Dr. Kat Zechar tells us two hilarious stories that remind us of the humanity of doctors, one as an eager intern, and one as an attending supervising residents. She has wicked storytelling skills. I laughed SO HARD in this interview!

Kat is a physician educator and married mom of 2. She focuses on resident wellness and feedback with a lot of hands-on-mentoring, so she frequently jokes that it feels like she has 54 children. Life is a special kind of juggling for her right now with a husband who works 24 hour shifts at the firehouse, and 3 & 6 year old... but when she breaks away from that her loves are Aerial Acrobatics, meditation, and single malt scotch.

• The World's Best Mashed Potato Recipe!

Jane helps frustrated professionals to secure their next role through 1:1 Coaching, Group Programmes and a selection of online courses and downloadable eBooks. She came to this after experiencing redundancy not once but twice in one year - once her choice, the other not. Before setting up her own coaching practice she had a 20+ year career in senior HR roles such as HR Business Partner, Head of Leadership Development and Head of Talent at British Airways before joining LEON Restaurants as their very first Head of Training. All of this means that Jane has been active in the job market in recent years. She understands exactly how much effort you need to put into each job application and how frustrating it can be when you get ghosted after an interview. She has also been on the other side of the recruitment table, so knows exactly what recruiting managers are looking for..
