When in doubt, take the lead
In this empowering episode of The Clinician Researcher Podcast, Dr. Toyosi Onwuemene discusses the importance of stepping up and taking the lead, especially in moments of uncertainty. Reflecting on her own experiences, Dr. Onwuemene shares how she navigated building a conceptual model for rare disease research and discovered the power of proactive leadership.
Key Takeaways:
- Take the Lead in Defining Your Research Path:
- Early in your research career, you may follow others' projects. Eventually, you must define what matters to you and build your own niche.
- Create the Environment You Wish to See:
- Toxic environments are real, but you have the power to shape your immediate surroundings into spaces that nourish and support you—even temporarily.
- Be the Change You’re Looking For:
- Transformation begins with you. Instead of waiting for others to change, shift your own approach to challenges for better outcomes.
- Open the Doors That Are Closed:
- Don’t wait for permission to enter spaces that reject you. Create new doors, find welcoming opportunities, and take control of your success.
- Exit Spaces That Don’t Serve You:
- Recognize when it’s time to leave environments or relationships that no longer align with your goals or values. Moving on is part of growth.
Quote of the Episode: "When in doubt, take the lead. Leadership is about creating the solutions you need and sharing them with the world. Others are waiting for the change only you can bring."
