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.

Fall makes me want to rest. I rarely do.
A small change first. Starting this month, this letter is coming once a month instead of every week. You'll get a short note from me and the posts I've written since the last one, all in one place. Less in your inbox, and I hope a little more worth opening. It's the first week of fall. Just saying that makes me want to pull out a hoodie and some sweatpants and sit next to a fire. The days are s...
The only holiday named after work
Tomorrow is Labor Day, and somebody I work with is spending it in the hospital. That is the part of a holiday also seem a little ironic. Most people get a Monday off. A hospital, and plenty of other service industries, get a coverage problem that was solved months ago in a spreadsheet by. The reason you have tomorrow off is that a colleague does not. I have worked plenty of holiday. Working the...
I've gotten good at overriding them
It is 7:30 on a Tuesday morning. Someone at home sick, or a pipe burst, or the tire is flat. It doesn't much matter which one it is. Each is one of modern life's inconveniences that cannot be ignored, and they arrive at 7:02 in morning when you have a full clinic ahead of you. You could cancel. You could ask for coverage. You already know there is no real backup system for that. Ignore the thin...
