can do to shape employees’ experiences through its messaging intentionally. So, take a moment to let go of the day-to-day business operations of your healthcare organization and consider what you can do to engage and retain your employees from day one of the employee journey.

Becoming a Voice for Change. Highly trained administrative leaders are becoming more challenging to find. But suppose you're lucky enough to hire someone like Amanda Forrester. In that case, you'll be able to transform your healthcare system by learning to prioritize the well-being of administrative professionals within your healthcare system. It is easy to forget that clinicians and healthcare leaders are supported by administrative professionals who manage all of the details, from our patients' arrival at our clinics to the behind-the-scenes management of access to care challenges. Having good administrative support reduces clinician burnout. But administrative staff are often shuffled to the end of the priority list when healthcare systems strategize how to better care for their people. If your admin team is not at the top of your list of people to care for, they should be. Empower your administrative team to work at the highest level of their ability, and your clinicians will be freed up to work at the highest level of their license. We are all in this together!

Elevate Employees with Diverse Perspectives & Backgrounds. Teams with more psychological safety make fewer errors and have better communication! And coming to work is a lot more fun and engaging when you feel safe. So how do we create psychological safety? I recommend you identify the team members who have historically had less power and elevate them to the decision-making table.

28. Take personal responsibility without burning out with Erin Gibb 55:35

Act responsibly without taking on others' responsibility. Erin Gibb shares her philosophy of caring for and nourishing her healthcare organization as a living organism, before turning her attention to the well-being of the clinicians working in her organization, and, finally, to the well-being of the people who receive care in her clinic. While her approach feels counterintuitive to many, focusing on organizational well-being has had far-reaching impacts and has created waves of healing and sustainability throughout her community. Her early experiences working with First Nations people in a community with limited mental health resources taught her the principle of interdependence and the importance of focusing on organizational and clinician healing and wellness. When the organization heals itself, the people being cared for by the organization are empowered to heal the community. Erin shares how she has created a thriving clinical community based on the core value of freedom. Now she coaches her clinicians to connect with the essential elements of their “being” and their most profound dreams and desires. Not only is this transformative for the people working as clinicians, but the people they are serving can also experience greater levels of healing, and freedom, and learn to become genuinely self-honored. Listen to find out: What lessons Erin learned about culturally sensitive care while working with First Nations people in Northwestern Canada. Why Erin prioritizes the well-being of her organization above client outcomes. And why she believes that taking responsibility and owning our power create a revolution within the healthcare system!

For Menders episode 27, I had the privilege to sit down and talk with Ramses Rodriguez, an anxiety master coach, who shared how we can learn to use anxiety as a tool when we allow ourselves to be 100% honest about how it’s serving us in our lives. In this episode, Ramses shares his journey from nurse’s assistant to master coach and the life lessons he’s learned along the way. Ramses combines evidence-based practices with holistic healing and coaching strategies to help high-performing individuals experience freedom from panic. In healthcare, particularly high-pressure leadership roles, we don’t always cut ourselves slack, take breaks, or set necessary boundaries. And as Ramses so clearly articulates, many of us experience overwhelming anxiety (or panic) that begins to dictate our actions and limit our ability to perform at a high level or to fully live the lives we want to enjoy. As Ramses shares, anxiety is a red flag that is hard to miss and easy to respect and may just give us an easy out when we’re starting to violate our boundaries or values. But we can learn to use anxiety as a tool as we let go of its indirect benefits and begin to address our needs directly. Listen to find out: How Ramses has learned to “hack” his anxiety triggers by creating systems that help him set sustainable boundaries. Why taking the time to acknowledge the role anxiety plays in our lives can have a powerful healing impact. And what strategies boost personal productivity without sacrificing well-being! My favorite quotable moment from this episode! “I can set a boundary easily if my default physiological symptom is a boundary…and if [anxiety] were a tool, how do we leverage that? …It’s helping me fulfill a need for a boundary.” “Think of the high performer. We need an out, this is an easy way where our body says, ‘No more.’” Ramses Rodriguez (Menders, episode 27) Additional Resources: ABOUT RAMSES Once plagued by panic attacks himself, Ramses Rodriguez now helps individuals suffering from panic and anxiety with science-based and holistic modalities. Ramses holds a Master of Science degree in Developmental Genetics and combines science theory and alternative therapies to help people become panic-free while keeping the career of their dreams. Ramses has written two books in the genre of anxiety relief. In his first book Stop Pressing Your Own Panic Button , Ramses details the process he leads professionals through to achieve lasting relief from Panic Attacks. In his second book, The End of Writer's block , Ramses addresses the most effective tools for overcoming performance anxiety. He founded the Panic Freedom Academy, LLC , where he coaches professionals on how to overcome panic attacks! Download your free copy of Stop Pressing Your Own Panic Button : PanicFreedomBook.com…

In this episode, Dan shares his non-linear career journey from English major to software engineer, infectious disease physician, and now to CMO. And he shares the leadership lessons he’s learned along the way through coaching, self-reflection, and openness to feedback from his team. As a result of this intentionality, Dan has developed a framework for team leadership that maximizes shared decision-making and values-based empowerment. We explore how leading with values can impact both the leader and the team and creates space for everyone to operate at their highest level. Dan also reflects on some challenges of creating a sustainable work culture in a virtual environment. And, he shares some of the innovative strategies that he and Picnic Health have tried to promote lasting relationships, that allows him to connect with his team and promote relationships between team members while making an effort to create a meaningful and connected workplace. Listen to find out: How his personal family history influenced his commitment to healthcare. Why taking the time to have deeply personal conversations with our employees is a critical team leadership skill in the virtual world. And what strategies he recommends to flatten the hierarchy and promote values-based decision-making at all levels of a healthcare organization! I hope this conversation inspires you to consider your values and how you communicate what matters to you and your organization to your healthcare team. When our “why” is shared, we have the capacity to connect and create meaningful innovation. My favorite quotable moment from this episode! “I think what is important is modeling being vulnerable and real with people…that gives other members of the team impetus and space to do that as well…I want people to make mistakes, if we’re not screwing things up we’re probably not making a lot of progress, probably not taking enough risks.” Dr. Dan Drozd (Menders, episode 26) Additional Resources: Picnic Health When they win you win…

I recently had the opportunity to sit down and speak with Jennifer O’Brien. It was a pleasure and a personally moving experience for me. I hope you enjoy listening! After spending her career in healthcare as a changemaker and traveling executive, Jennifer became a family caregiver to her late husband Bob, a palliative care physician. Now Jennifer is using her experiences on both sides of the healthcare experience to advocate for greater awareness of the tremendous lift family caregivers make when caring for their loved ones. Jennifer advocates for greater inclusivity and respect for family caregivers as they play a clinician-extending role on our healthcare teams. She even wrote a position description to help us all better understand the full extent of what family caregivers do. It’s worth a read! And perhaps most importantly, Jennifer reminds us that as clinicians we are also human and caregivers for our aging parents, ill spouses, and injured children. Jennifer draws on her intimate experience of palliative care to reflect on the power of reimagining teamwork from the palliative care perspective across healthcare disciplines. And she brings us back to the core values of the healing profession: To care for the ill. To deliver babies. And to comfort the dying. Listen to find out: How focusing on her self-care through art led her to unexpectedly publish a book, the Hospice doctor’s widow. Why reimagining teamwork has the power to breathe new life into day-to-day clinical interactions. And how recommitting to our core values may just transform healthcare! I hope this conversation inspires you to take the time to dig deep, connect with your values and elevate the members of our healthcare community who are less visible. My favorite quotable moment from this episode! “I wished that on my computer screen every morning, a little dashboard would pop up that would say, “we cared for this many patients yesterday, we delivered this many babies, and we comforted this many dying people.” Jennifer O’Brien (Menders, episode 25) Additional Resources: You can find Jennifer O’Brien at The Hospice Doctor’s Widow Family Caregiver Position Description…

Jenn shared some of the lessons she’s learned from her years as a nurse and how she’s grown past some of the less helpful elements of the self-sacrificing nursing culture as she’s learned to care for her whole self. Jenn shares her transformation experience from that “angry at the system nurse” to a nurse who is refreshed daily and delighted to do her job. And she attributes this transformation to boundary setting. Jenn’s story illustrates the power that we have to create transformation, even when we are working in challenging conditions and imperfect organizations.

For Menders episode 23, I had the opportunity to sit down with Daniel Hoang, a man of many talents who was willing to do a deep dive on change management, parenting, self-care, and how we can bring love into healthcare relationships to promote change on a human scale. Daniel spent much of his career as a change management consultant working for healthcare organizations and corporations. Then 2020 hit. The COVID pandemic stopped his “go-go” lifestyle in its tracks and led him to grapple with the reality of his trauma history as the child of Vietnamese boat people. This led him on a healing journey that eventually caused him to rethink everything, including his approach to change management. As he shares in this episode, Daniel used I’m sure I say this too often, but my conversation with Daniel is one of my all-time favorites, and I think you will find it meaningful too! If you’ve ever found yourself struggling as a person and a parent, you will appreciate this conversation. Listen to find out: · How focusing on his own needs and calming himself helps him to parent more effectively. · Why he sees every individual as having the power to create transformation within our organizations. · And the simple strategies leaders can use to engage their employees in typically tedious meetings deeply! I hope this conversation inspires you to take the time to focus on healing yourself and to engage thoughtfully with your daily life. We could all use a little extra grace and some breathing room. My favorite quotable moment from this episode! “We’re burning out our leaders today….” “Leaders want to just keep working harder at it, and that’s never the answer because there will always be another thing that gets layered on top…Pause, create space, and create resilience in that leadership team. And then step back and solve this problem.” - Daniel Hoang (Menders, episode 23)…

I found this conversation fun and joyful, and I hope you feel the same way! Khara brought her functional medicine perspective and her history as an emergency medicine practitioner to our conversation. She shared her current approach to helping people move towards gut health, or as she says, to go from “toilet hell to feeling well.” Khara shared that changing how she interacts with patients has allowed her to get more joy out of her clinical work and keep herself sustainable. And finally, we explored how she might take a functional medicine approach to examine the root causes of distress in our healthcare system. The excellent news is that Khara believes we can create transformation, but it will involve all of us fully committing to the process. Listen to find out: · How her own experience with a chronic illness impacted her journey into the field of medicine. · Why she sees helping our patients understand the “how” of change as more crucial than telling them “what” they need to change. · And why she believes everyone should be equipped with skills to conduct a rapid quality improvement project. I hope this conversation inspires you to take care of yourself and take the time to find the root cause of distress on your team or in your system. My favorite quotable moment from this episode! “When a whole bunch of people are doing a whole bunch of the same things, it’s a ripple effect…and if you start by putting a whole bunch of little bitty things into place, eventually those little things become big things, and those big things will become huge things. That’s how we improve healthcare, but it can’t be just me. And it can’t be just you. It has to be a whole bunch of like-minded people.” Dr. Khara Jefferson (Menders, episode 22) Additional Resources: Find Dr. Khara Jefferson at https://www.kajwellness.com/…

Menders episode 21 is out now, and it is a treat! I sat down with Adele Wang , and while we had intended to think through the mind-body impacts of stress and burnout, we found ourselves deep in conversation about calling and what nourishes us as humans and healers. I loved this conversation and am still reverberating with Adele’s ideas. Adele shared how she works with healthcare providers to help them move from what they know to what they feel by working with them to reconnect with their body’s deep knowing. Her work allows clinicians at risk of burnout to reconnect with themselves. And from this place of self-honoring, they have a choice about how to re-engage with their work as a healer, whether that is in the traditional system or outside it. Listen to find out: · How her work in a small intimate integrative health clinic taught her to see that healthcare can be provided differently. · Why we both see community as the secret for both patients and clinicians. · And how she draws on what gives her clients pleasure in their non-work lives to help reinvigorate their connection to their calling as healers. I hope this conversation inspires you to take some time to consider what you enjoy that has nothing to do with healthcare. Take some time to answer this question, and then reconnect with your work when you’re ready. My favorite quotable moments from this episode! “The missing element: you have no community and neither do your patients…” Adele Wang (Menders, episode 21) “It’s not just one person going to see the patient, it’s a team.

She shares how she has integrated well-being into the core curriculum of her family medicine residency. And she provides a framework for how well-being naturally leads to systemic advocacy in healthcare. Liz and I reflect on strategies that allow clinical supervisors and healthcare leaders to foster a culture of safety in which learners become comfortable acknowledging their personal challenges and reaching out to their supervisors and community for support. Listen to find out: · Why (& when) she trains her residents to move away from a problem-solving approach! · Why she believes that focusing on well-being now will create a sustainable foundation for long-term sustainability within our healthcare system. · And how she balances her own workload to maximize meaning and promote her personal sustainability in healthcare and medical education. Here are a couple of my favorite quotable moments from this episode: “We have to live within the system to promote change.” - Dr. Liz Dykhouse (Menders, episode 20) “I felt better today but that didn’t solve the problems…I want [residents] to feel empowered to advocate for change…I also want them to know how to care for themselves individually!” - Dr. Liz Dykhouse (Menders, episode 20) “The thing that I have found most helpful working within the system myself and working collaboratively with leaders in a variety of different settings within the traditional system is the willingness of leaders to have the [tough] conversation." - Me!

How she is currently working to practice cultural humility, recognize and respond to her internalized racism and the ongoing harm of settler colonialism, and stay focused on relationship-building.

Leaving your day job as a physician may be the only way forward if you are stuck in a toxic healthcare environment. Dr. Cindy Rubin shares her story of taking a leap of faith from the traditional healthcare system into her practice as a direct primary care pediatrician. For Cindy, making this transition allowed her to create a fulfilling work life where she can structure her patient interactions so that she has plenty of time for healing interactions with her patients and still makes it home for dinner every night. And most importantly, taking this leap of faith has challenged her to take full ownership of her value as a human being in a healing profession. Listen to find out: How she went from missing dinner and bedtime with her family every night to creating a flexible schedule that allows her to attend her children’s school lunches and baseball games! How she used a bold publication to connect with a community of like-minded physicians who applauded her as she highlighted the challenges in her health system! Why you need to connect with a community of like-minded clinicians and a simple way to find people who will champion your worth in your health system! Here are some of my favorite quotable moments from this episode: “It was manageable, and suddenly zero to 60, it was like I was exactly where I had been, and I realized I couldn’t do this. I’d gotten a taste of what it could be like to be able to see fewer patients a day” - Dr. Cindy Rubin “Something shifts when people take on a systemic level of responsibility and take on the system’s values. It’s important to me to question that….if we change our values and commit to changing our values, I believe things can happen differently!” - Me! (Dr. Nicola De Paul) This episode will get you thinking, laughing, and motivated to reach out to your community of colleagues. It’s time to value ourselves.

Healthcare organizations are complex organisms—you have the power to create a healthier environment for yourself and your employees intentionally. Explore the impacts of toxic environments on the well-being of physicians and healthcare systems as complex living organisms. When we see teams and elements of our institutions crumbling, we can be sure that something unhealthy is happening. As Steve aptly points out, we're only as healthy as the team doing the worst! Acknowledging our toxic environments is a first step that allows us to turn toward the challenging but rewarding work of community building and repair. Refocusing on human connection in healthcare may be the medicine we need to heal. Please take the time to reflect on one step that you, as an individual, can take to respond to the needs of yourself, your colleagues, and your organization. Cultural transformation starts with our small actions to care for each other. And as always, thank you for listening! Bio: Dr. Steve Hunt is a primary care physician board certified in environmental and occupational medicine.
