I’d like to start off today by giving a HUGE SHOUT-OUT to my producer, Bachot Muna. Not only is he brilliantly editing, cleaning-up and mixing the audio for this podcast, Bachot is a very talented jazz musician, originally from Cameroon, now living in Brussels. If you like his work and you’re looking for your own podcast producer, or you’re a musician looking for guidance, production, or someone to connect with over music, get in touch with Bachot.

In my first solo episode, I cover FEAR and the definition of and 12-stages of Burnout.

World Health Organization definition of Burnout:

“Burn-out is a syndrome conceptualized as resulting from chronic workplace stress that has not been successfully managed. It is characterized by three dimensions:

feelings of energy depletion or exhaustion;
increased mental distance from one’s job, or feelings of negativism or cynicism related to one's job; and
reduced professional efficacy.

Burn-out refers specifically to phenomena in the occupational context and should not be applied to describe experiences in other areas of life.”

12 Stages of Burnout:

1. Compulsion to prove oneself - demonstrating worth obsessively.

2. Working hard - with an inability to switch off.

3. Neglecting basic needs - lack of sleep, lack of healthy eating, lack of social interaction.

4. Displacement of conflicts - problems are dismissed.

5. Revision of values - values are skewed, friends and family dismissed, hobbies irrelevant.

6. Denial of emerging problems - intolerance, perceiving collaborators as stupid, cynicism, aggression, problems are viewed as caused by work.

7. Withdrawal - social life small or nonexistent, hard social contacts.

8. Odd behavioral changes - changes in behavior obvious to friends and family.

9. Depersonalization - seeing neither self nor others as valuable.

10. Inner emptiness - feeling empty inside.

11. Depression - feeling lost, exhausted and the future feels bleak and dark.

12. Burnout syndrome - includes mental and physical collapse; medical attention required.

Info on Mastermind for Physicians and Practitioners in Private Practice:

I’d like to share some upcoming opportunities to work with me. I’ve put together a Mastermind for physicians in private practice. This is an international group of remarkable humans who desire to change the trajectory of their patients’ lives through healing, education and support for the whole person. We’ll be combining mastermind meetings with workshops from marketing, finance and book publishing experts, and individual professional coaching with me. This is a unique opportunity to join a worldwide network of high-level professionals, to work with a seasoned executive coach and business consultant, AND learn from professionals in areas of business that will support you in your overall success. If you are, or if someone you know, is a physician in private practice who would be a great candidate for this opportunity, I’m taking applications now to fill the last couple of seats. We will begin in late March 2021. The best way to connect with me is via email at [email protected]
