Download MP3
In this episode of the MGMA Insights podcast, we’re joined by Sara Ross (bit.ly/38CtUmc), a keynote speaker, a leadership strategist and the Chief Vitality Officer at BrainAMPED (bit.ly/2P81UiC). Ross is set to open MGMA20 | The Financial Conference with a general session presentation titled “Welcome to the Energy Revolution.” If you're interested in attending The Financial Conference, we’ve got an exclusive $200 discount for podcast listeners looking to join us March 5-7 in Nashville. For more information or to register, visit mgma.com/TFC20 and use the promo code POD20 to receive your $200 discount. We’ve compiled a handful of highlights from Ross’s interview for your convenience: • (15:37) “I’ve seen leaders create environments where they’ve inadvertently made themselves indispensable. And that I think is a very, very dangerous place for people to be, because that means that they have to be a part of every decision. They have to attend every single meeting. They have to respond to every single email. ” • (16:57) “The word ‘self-care’ comes up, and we have a very narrow view of what that is. Sometimes we think that vegging out in front of Netflix is going to be the way to do it and not working is going to be helpful, but we just sit there and we scroll through our emails. Actually teaching people strategies to disconnect from the work that they’re doing and be present where they are is the second side of things that we don’t learn about because we’re so busy trying to work out of all the overwork that we’re experiencing.” Here are some links and reference related to this week’s show: • Hope Won’t Change Things, but this Simple Exercise Will… (bit.ly/3bNk4jk) • The ROI Of Leadership Development In The Rapidly Changing Healthcare Industry (bit.ly/2vGgGX0) • Helping Medical Professionals Avoid Burnout and Suicide (bit.ly/37AUDhp) If you like the show, please rate and review it wherever you get your podcasts.
