The Accelerators (Dr. Anna Laucis, Matt Spraker, and Simul Parikh) are closing out 2022 with a focus on mental health!
In this episode, we are joined by friends-of-the-show Drs. Neil Newman and Christina Henson as well as Melody Wilding, LCSW. Melody is an executive coach and author of #RadOnc book club favorite "Trust Yourself: Stop Overthinking and Channel Your Emotions for Success at Work."
We discuss Melody's book and The Highly Sensitive Person phenotype, which may be expressed in up to 30% of people. This can pose challenges for anyone at work, but we discuss how the phenotype may uniquely impact physicians. We also share how Melody's book has impacted our careers in different ways.
The discussion then shifts to how employers and physician leaders might make our hospitals and clinics a nicer place to work and how Sensitive Striver physicians might excel in this challenging workplace.
