E10 - Asking for Help: A Taboo We Need to Break in Healthcare
THE 1% CHALLENGE
Alan says part of his journey towards health has been learning to also do resistance training. As a follow up to see if that 1% resistance training decreased the teeth brushing, 1%. If it all evened out or maybe more than 1%, we'll see.
ASK FOR HELP IN HEALTHCARE
What does it look like for leaders in healthcare to ask for help? We want to think about why we might do that. And then also how do we discern?
WHY IS IT SO HARD TO ASK FOR HELP?
In many cultures, it's really frowned upon to ask for help. Why is it so hard for us? We're going to get beneath the surface of help and invite all of you to come along.
THE NEED FOR INTERPROFESSIONAL COLLABORATION
Many healthcare professions don't know what dietitians do. Imagine the synergy of the three of us being able to care for the patient together. It takes away some of the stress from those other healthcare professionals. In our instances as healthcare professionals, it betters the patient.
THE IMPETOR PHENOMENA
The impact of impostor phenomenon on asking for help can be huge. It's something that I'm really passionate about addressing in my students and in the young professionals that I mentor. Use that to springboard to when is it appropriate to ask for help?
ASK FOR HELP: MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE
There really continues to be a stigma of seeking help for mental health or substance abuse. What do we do as leaders? Create a culture of safety in your team so that people can bring their authentic selves and then ask for help when they need it.
THE IMPORTANCE OF ASKING FOR HELP
Alan Caplan: When I see someone else ask for help, it sheds some light on the fact that it's a safe place for me to too, when appropriate. He says if a leader never ever asks for help in any way, it is harder for them to expect others to do the same. Caplin: What served me well younger in life now at 51 is not serving me as well.
ASK FOR HELP
It can be very hard for me to ask people younger than myself for help. Look for the people that can benefit the patient. When I am willing in humility to admit and then to articulate that I don't know how to do, fill in the blank. Having a mentor can help you make decisions if you are unsure.
KATIE ON FINDING A MENTOR
Katie, as you sought out mentors and still do, was that an easy process for you, challenging? We've got to have common interests and somewhat of common personalities to make it work. Fear of rejection can keep me from asking for help, but we all need help in various capacities.
TALKING TO KATIE ABOUT MULTITASKING
Up next is multitasking and how it might just not be working for you. I'm going to suggest a less difficult and easier topic for next time. Katie is always enjoyed our conversation. Stay tuned.
