  • How to Expect the Unexpected in Negotiation (and Plan for It)
    2023/09/28

    Even if you have all your ducks in a row, negotiations can throw us something completely unexpected. 

     

    One left-field comment can take the wind out of our sails and derail our plans.

     

    Instead of letting your brain pull an amygdala hijack and respond rashly, there is a safety lever that will allow us to respond in our best light. 

     

    How do we respond to the unexpected without sabotaging ourselves?

     

    In this episode, I share how to deal with something you weren’t ready for in a negotiation. 

     

     

    Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

     

    - Grace in the face of bad news

    If the conversation uncovers bad news, how do we maintain composure?

     

    - A well thought-out response vs. a rash reaction

    How do we take a productive pause from the conversation and create space to regroup later?

     

    - A win-win 

    How do we make sure both parties leave the conversation feeling like value was exchanged?

  • Negotiation for Physicians: How to Ask For What You Want Without Fear or Guilt with Dr. Katrina Ubell
    2023/09/21

    The pay gap in medicine is something we’re all too familiar with. While some of it is certainly systemic and structural - there is a mindset piece where we have to bring ourselves to the table. 

     

    To get jobs and packages that align with our worth, we have to learn to ask for what we want. Between our societal and medical socialization, that can be hard to do, but not impossible. 

     

    How do we overcome the mindset blocks that make it hard to advocate for ourselves? Why is preparation so critical to our success at the negotiating table? 

     

    In this episode, I join physician and master certified life coach, and CEO at Weight Loss for Busy Physicians, Dr. Katrina Ubell on her podcast: Weight Loss for Busy Physicians. We discuss the mindset and approach to a successful negotiation. 

     

     

    Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

     

    - Facts vs. the stories we tell ourselves about the facts

    How do we approach negotiation with a more productive mindset instead of an us vs. them mentality?

     

    - Mental barriers to advocating for ourselves 

    As women and doctors, we’re socialized to play nice in the sandbox and be grateful for what we have. How do we overcome this mindset?

     

    - A rising tide raises all ships 

    We often think only of how a negotiation benefits us, but can advocate for ourselves to improve the lives of others?

    Having an exceptional clinical skill set doesn’t magically translate into great leadership in a world that’s evolving at breakneck speed. 

     

    At some point we’ll find ourselves leading people whose jobs we don’t know how to do, but that doesn’t mean we can’t be effective leaders.

  • Physicians Who Lead Part 2: How to Win the Mindset Game
    2023/08/31

    When we try to wrap our heads around why leadership is so challenging, we’ll soon discover that the mindset piece is what gets in our way. 

     

    Our mental state is the foundation upon which great leadership is placed, and being a great leader begins with our own relationship with ourselves. When that foundation is stuck in a reactive space, it’s hard for us to truly show up as our best selves, and that trickles into our teams and organizations. 

     

    Who are the 3 horsemen of the reactive leadership apocalypse? How do we take a less stressful approach to leadership? 

     

    In this episode, we’re diving back into leadership with Talent Strategy and Leadership Consultant and CEO of 304 Coaching, Jen Thornton. Today we talk about the mental game of leadership, and how we can turn it into something beautiful that people want to follow.

     

     

    Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

     

    - The 3 horsemen of reactivity

    When we’re in our reactive stage, what are the telltale signs and how do they manifest in doctor-land?

     

    - Tendencies vs. competencies

    How do we break out of our default reactive thought patterns and behaviors and self-author an engaged response? 

     

    - A cure for the Monday morning screw its 

    How do we do away with the us vs. them mentality that tends to come up when we’re working with hospital administration?

  • Normalization and Negotiation: A Combination You Must Use to Your Advantage
    2023/08/18

    As the physician landscape continues to change, how we practice medicine looks different to how it was done before. The more we normalize this change, the better off we’ll be and the more effectively we can advocate for ourselves. 

     

    There’s so much room for us to do our jobs better and to make them more sustainable. In order to achieve that though, we have to get comfortable with experimentation and doing things differently. 

     

    How do we use normalization to our favor? In this episode, I share how to use change to your advantage in a negotiation. 

     

     

    Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode 

     

    - The power of normalization in negotiation 

    How do we make it normal, and even expect that advocating for ourselves is part of who we are? 




    - “We’ve never done this before” is an opportunity

    Why is it so important to push against the barrier of the standard way of doing things?

     

    - Rethinking how we practice medicine

    Can normalization keep more physicians in this field with a lot less burnout?
