Sometimes it feels like talking to a wall when we make recommendations to patients. We want so desperately to help them, it's actually IMPERATIVE for their health that they listen, but how do we help anyone that doesn't want to hear what we have to say?

Mark Goulston's book, Just Listen: Discover the Secret to Getting Through to Absolutely Anyone, teaches us how to draw people in so that they can't help but listen - but surprise, turns out WE'RE the problem that needs fixing first. The answer lies in this mistake you're repeatedly making, thinking this is how you get people to listen when you're only driving people farther away.

In this episode I unpack some of the incredible communications/business lessons from this book and tailor them to our scenarios every day at work as healthcare providers - here is how to ACTUALLY reach people and be heard.

CHIEF COMPLAINTS - answering your questions for our friday morning advice episode!! This week we discuss: 

1. how to navigate imposter syndrome & gain confidence (1:01)

2. how to workaholism and find that elusive work/life balance - or does it even exist? (7:01)

3. how to tell if you want to buy something because it's trendy or because it is genuinely good! (13:49)

we all carry around our heavy baggage from the pressure and standards we put on ourselves, the stories we tell about ourselves. What if you could put it all down? What if you could change that story you know to be true about yourself? This week's episode is all about giving you the permission to put that weight down, and re-invent yourself. It's about giving yourself the permission to be human, the permission to fail and try again, and the permission to rise above whatever is currently bothering you.
