Ep. 4 - Medicine - A Resilient Profession?

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
