The Career Rx Podcast for Doctors
Business:Careers
Was there any bright side to 2020? To be sure, 2020 was pretty rough for a lot of reasons. With so much going on in the world that is inarguably terrible, it can be hard to focus on any silver lining from 2020. Yet, happiness experts and researchers agree that we should indeed look for and celebrate positive moments or events.
Today’s episode comes from Kristen, a long-time friend and colleague of mine, asking a private Facebook group, “Tell me something you achieved 2020. Not even humble brag, modifier, good girl, downplaying, minimizing...just brag! You’ve earned it.” Indeed, well over 500 women physician members commented with their wins, large and small (myself included). They have many, many reasons to be proud.
So I was inspired to start off The Career Rx 2021 by reflecting on my own wins from 2020. I’ll share with you four practices I implemented this past year that really made a difference. But they aren’t just wins for me - they each come with a nugget of wisdom I hope you can apply to your own life. Start off 2021 by giving these some thought, and take this year to an entirely new ‘best’ level!
In this episode of The Career Rx we’ll discuss:
Follow this episode as I map out four things that were great for me in 2020. I’m sharing my experiences in hopes of each one having a little bit of a lesson or spark of inspiration, that you can take to apply to your own life for a really fantastic 2021.
“Knowing that you can trust yourself makes pretty much anything possible.” - Marjorie Stiegler
