119: How to Deal with Grief During the Covid-19 Pandemic with Dr. Lori Wightman

In healthcare one of the leadership norms is leaders sacrifice, they put everyone else first. This is especially true now, during these challenging times.You’ve been indoctrinated to be a servant leader, always focusing on the needs of the team, the organization, the patients and families, before giving attention to your own needs.Servant leadership is not a bad thing, until you “over-serve” and neglect yourself.With this unipolar approach of leadership, healthcare leaders end up burned out, exhausted, and empty.In this podcast, we discussed redefining leadership norms and taking advantage of our current situation to reset, relook, and reevaluate everything to create a new reality and leadership approach.For full show notes and links, visit:https://www.missinglogic.com/new-podcastIf you found value in this episode, please subscribe and leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!Enrollment is now open to our  Self-Study Program, Caring for Others Without Neglecting YOU!In this self-study program, you will learn why neglecting yourself to care for your team will always lead to failure.

#118: Can We Create New Leadership Norms in Healthcare?

In this episode, we talk with co-authors Dr. Mark Goulston and Dr. Diana Hendel about their book Trauma to Triumph: A Roadmap for Leading Through Disruption (and Thriving on the Other Side). Mark and Diana share how the pandemic traumatizes healthcare leaders, employees, and organizations, sending everyone into survival mode. In their book, Mark and Diana said that if the crisis is not "named and claimed" as trauma and managed effectively, it&apos;s sure to linger on in the form of chronic stress and anxiety. And left unspoken and unaddressed, blame, shame, and guilt often permeate the organization&apos;s culture and erode its ability to thrive in the future.We discussed how trauma affects the individuals and the organization&apos;s culture, how institutions can recover from the pandemic, and how healthcare leaders create stability amid uncertainty and traumatic events to become stronger and better on the other side.At the close of the interview, Mark and Diana answered a couple of questions from our new Q&A process called the Missing Questions.For full show notes and links, visit:https://www.missinglogic.com/new-podcastIf you found value in this episode, please leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!If you have questions for us email your questions to questions@missinglogic.comEnrollment is now open to our Self-Study Program, Caring for Others Without Neglecting YOU!  Click Here NOW to learn more and enroll!In this training, you will learn why neglecting yourself to take care of your team will always lead to failure.

#117: Navigating through Crisis and Trauma with Dr Diana Hendel and Dr Mark Goulston

Do you have a vision for your life personally and professionally?  In the work we do with healthcare leaders we often find they don’t have a clear vision for their life. Without a clear vision it’s difficult to feel personally aligned, to make mindful choices, or to know what actions to take.  As Yogi Berra says, “You got to be careful, if you don’t know where you are going, ‘cause you might not get there”.  You end up feeling frustrated, full of regret, and wondering “how did I get here?”  In today’s episode we are sharing with you how to create a clear vision for your personal and professional life, so you can be a TRU (Thriving, Resilient, Unstoppable) healthcare leader.For full show notes and links, visit:https://www.missinglogic.com/new-podcastIf you found value in this episode, please leave us a review on Apple Podcasts!Other Resources You May Enjoy:Self-Study Opportunity:  Enrollment is open to our Self-Study Program, Caring for Others Without Neglecting YOU!  Click Here NOW to learn more and enroll!Click the title to download our free perspective paper: The 3 Biggest Mistakes Healthcare Leaders Make When Trying To Achieve Work Life Balance If you have questions for us email your questions to questions@missinglogic.comSOCIAL MEDIA LINKS:https://www.linkedin.com/company/missinglogic-llchttps://www.facebook.com/missinglogicLLChttps://twitter.com/MissingLogicLLChttps://www.instagram.com/missinglogic_llc/

Why is it that some healthcare leaders are barely surviving the COVID pandemic and recovery phase, and others are thriving?  If you are barely surviving then you have let go of your dream or desires, you’re settling or telling yourself what you have is good enough, or you’re just keeping your head down and moving forward the best you can.

#111: Healthy Eating and Balancing Physical and Mental Well-Being with Dr. Katie Eliot

If you are feeling stuck, fearful, or disappointed, you are doing one or more of the following things. Your attention is focused on what is happening or not happening around you, you’re convinced your circumstances are the reason you don’t have what you want, and you say things like “it’s never going to change”.  Are we right?  Letting your circumstances drive your results puts you in “victim mode” and it is a vicious and unconscious cycle that keeps you swirling.
