The Power Shift episodes

August 20, 2022Career Change Inspiration: Can Doctors Move into Interior Design?
Episode Question: Can doctors move into interior design?
In this episode, I talk with Dr. Joanna Draper who completed her core surgical training and then stepped away from her surgical career pathway and moved into a career in interior design
We discuss how she came to the decision to make a change and what training she undertook to move into a career in interior design. Joanna also explains how her medical skill set has enabled her to progress quickly to a leadership position with her current Interior Design employer and candidly reflects with me on whether changing careers was the right decision for her.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
As I progressed in my medical career I craved doing something more creative
I don’t regret doing medicine because I wanted to know that I could do it
In the end, I reached a place of burnout, realised I couldn’t sustain it and began to realise I was sacrificing too much of my life
I looked at what I enjoyed as a starting point and rediscovered interior design
Spending a year as a surgical HO was an opportunity to look at which area of medicine I might want to specialise in and ultimately confirmed for me that I wanted to make a change
Stepping away is hard because of the time spent training and the investment that has been made
Interior design does lend itself to transferable skills
My job is 10% creative and 90% logistical operations and makes effective use of the logistical skills I brought from being a doctor
College provided the network of contacts that meant that I was offered a role at the business where I interned
This is not an industry that pays hugely and the best financial benefits come through being part of the management team or having your own studio

BEST MOMENTS
‘My company is select and we work with high net worth individuals’
‘The skillset from medicine was valued and gave me an advantage
‘My training as a doctor means I can keep things in perspective’

August 06, 2022How to Start a Tech Company as a Doctor: Turning Business Ideas into Reality
Want to know how to start a tech company? Then this week’s show was made for you.
Maybe like many new entrepreneurs, you have a great business idea but no clue what to do with it.
It’s a common problem, because turning business ideas into reality is no easy feat - especially if you’ve never done it before.
The good news?
It’s entirely possible with the right mindset, a great support system, a clear plan of action and a big dose of determination.
And there’s no better guest to explain exactly how to start a tech company as a doctor than this week’s guest, Dr Michael Watts.
He’s the co-founder of Blüm Health, a software development company founded by clinicians and engineers who are enabling digital health innovation by supporting solo entrepreneurs and NHS trusts to turn business ideas into reality.
In this episode, we focus on the steps needed to take an initial concept to the point of delivery and discuss the potential challenges you may face as a doctor entrepreneur stepping into this alternative career path.
With the right support, a health tech idea can be the change that improves outcomes and adds value and Michael shares great career advice about how clinical entrepreneurs can successfully achieve this

KEY TAKEAWAYS
The best way to start a tech company is one step at a time
Recognising the skills you bring to the team and working with people with complementary skills is key
Effective time management, surrounding yourself with people who have the skills to solve the problem with you and accessing the right network for funding are crucial if you want to start a tech company
Find a team, find the time, and understand the landscape you will have to navigate
Academic health science networks and accelerators are there to speed up the process
Change occurs when the pain of staying the same is greater than the pain of change
When you can demonstrate that the change you want to implement is an easier way of providing care than what currently exists there is no reason why it shouldn’t be adopted
There are ways to prove concept before you go to digital
Experience is everything in software engineering and you need to work with someone who shares the vision
Look forward and stay reactive to needs and your clients

BEST MOMENTS
‘We’ve had some really impactful projects that we have worked on’
‘It’s about clinical insight and finding the problems to solve’
‘A complimentary clinical and non-clinical team brings an understanding of the system and the technical ability’
‘Understanding the scale of the problem is the first step prior to looking for a solution’

OUR MISTAKES
This episode is an example of how we need to really support our guests in turning off their computer notifications and sounds. And perhaps wear headphones too!
We're learning!

July 30, 2022Career Capital And Culture in Pharma - feat. pharma doctor and social entrepreneur Dr. John Ndikum
Episode Question: What is the culture like in pharma for doctors?
In this episode John Ndikum, doctor, writer and poet talks with me in depth about a career in pharma, the entry pathways and the foundations you need
We discuss career capital - the fuel you need to advance you to where you want to be in your career and the impact of culture in both start-ups and larger organisations and how to have the difficult conversations
As we go deep this is a great opportunity to hear why you should upskill in the direction you want to go and make every action a tactic in your journey to where you want to be

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Pharma is a popular option due to the breadth and opportunities available
Career capital is the fuel you need to advance yourself in your career
Culture is different for everyone and it’s how the workplace feels, how everyone makes each other feel
Companies that make people feel good are those in the most demand so you need to have good career capital to be considered
You need to demonstrate what you can do for the company in order to be able to have the conversation
Recruiters are the bridge between you and the company, they are both collaborators and gatekeepers
I began being driven by push factors but converted that to being motivated by pull factors
My mindset is that you need something bigger than you to motivate you
I want to look back and be proud of who I am and every action now is a tactic towards that end
Companies can go through pinch points as they grow and bigger companies have the resources to deal with any issues with culture
A company needs to live by its values and these need to cascade down into each domain
You can be empirical in the way you translate values and culture into tangible actions

BEST MOMENTS
‘I wanted to make a difference at a population level and use the skills I had’
‘It’s an empirical way of guiding your career’
‘Lots of good moments and lots of learning that have increased my career capital’
‘If you continue to upskill you can become an attractive proposition’

July 23, 2022Is it better to be a doctor in the US or UK? US job search and career change advice
Episode Question: Why do Doctors seek alternative careers in the US vs the UK?
In this, not to be missed episode, I’m introducing you to Dr. John Jurica MD, MPH, CPE, co-founder and career strategist at New Script and the host of the hugely successful Physician Non-Clinical Careers podcast
Dr. John pivoted from clinical to non-clinical work and is passionate about helping other doctors to understand the possibilities and extensive range of alternative opportunities out there.
We discuss the difference between doctors exploring different and diverse careers in the UK and US and take a look at the driving factors for diversification.
Dr. John also shares great information on alternative careers in the US that utilise the inherent and extensive skill sets of doctors

KEY TAKEAWAYS
The systems we find ourselves in, burnt out, taken for granted and taken advantage of after spending thousands of hours learning isn’t right
I want physicians to know that there are other great options and these can reinspire individuals
We haven’t been able to achieve any power or leverage in large bureaucratic organisations that mostly don’t recognise us as professionals
As professionals, we want to be able to meet with our patients and work with them face to face
There are many alternatives where you can successfully use your medical background to help people, make an income and feel professionally fulfilled
Diversification is key to keeping your options open and non-clinical work can be part of this
Doctors have great inherent skill sets, they think analytically and work well in teams making them great people to hire
If you are going to be an entrepreneur you need to learn how to sell yourself
If you are diversifying getting an additional certification can help with moving into alternative areas

BEST MOMENTS
‘You need to take advantage of the alternatives out there’
‘Public health could be a good way to get into the system in the US’
‘I’m dedicated to finding different ways to help physicians’
‘There are at least twenty major consulting firms that hire physicians on a regular basis’

July 09, 2022How to Become a Chief Medical Officer - Do You Really Need to Be a Senior Doctor to Do it?
‘How senior a doctor, do you need to be to a Chief Medical Officer?’
In this episode I am joined by Dr Johnny Andrews to discuss the role of a Chief Medical Officer (CMO) and what it really takes to be one.
Is seniority as a doctor a key factor in whether you can get this role?
Johnny himself has made the journey to CMO from Foundation year 2 level and shares great insights into the role and what it takes along with great tips on what YOU can do to effectively position yourself to make it to Chief Medical Officer at a company of your choice.
Oh.. and we mention 'CCT'.. a lot.. and didn't explain the acronym for those not familiar with the term. It means 'Certificate of Completion of Training' in the UK - where you become the golden child.. AKA Consultant or the point where you've finished your training in that specialty.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Every job and business will want something specific to their unique selling point
As CMO, you are an executive and leader within the company with managerial responsibilities
It was my background and exposure to regulatory procedures combined with being proactive about having the conversation
The size of the company influences the multiple skill sets required
There comes a point when you are growing a company that you need to be able to focus on specific areas
A leadership position will require decision making and the medical title means it’s a medical role requiring opinions and advice reflecting this medical position
Any doctor can do a number of roles It’s about confidence and how you sell yourself
Any doctor can apply to be a CMO its about you communicating your experience and skills

BEST MOMENTS
‘The role itself is medical and I bring my insights from the NHS’
‘I value the time face to face with patients’
‘Start-ups and more established companies have different expectations’

In this episode, I interview one of the most influential podcasters in health tech, Tjaša Zajc host of the ‘Faces of Digital Health’ podcast.
We discuss the questions around how and why a doctor may want to set up a podcast from the benefits through to practicalities, possible formats and why it's vital you are consistent
There are varied reasons for hosting a podcast from the opportunity to amplify your own voice and message to sharing inspiring content from expert guests. If you are thinking about setting up a podcast this is a great listen with a combination of practical advice and aspirational content from someone who is both influential and has a wealth of experience and knowledge in the area of podcasting.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

You need to be very consistent in your publishing to succeed you need to form a habit with your audience
If you are curious about what others think, a format where you interview others could be the right one for you

June 25, 2022How to Get Health Tech Jobs for Doctors?
In this episode, I tackle the frequently asked question about how to get a job in Health Tech as a doctor.
I explain the 3 main approaches that can be used when looking for a new role and share my unique knowledge on how each can be used in the most effective way
With health tech being a relatively new sector, there are fantastic opportunities you can access as a doctor.
This is an informative listen that provides useful approaches to move you to the role you want to have.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
There are 3 main ways of getting a job in health tech – the traditional Front door approach, the Side door – where you enter either traditionally or through project work then move into other roles, and the Back door – through a warm network referral
The front door approach is the traditional process of applying for a role when it’s advertised
Many jobs are never advertised so this can limit the roles and opportunities
The side door approach lets you test out the company you are interested in by doing some project work
If a company already knows and trusts an individual when something becomes available that individual will be their choice
With the back door approach, you need to identify anyone you know who can give you a referral, look at your network of colleagues, friends, and family for connections to the area you want to work in
Events are a great way of meeting new people and building new relationships
Approximately 20-30% of new hires come from referrals alone

BEST MOMENTS
‘You need someone who can champion you into getting a project or job’
'LinkedIn is a huge network resource for finding other doctors'
