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.

We live in a polarized time, and communication feels next to impossible.

The Barriers We Build (and why it is time to take them down)
I had two very different experiences this week that got me thinking about something we all struggle with but rarely name: the invisible barriers we construct in our own lives.

We desperately need nurses and coordinators to support our clinical mission, but we’re stuck in an endless loop of...
