Mentorship is one of the biggest drivers of job satisfaction for female physicians.

You Can’t Change Your Results Without Changing Your Mindset: How to Get Rid of That Persistent New Year’s Resolution for Good
Simply Worth It: Physician Negotiations with Dr. Linda Street
12/30/21 • 27 min
The beginning of a new year always brings up resolutions and goals we want to accomplish, but what happens when the same resolution keeps rearing its head every single January?
Well in my case, that persistent resolution is not overworking - something that should be easy with the contract I negotiated for myself, but it’s not. I still find myself feeling overwhelmed and overworked. The truth is: there’s a lot more to my overworking than my circumstances, it has a lot to do with my brain and the beliefs it’s clinging onto.
So how do we uncover why we struggle to accomplish what we want? Why are our thoughts so vital to what our results end up becoming?
In this episode, I’m going to share how to finally overcome a persistent New Year’s resolution through the lens of the mental model I’m personally working through.

Anatomy of a Transformational Conversation: Words That Create Curiosity and Words That Shut Down All Opportunities for Connection w/Ali Novitsky
Simply Worth It: Physician Negotiations with Dr. Linda Street
12/23/21 • 28 min
In the last episode, we established that the conversations we have can either create connection or completely shut it down. That difference ultimately comes down to the words we use, and the kinds of chemicals they shoot off in our brains.
Some words and conversations can trigger our fight or flight response, while others trigger happy neurochemical space where transformation is possible.
How do we learn to choose our words more wisely in negotiations?
In today’s episode, Ali Novitsky and I continue our discussion on conversations and how we can improve them.

Simply Worth It: Physician Negotiations with Dr. Linda Street
12/09/21 • 18 min
At the negotiation table, good communication skills are an absolute must. We have to find ways to align with the other side, understand their perspective and create a high-trust environment.
What if I told you that these skills are just as necessary at the family gatherings we’re going to be having over the next few weeks?

Simply Worth It: Physician Negotiations with Dr. Linda Street

Many people believe that clinical medicine is a straight and narrow road with no wiggle room or options - once you pick a model, you’re stuck with it forever.

Medicine & Career Transitions: The Natural Progression We Have to Embrace & Stop Feeling Bad About
Simply Worth It: Physician Negotiations with Dr. Linda Street
11/26/21 • 22 min
Change is a natural progression of our lives and careers - even as physicians. We won’t remain the same people we were when we started practicing medicine, and that’s a good thing!
Shifting our jobs to something that aligns with who we truly are should be celebrated, and we should always be able to advocate for the changes we want. Whether we’re taking on a new role, changing practices, or modifying our schedules, pursuing something different is a sign of growth, not a setback.
How do we advocate for ourselves at these transition moments? Why do we need to celebrate career shifts instead of judging them?
In this episode, we’re going to talk about inevitable career transitions and how to negotiate when they come up.

As we go through these transition periods, there’s often a bit of uncertainty in the mix. Can we make the change feel less terrifying?
How to escape the pressure to follow the crowd
Not everyone is built to be a clinician forever, and that’s okay. Why do we need to stop obsessing over how our careers are perceived, and start focusing on what works for us?
The Operating Leverage Concept: Why It's VERY Relevant to Physicians & How to Get it to Work in Your Favor
Simply Worth It: Physician Negotiations with Dr. Linda Street
11/18/21 • 17 min
In the context of business, operating leverage dictates the health and value of a company. As physicians, we can use this concept to evaluate what we get out of our jobs, and make sure it’s giving us more than it takes from us.
If our jobs deplete us so much that we end up running on empty, it’s time to dig into the operating leverage of daily work, and consider some micro-negotiations that can make it better.
How do we calculate our own operating leverage? If our job is taking more than it’s giving us, what changes can we make? In this episode, I talk about how we can get the operating leverage equation to work in our favor.

Start with No: The Dangers of Saying Yes by Default
Simply Worth It: Physician Negotiations with Dr. Linda Street
04/30/21 • 20 min
Saying yes to everything is a seemingly harmless act and the default response we’ve been conditioned to give, but does it actually serve us? When I look at this issue through the lens of physicians in the workforce, I can see the negative effects.
Most of us struggle to say no to things that don’t align with us and this is evident in the alarming levels of physician burnout we’re seeing.
As we become more deliberate about going after what serves us, we have to really get acquainted with the word “no”. It has to become our default answer.
What questions do we need to ask ourselves before we say yes to anything? How do we honestly and deliberately evaluate our opportunity cost?
In this episode, I talk about how to overcome the struggle with saying no, and how to carry that into our negotiations.
Three Things You’ll Learn In This Episode
Why saying yes by default is a flawed approach Most of us have been conditioned to have a default “yes” answer to everything we’re asked to do, but it should be the other way around - a default “no”. This gives us the space to really evaluate if something meets the criteria of our priorities.
The negative effects of committing to the wrong things There is definitely a connection between burnout and saying yes to everything. When we constantly commit to things that don’t align with our priorities, we go pull ourselves away from the things that matter. Before you say yes to something, factor those things in, whether it’s your family, your hobbies, or your time to rest.
How to evaluate the opportunity cost Our time is finite, and any time we say yes to something, we’re saying no to and taking our time away from something else. Evaluating the opportunity cost before we commit to something is a critical step to make sure it’s aligned with our overall goals and priorities.
