Episode #60: Calling All Healthcare Leaders:  Now is the Time to Put Yourself First and Develop Your Resilience and Here's How

Introduction to the Episode: 

Why is it important for healthcare leaders to build resilience now? 

Clinicians and leaders were already burned out, or on the verge of it, prior to the COVID pandemic.  

There is concern that the strain and burden being experienced by essential healthcare workers may lead to a dual pandemic. 

The truth is their leaders are their first line of support.   

We know how much you want to support them and how concerned you are about their well-being AND you are experiencing significant challenges and stress, too. 

In this episode, we explore a unique combination of strategies that you may or may not know can help you develop resilience during these unprecedented times.  These three strategies are part of our Dynamic Balance Effect Framework™ that we leverage to help healthcare leaders develop balance and resilience in their work and personal lives. 

When you are always putting others first, it can have a negative impact on your well-being and resilience.  During the episode we discuss the importance of taking care of self and others and putting your own needs first.  Yes, you need to put yourself first!  

Rabih Alameddine, author of The Hakawati, states “What happens is of little significance compared with the stories we tell ourselves about what happens”.  We talk about the significant role stories and beliefs play in our ability to be resilient.  

The third strategy we discuss is the power of habits. You may or may not realize that 95% of what we do is based on habit.  It’s easy to see, if 95% of our actions are based on habit, then it’s essential to be aware of our habits and to leverage habits to make our most effective actions automatic and easy, isn’t it. 

Have you begun to realize how these three strategies can help you put yourself first and develop resilience, yet?   

You may not realize the significance of the strategies until you listen to the podcast and learn more.  It’s there waiting for you.
