The Fully Well Doc Pod

Ep. 4 - Medicine - A Resilient Profession?

Listen Later

We talk to Coach Andry Anastasis about whether resilience training has a role in the medical profession and how we can improve our resilience both individually and collaboratively.

 

Topics we discuss:

 

  • Defining what resilience truly means today and the different ways people understand it
  • How working in the wellbeing/mental health industry, or writing a book about resilience,  doesn’t always protect you from your own burnout or mental health challenges
  • The importance of paying attention to your body and how you feel in order to be sustainably resilient
  • The balance of responsibility between the individual and the organisation when it comes to being resilient at work
  • Examples of organisational leaders getting it right when it comes to fostering a resilient workplace
  • Andry shares some practical and actionable tools we can use today, to improve and grow our resilience
  • How to recognise when it’s time to shift your focus from trying to build resilience and instead step away from a situation
