    As doctors many of us have things we wish to change, be it life balance, our exercise, or our work. Yet change itself is often difficult. In this episode, Michael and I discuss why change is so tricky, what holds us back, and how the beliefs that we have get in the way. He tells me that change is most certainly possible, and it is necessary to identify what you want to change, and why.

    Dr. Michael Hersh is a Gastroenterologist, husband, father, podcaster, and physician coach at Better Physician Life Coaching. He coaches physicians on creating work-life balance, goal setting, stress management, reducing overwhelm, and feeling more present at home and less annoyed at work. His goal is to help physicians stop feeling trapped in medicine so that they can finally enjoy the life they worked so hard to build. He also co-hosted a podcast called Doctors Living Deliberately, highlighting physicians changing medicine by learning to live life with intention and purpose.

    Andrew Kadar is an anaesthesiologist, and quite unexpectedly developed severe heart disease needing immediate open heart surgery. He has written a book, Getting Better, A Doctor’s Story of Resilience, Recovery, and Renewal, about his experiences where he discusses emotional, spiritual, and psychological foundations of getting better. The goal of the book is to help make the experience of a major illness easier for others and their loved ones. In this episode of Doctors at Work, we talk about the fact that as physicians, we struggle to be objective when it comes to our own health, and his tip is to ask what advice you would give to someone else if they had the same symptoms. Part of the issue also is our self image, for if we see ourselves as a healthy person who cares for others, it can be challenging to accept that you are the one in need of care. And I love his attitude for recovery, he suggests accepting what is, focusing on solutions, and asking so what do we need to do.

    Dr Andrew Kadar is a physician at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, a Diplomate of the American Board of Anesthesiology, and a Fellow of the American Society of Anesthesiologists. He graduated from the Yale University School of Medicine and completed his residency at Stanford and Harvard Universities (Massachusetts General Hospital). He has served on the faculties of the UCLA School of Medicine, Charles Drew University, and Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. He has appeared on Good Morning America and NBC Nightly News, as well as Air Talk with Larry Mantle and The Dennis Prager Show. Dr. Kadar studied in the UCLA Writers’ Program and the Antioch University MFA writing program.

    Jamie is a world champion obstacle racer. In this episode, he talks about his love of challenge, and we discuss the importance of having a mindset that welcomes challenges. He tells the that it's not possible to prepare for every race because they are all different, and we draw parallels to the world of medicine where all patient encounters are different - he tells me that he practices specific steps, which is also something that as doctors we can do in our own worlds. And he stresses the importance of prioritisation, having strict boundaries between different activities, and the importance of having clarity on what matters to you.

    About Jamie:
    An athlete who thrives on pushing boundaries, both on the obstacle course and on the tatami. Ranked #1 in Obstacle Course Racing (OCR) and a former top-ranked Judoka, I proudly represent my country, showcasing resilience and proving that anything is possible. But my passion extends far beyond the thrill of competition. I'm a passionate speaker and advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, using my platform to empower and inspire others. My story is one of overcoming adversity, and I share it with the hope of igniting a spark in others to chase their dreams, regardless of the challenges they face. My journey began with the Army Cadet Force, where I discovered a love for sports and the desire to represent something bigger than myself. Always on a pursuit of higher education, I completed a personal training qualification, an undergraduate and postgraduate degree, and most recently, I embarked on the challenging yet rewarding path of a doctoral program. Many years ago, I encountered the Parasport program, leading me to explore Powerlifting and athletics. Powerlifting provided a solid foundation for strength, while unforeseen complications from my amputation forced me to adapt. Judo re-entered my life, and I simultaneously discovered the world of OCR, conquering over 100 Tough Mudder courses. My dedication to this sport led me to create the international classification system for adaptive/para athletes, paving the way for greater inclusivity in the sport. On the international-level, I have created the classification criteria for para OCR and have spearheaded the movement towards an inclusive OCR environment for those with disabilities. Beyond the competitive arena, I find solace in music, weaving melodies on the piano, clarinet, saxophone, and guitar. My heart also lies in giving back, volunteering with youth charities and sharing my experiences to empower the next generation. Today, I'm constantly learning and growing. Studying for a doctorate has opened new avenues for intellectual exploration, and I'm constantly striving to be the best version of myself, both in and out of the academic and athletic spheres. My greatest motivation comes from connecting with others and seeing them reach their full potential. Whether it's through my athletic feats, motivational talks, or simply lending a helping hand, I believe in the power of community and shared experiences. Let's connect and embark on this journey together!

    We all know that we are in the midst of a climate emergency, but what can we as doctors do? In this episode, Rammina tells me that at personal level, we can do what we can (it doesn't have to be perfect!) and share out stories to inspire others. As a profession we need to think differently, and aligning financial with patient-centred and environmental agendas is often very compatible; this is about practicing with the planet in mind. And she argues that the climate emergency is a healthcare emergency, and as doctors we need to also be aware of the wider political discussions because healthcare is already being affected by climate change.

    Dr Rammina Yassaie is a Senior Lecturer in Leadership at the Centre for Leadership in Health and Social Care at Sheffield Hallam University. Prior to this, she worked as an NHS doctor for over a decade and is alumni of both the Yorkshire and Humber Future Leaders Programme and the FMLM NHS Regional Clinical Leadership Programme. She is an Associate Editor with BMJ Leader and the co-lead for Planetary Health and Climate action in the journal and curates the BMJ Leader Greener Leader blog series in light of her passion for leading for planetary health. She strongly believes in doing everything we can to ensure we have a safe and liveable future for all.

    In this episode, Ibifunke tells me about some of the challenges faced by doctors moving to a new country. Extensive preparation to understand the new system and new ways of working is key. But doctors moving to a new country are not a homogenous group, and those welcoming them need to understand them as individuals with specific skills and experiences. There needs to be a mindset shift to seeing new starters (whether international or not) not as liabilities, but as an asset bringing a range of new experiences and ideas with them. Those of us welcoming new doctors should take responsibility for how we impact others, and organisations can also focus not just on up-skilling the IMG, but also on helping existing staff understand their unconscious biases.

    Ibifunke Pegba-Otemolu is a Higher Surgical Trainee in Dundee and the Author of Thriving in the NHS; an International Medical Graduate’s Guide to starting in the NHS. She is also the convener of a Community by the same name of International Medical Graduates thriving in the NHS.

    Work is always busy, there is so much to do and little time. So why should we take the time to smile and ask others how they are doing? In this episode, Tom Wright tells me that smiling and socialisation need not take much time, it can be as simple as a nod with a welcoming face. In fact, aiming for small changes may be better than trying to organise a big event. The action of smiling is likely to not only make others feel better, it is also likely to put you in a better mood. This way we can create a different culture, filled with kindness, and overall better connections with others at work.

    We may not like to talk about money, but the reality is that it matters. In this episode, Hugh Massie and I discuss the role that money plays in doctors' careers. Doctors need to establish what their identity is, what legacy they want to leave, and how they want to be held to account. Money then becomes something that is a part of the whole, supporting the rest of one's work, rather than a source of stress or envy.

    Hugh Massie is the Executive Chairman and Founder of DNA Behavior International – the Behavior and Money Insights Company. As a widely recognized Titan 100 CEO and Behavioral Solutions Architect, Hugh helps growth-minded leaders create an Exponential Future by developing a 109 (ten to the power of 9) Quantum Leap Growth Mindset and by building a plan for over 1 billion people impact. With that framework, he addresses every opportunity and challenge through a behavioral lens. Hugh’s purpose is to empower people worldwide to optimize their natural “hard-wired” talents and financial behaviors which drives quantum leap capacity, reduces stress, and enables greater happiness, more success, and improved health for longer. Further, Hugh empowers organizations and teams to build “category king” people-centered businesses, and in the process, enhance decision-making, culture, and performance. Applying the pioneering behavioral finance research Hugh has undertaken since 2001, his moonshot goal is to implement an AI-driven BeSci Tech Platform that by 2030 fully informs 1 billion people annually on how to enhance their decision-making and relationships for increasing life, financial and business longevity by 30 or more years. Hugh partners with clients to create an Exponential Future by developing trail-blazing financial behavior apps for building the “New BeFi Economy” impacting all key areas of life, finance and business.

    Hugh has authored the following books and eBooks:

    1. Leadership Behavior DNA – Discovering Natural Talents and Managing Differences

    2. Financial DNA – Discovering Your Financial Personality for a Quality Life

    3. Business DNA – Growing a People Centric Organizational Identity

    4. Mastering Your Money Energy – Unleashing the Quantum Power of Money

    In this episode, Clare talks about her career and we particularly focus on her leadership roles. She tells me that as doctors we are all leaders, and often don't appreciate the skills that we actually have. Her leadership wasn't part of a big master plan, she worked hard as a front line GP, had her eyes open to identify problems, and then went on and did something about it. She advises others to work hard, say yes to opportunities, and always be kind.

    Having first trained in psychiatry at the Maudsley hospital, Clare Gerada followed her father’s footsteps and became a general practitioner, working in her practice in South London for more than thirty four years. Over this time, alongside her clinical practice, she has held several national leadership positions including both the Chair and President of the Royal College of General Practitioners, only the second women in its history to hold both position. Clare has also set up and led, until 2021 the award winning service for doctors and dentists with mental health problems, NHS Practitioner Health. She has also set up and leads the Primary Care Gambling Service, a unique GP-led multidisciplinary service straddling the primary, secondary and third sectors. Clare was awarded an MBE in 2000 for her services to drug misuse and received a Dame hood in 2020 for services to mental health.

    With Phil Hammond, Clare is appearing at the Edinburgh fringe in August 2024: Fifty minutes to save the NHS. Book tickets here.

    In this episode, I am having a conversation with Dr Valerie Young who is a world thought leader on impostor syndrome. She tells me that impostor syndrome is about feeling that you are not as good as others, attributing your successes to external factors, and a pervasive fear of being found out. It is common in healthcare professionals, linked at least partially to the stakes being high, and our culture of criticising each other. Dealing with impostor syndrome requires recognition that it is common, and normalising it's presence. It requires reframing to a humble realist response where people have a realistic appraisal of their skills and a healthy response to feedback. And it requires separation of feelings of confidence from actual competence, they two are not the same, and thinking and acting competent is likely to come before one feels confident.

    Dr. Valerie Young is widely recognized as the foremost thought leader on impostor syndrome. In addition to speaking at over 100 universities including Harvard, MIT, Yale medical school, and Oxford she’s spoken at such diverse organizations as Pfizer, Google, the National Cancer Institute, and NASA. Her award-winning book “The Secret Thoughts of Successful Women: And Men, Why Capable People Suffer from Impostor Syndrome and How to Thrive in Spite of It” has been published in 7 languages. And her advice has been cited in Time, Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal, Science, The New York Times, on the BBC, and elsewhere. In 2021 she co-founded the Impostor Syndrome Institute to bring solutions to organizations. You can learn more about Valerie’s work at ImpostorSyndrome.com

    In this episode, Professor Rebecca Jones and I discuss inclusive leadership. She tells me that inclusive leadership is about enabling everyone to contribute and be their authentic self. In order to generate the best team performance possible, inclusive leaders need to be focused on enabling everyone to contribute, and ask what this person brings rather than merely focused on how they fit in. Whilst it may be more difficult to display inclusive behaviours during times of stress, it is our own responsibility to educate ourselves, develop self insight, and have the curiosity and courage to include every team member.

    Professor Rebecca J Jones PhD CPsychol is a Professor in Coaching and Behavioural Change at Henley Business School, a Chartered Psychologist and Co-Founder of Inclusive Leadership Company. Her research interests lie in examining the factors that influence coaching effectiveness and her consultancy practice focuses on working with organisations to create diverse and inclusive workplaces using coaching and psychological theory and research to achieve sustained behaviour change. Rebecca is the author of the book ‘Coaching with Research in Mind’, host of ‘Coaching@Henley’ podcast and has published her research in globally renowned journals.

    Burnout affects many professionals in healthcare. In this episode, Ami Foster and I discuss how to spot when you are in the middle of it, and what can be done about it. Better than dealing with burnout would be prevention. We talk about how as doctors we are constantly on sympathetic system over-drive, but actually we need to invest in our wellbeing for the sake of the future including our own career success and longevity. The reality is that the world will always want more from us, so it is for us to put in some boundaries and strategies to help set us up for short-term and long-term success. It's not selfish to practice self-care, and you can be both patient focused and interested in your own wellbeing.

    For many doctors a career in medicine seems like a conveyor belt, but increasingly people are willing to take stock and consider what it is that they want in their lives, and what kind of a career suits them. This may be decisions relating to specialties, locations, allied roles, leadership roles, or wholesale changes. In this episode, Giles Croft tells me about career decisions that he has made. We identify that slowing down matters, happiness is an inside job, and we create a six point plan for career transitions.

    Giles is a psychology graduate and former NHS surgeon who stepped aside from clinical practice to seek happiness in a number of alternative career paths, including health informatics, cycling journalism, public speaking and high street retail with his wife. Ultimately he realised what we all know to be true — that happiness is indeed an ‘inside job’ — and since 2018 has been helping individuals and groups to rediscover their own ‘Innate Health’ as a speaker, coach and trainer. He has worked extensively with busy Health & Social Care staff, and his 6 week Reconnect Programme was recently found by the UK’s What Works Centre for Wellbeing, to be the most effective way to improve staff wellbeing and mental health, out of more than 200 different interventions across the UK. Giles writes a monthly wellbeing column in the South Wales-based Focus Magazine, runs a free monthly online meet-up called ‘Wellbeing Wednesdays’ and lives in Abergavenny with his wife and 10 year old daughter.

    Leadership is a key quality that all doctors need to posses. But sometime it is challenging to lead in a way that sits comfortably with you, whilst accepting the external reality. In this podcast, Ross tells me that authentic leadership is about specifically choosing the best response for a situation, based on what matters to each person as an individual. We talk about values, psychological flexibility, and he shares his top tips.
