Happy New Year!

 

Have you ever set a resolution only to watch it fizzle out by mid-January?

You’re not alone!  92 % of New Year's resolutions are never realized!

 

In this week's blog post, I explore the LEGACY Method a physician-specific approach that aligns your goals with your core values, embraces small wins, and fosters whole-person development.

Imagine setting and achieving resolutions that boost your career and enhance your personal well-being—sounds like a legacy worth building, right?

👉 Read the full blog here to discover how you can make 2025 your most impactful year yet!

The best way to predict the future is to create it.

Coach's Corner

Step 1: Reflect on Your Values
Take a few minutes to jot down what matters most to you—both professionally and personally. Consider questions like:
  • What do I want to be remembered for in my career?
  • What personal achievements bring me the most joy?
Step 2: Identify Small Wins  

Using the LEGACY Method, break down your big goals into tiny, actionable steps. For example:

  • Goal:  Improve patient
  • Micro-Action: Take one deep breath before entering each patient’s room.
Step 3: Set a SMART Goal  

Transform a vague aspiration into a Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound objective.  
Instead of: “I’ll reduce stress.”  
Try: “I will practice 5 minutes of mindfulness three mornings per week for the next month."

Laugh a Little: Remember, even Rome wasn’t built in a day—and neither are your resolutions!

Celebrate those tiny victories along the way.

Holding hope close as we wrap 2025
  This past year felt, in many ways, like stepping into what feels like the new normal of medicine:  reimbursement pressure tightening, patient complexity growing, workforce shortages felt daily, and technology surprising us by showing up where we least expected it. And yet, even in that heaviness, something quietly remarkable emerged: possibility, agency, and the chance to shape careers that ...
The Holiday Lists That Burn Doctors Out
You've heard the song lyrics. "He knows when you are sleeping. He knows when you're awake. He knows if you've been bad or good so be good for goodness sake."  Every holiday season comes with lists. The naughty list. The nice list. The grocery list.  And for physicians? The most exhausting one of all: the should list. I should pick up the extra shift. I should host the office party I should ke...
The Unexpected Gift Inside Your Side Gig
  Lately I’ve been living in two completely different professional worlds. One is the world of building our comprehensive heart center. I have been in my division director roles for 5 months.

It is the right direction for our patients and our progra...
