The Mind Full Medic Podcast

In S4 E11 I am delighted to welcome Victoria Lister to the podcast. Victoria has an extensive background in hospitality, advertising and the non-profit sector. She is PhD researcher in the Department of Employment Relations and Human Resources and the Centre for Work, Organisation and Wellbeing at Griffith University. Her PhD research is in the area of employee voice and silence in healthcare. It examines what junior doctors do and don't speak up about at work and why, with a special interest in the professional forces that shape junior doctor silence. Victoria also researches the voice and silence experiences of early career academics; works on health workforce wellbeing initiatives; has a 'side hustle' as a designer and retailer of women's active and underwear; and will soon offer coaching as a path to voice for junior doctors who are MDs, PhDs. or both.
In this conversation Victoria discusses her research work and defines employee voice and silence within the context of the healthcare environment. She describes the different lenses through which employee voice in healthcare can be viewed and expressed e.g patient safety and employee working conditions. We discuss in more detail her qualitative research with doctors and the junior doctor cohort in particular. Victoria explores the role of profession and culture and the so-called "hidden curriculum" of medicine and the barriers this can create to speaking up. Many core podcast themes and topics are re-visited in this, at times, hard to hear but crucial conversation. I am nevertheless encouraged by the hopeful pockets of excellence we highlight and the power of collective voice and momentum. Thank you Victoria.

In S5 E5 I am delighted to welcome Professor Himanshu Tambe to the podcast. Himanshu's passion is to empower individuals and organisations to thrive through continuous education. He is currently Visiting Faculty at the Singapore Management University (SMU) and the Indian School of Business (ISB) teaching Design of Business, Organisation Design, Leadership and Workforce Analytics. He also operates an early-stage software product company focused on optimising operations. Prior to this, he held several senior roles with Accenture Strategy & Consulting, the last one being the Managing Director for the Talent & Organisation Consulting business in Southeast Asia and India. Before that he worked for Arthur D Little, the world's oldest consulting firm; established and operated a niche Strategy and Organisation Design company; and worked as an automobile manufacturing engineer at the very start of his career.
Over a 30-year career in consulting and industry, he has proudly served more than 100 organisations across Public Sector, Metals & Mining and Banking in India, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Korea, Australia, and Europe. His work has been focused on designing and implementing Business Models, Organisation Design, Process Models, and Large-Scale Behaviour Change to deliver measurable improvements in the performance of people and organization. Over this period, Himanshu has acquired deep experience facilitating senior executive teams to execute change through vision and values alignment. Beyond the workplace he is, like me, an avid yoga practitioner and meditator and is learning jazz dance.
In this conversation Himanshu shares his insights from the global business environment on the key trends shaping the future of work and workforce. We discuss modern work and role redesign, humans versus machine, data-driven change, the quest to reconnect with meaning and purpose and investing in "hinge" leadership and unfreezing the frozen middle or core work-unit leaders. Many themes will be familiar to regular listeners and ultimately we are left with more questions and a call to action to reimagine the work environment. Thank you Himanshu.

In S5 E3 I am delighted to welcome Dr Resa E Lewiss and Dr Adaira Landry to the podcast to discuss their soon to be released book Microskills.
About the authors :
ADAIRA LANDRY, MD, MEd, www.adairalandryMD.com is an Assistant Professor of Emergency Medicine at the Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital, co-founder of WritingInColor.org, and co-author of MicroSkills: Small Actions, Big Impact.

They have written for CNBC, Fast Company, Forbes, Harvard Business Review, Nature, the Philadelphia Inquirer, Science, Slate, STAT News, Teen Vogue, VOGUE, and USA Today. They have been quoted and featured in the Guardian, the HuffPost, The New Yorker, and The New York Times.
About the book:
MicroSkills is built on one core, easy-to-learn principle: every big goal, complicated task, healthy habit, and, yes, even what we think of as character traits, can be broken down into small, concrete fundamental building blocks that can be practiced, and incorporated real-time. We call these: MicroSkills.

The book is a business self-help book, and we focus on educating the ready for college, ready for work community, and early career professionals with specific, actionable, strategies of the workplace. We share our successes, failures, doubts, observations to help keep the book engaging and personal. We also share very detailed critical actions to gain the MicroSkills. We try to make no assumptions about our readers as we realize that not everyone is starting in the same place. Our book covers topics, such as how to be a polished communicator, how to navigate conflict, how to build subject matter expertise, how to learn your workplace culture, and more.
In this conversation we discuss some of the core MicroSkills I identified in my reading of the book, including managing time and task lists, growing your network and making self-care a priority. This is a book I wish I'd had much sooner in my career but have taken many pearls to introduce to my own practice and routines. Thank you Adaira and Resa.

In S3 E4 I am delighted to welcome Dr Mark Shapiro MD to the podcast.
Dr Shapiro is a Hospitalist in full time clinical practice in Sonoma Vally, California. He is board certified in internal medicine, attained in University of California, San Diego. He has a BA in history from University of California, Los Angeles and spent some time as a sports journalist as an undergraduate.
Notably he is the creator, producer and host of the fabulous Explore the Space Podcast, a show focused on bringing healthcare providers and consumers together through conversation with leaders across a diverse spectrum of disciplines, expertise and interests. Mark is also a TEDx speaker and delivered his first TEDx talk in March 2021 on using compliments as a lever in health care ( link below). Dr Shapiro is an active voice on Twitter, a fan of the TV show Ted Lasso and inspiration behind the #MedLasso movement. He is also an avid home coffee roaster and Peloton bike rider.
In this conversation Mark takes me on a ride of wit and wonder as we explore his own creative career in healthcare. We discuss his professional role as a hospitalist and the increasingly rarity and value of generalist skills in modern healthcare.
He tells me about his passion and purpose as a podcaster and inspiration behind the Explore the Space show and arc of the podcast to date. With his obvious talent as a podcaster and a background in sports journalism, I am keen to glean tips and explore his own thoughts on the place for media training in medicine.
We discuss the place of social media platforms in medicine and potential podcasting affords to create connection, community and forge friendships in challenging times. I am particularly interested to hear about the momentum and inspiration behind the #medlasso movement which has gained considerable traction in our healthcare community.
Mark discusses his TEDx experience and talk on using compliments as a lever in medicine.
This conversation takes some delightful side trails into endurance running, the art and science of coffee roasting and why #medgrind has gained traction.
I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation and did feel I was getting some "coach Shapiro" schooling in the art of podcasting and rhetoric. Enjoy!

Welcome back to Season 2 Episode 7. In this episode I am delighted to introduce Dr Amandeep Hansra to the podcast.
Dr Hansra is a practicing GP in Sydney and a leader in digital health and telehealth in Australia. She is a director of Caligo Health. She was the first CEO & Medical Director of Telstra’s telemedicine business, ReadyCare and also served as the Chief Medical Officer for Telstra Health.

The platform provides information, education, opportunities and discussion of alternative career paths, side hustles and niche areas both within and outside medicine. The successful inaugural CCIM conference was held online in 2020.
In this episode we discuss her own fascinating and diverse career and the trajectory which led to her finding niche and expertise in digital health. Amandeep tells me about her experience as an expert through the past 12 months of the current pandemic when telemedicine has been thrust into the spotlight and has emerged as a future essential healthcare technology.
Amandeep talks about the inspiration and impetus behind Creative Careers in Medicine, why she thinks there is such an appetite for the platform and the powerful impact this growing community of health professionals has had to date as a supportive and safe space to connect and share stories and information.

We discuss the upcoming CCIM conference planned for November 5-7th in Sydney and the success of last year's inaugural virtual event.
As a passionate, engaging and undoubtedly "busy" doctor and mother Amandeep shares her personal strategies, values and goals for work-life integration and is really testament to the adage "Do what you love and you will never work a day in your life" Thank you Amandeep.
