The what, why and how of Microskills with Resa E Lewiss MD and Adaira Landry MD.
04/10/24 • 67 min
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.
RESA E LEWISS MD www.resalewissmd.com is a Professor of Emergency Medicine at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, creator host of The Visible Voices Podcast, 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.

Deep Listening, Brave Conversations and the goal of Connection with Dr Anna Baverstock
In S5 E4 I am delighted to welcome Dr Anna Baverstock to the podcast,
Anna is a consultant in community child health looking after children with complex neurodisability and their families. She has been an educational supervisor and Associate DME for support and wellbeing. She was invited to be a member of the NHS Staff and Learners’ Mental Wellbeing Commission in 2019 (Mental Wellbeing Report | Health Education England (hee.nhs.uk)). Currently she is lead for senior doctor wellbeing and leadership within Somerset NHS Foundation Trust.
Anna is a trained coach, mediator and Schwartz round facilitator. Her philosophy is how do we ensure the first patient of the shift and the last get the same kind, safe care? We must look after ourselves and our teams during our working day. A big part of this is how we connect to self and others especially when under pressure. Can we form brave spaces to enable honest conversation that enable growth and change?
When not talking she loves to run, do yoga, read, draw and doodle often inspired by quotes or poems that resonate.
In this wonderful conversation we discuss Anna's wellbeing leadership, mediation and coaching work. Key themes discussed here include :
Deep listening - to understand and connect, not reply or control.
Brave conversations- how can we lean into the challenging conversations including where there is conflict or we need to give or receive difficult feedback. As Anna tells it "Difficult conversations don't get easier, but we get braver" with practice.
Connection- in her work to empower and support core work-unit leaders in healthcare and build kind, inclusive cultures where high challenge comes with high support, psychological safety is the means and the goal is connection and creating space for deep listening. Thank you Anna, this conversation is a masterclass in wellness centred leadership.
