THE 1%, UPDATE ON MY PHYSICAL HEALTH
For our check in, Alan and Katie share some of the things they're working on. Alan says he's been tapering off sugar. Katie: What's your 1% update? Alan: We need to have some episodes dedicated to actual physical health.
HAVE YOU LOST WEIGHT WITH THIS DIET?
Katie is training to become a leadership coach. She says being present with people is hard to do when you are leading with so much forward energy. Part of being present is checking in and just taking it down a notch, she says.
KATIE HIKES THE GRAND CANYON
Katie had the incredible honor, blessing, privilege to hike the Grand Canyon rim to Rim. It took us about 11 hours. I highly recommend it to people who are able to take the time and physically able to do it.
APPLYING CONFIDENCE TO OUR ASSUMPTIONS
We're going to talk about assumptions. Do you make assumptions every day? Absolutely. They can be about others or about ourselves. Are our assumptions correct or incorrect? Are they good or bad?
ABNORMALLY CONFUSING QUESTIONS AS A HEALTHCARE LEADER
As a pharmacist, I made the assumption that I don't know enough. Let me give you an example of an assumption about a fellow healthcare professional. It can be easy to assume some things that aren't in fact. We're trying to be better leaders both in the workplace and at home.
APPLYING HUMILITY TO TEAM MEMBERS
Katie, I have been very guilty of making assumptions about other people on my team. I think that assumptions can be a huge threat to teamwork, especially when those assumptions become labels. You can approach the situation with humble inquiry instead of the ask versus a tell mindset.
ABNORMATIONS IN THE WORKPLACE
Alan: Where do you think assumptions come from? How did we get here? He says sometimes we make positive assumptions and things get that like halo effect. If we're not thinking critically and asking the questions, that positive impact can also get us into trouble.
IN THE ELEVATOR WITH ANNOUNCER
Alan : What is 1% that I can do to be different about my assumptions? The first step is naming my assumption. These can be subtleties. Sometimes they're very obvious, sometimes they're subtle. Being able to articulate with specificity is important.
QUESTIONS ABOUT CONFIDENCE AND INCLUSION
We need others to see our face. Am I willing to ask others and then to receive that feedback every once in a while? How assumptions can really hold us back from doing new things. Leaders define culture. And so it starts with me.
AS A LEADER, ABSURD THOUGHTS AND BURNOUT
As a leader, I'm noticing two of my colleagues have made a lot of false assumptions. These assumptions limit, in this case, limit the quality of care I provide my patients. The potential relationship between making assumptions and stress and burnout. As leaders, I want to continually be checking in, asking those questions.
AN ACCUSED PERSON MADE A FALSE ASSESSMENT OF YOU
When I was younger, I got labeled as shy, reserved. This can happen to introverts. We have to be careful in this space because we can then begin to label and to assume things. It can have a very detrimental effect if we don't connect with the why.
ABSURD ASSUMPTIONS MADE ABOUT OTHERS
When I make assumptions, I am coming at it from my own perspective. But when I impose that on you or it's an ought or should on you, then you can see the detrimental effect. How do we do that? We do it with curiosity.
CONFIRMATIONS ABOUT THE 1%
We want to encourage you not to respond with guilt and shame if that's a tendency you have. This is not about perfection. It's about progress, not perfection. We always want you to come away, hopefully encouraged and convicted.
LET'S TALK EMOJI
Well, Katie, it's about time for my cookie fix. I'm curious what the emoji is going to be at 03:00. All right, well, get out there and challenge those assumptions, everybody. Until next bye.
