The world of medicine and healthcare is long overdue for a change, but not in the way that enough leaders are focusing.From the high stress of resuscitation to the daily interactions with colleagues and consultants, the key to a better disposition for ourselves, then our patients, is agency. Agency over our inner leader, our inner team-member, guiding ourselves through the trials of our egos, our insecurities, and our mindsets. With this community, my hope is that we can come together and build on the tools we have to improve the above skillsets. If we create a common language, then perhaps we can come together as co-leaders, co-authors, and co-creators to change the way we approach the existing culture of medicine and resuscitation.Have a listen, we need you...

038. Showing Up

March 13, 2023 15:00 - 26 minutes - 18.3 MB

In this episode, we deal with the idea of showing up, especially when you don't feel like it. But what does it mean to show up?  How do we decide to step forward with the qualities that display leadership, optimism, empathy, and objective strength particularly when we have every reason inside us or outside us to not bring that to the table? There is a power to taking the steps even when we don't feel like they have meaning behind them. Enjoy, and let me know what you think! www.rosc.life

Welcome to the ROSC Podcast Success is the aggregate of good choices Every time we come across "another one of those" situations, we are presented with an opportunity to tip the scale toward what we want to become.

Tribalism is something rampant within healthcare that leads to a lot of unprocessed preconceptions.
