Welcome to the ROSC PodcastSuccess is the aggregate of good choicesEvery time we come across "another one of those" situations, we are presented with an opportunity to tip the scale toward what we want to become.But a crucial point to remember is that first of all, the scale only tips when you put weight in it.  So action is necessary to make change.The second thing to remember is that it is an uphill battle.  It always takes conscious effort.Enjoy, and let me know what you think!www.rosc.life

Welcome to the ROSC PodcastWe have talked about the idea of blaming yourself for everything you can, and I know that sounds very inflammatory.In this episode, we discuss the idea of spreading the blame among others, and why w feel the need to do it.Responsibility is not a percentage.  It is not a finite amount that will run out if put in the wrong place.  And even though others might think that way, when you realize that is the case, you begin to get comfortable taking on responsibility because you find it gives you one key super-power: Control.www.rosc.life

Welcome to the ROSC PodcastThe idea of being rigid on the goal but flexible on the details is crucial leadership principle.  If your goal is flexible or even non-existent, it could potentially lead you to be so aimless that you become fixed in your ways without an end point.  That leads to feeling lost.In this episode, we touch on the topic of having some sort of end point, no matter what it is, and using that to guide how you deal with the unexpected, with failure, and with pivoting.Feel free to subscribe, share, and like!www.rosc.life

To the blog post:https://blog.rosc.life/blog/the-do-something-principle-0In episode 5, we delve into a deep topic.  And this will not be the only time we do.Seth Godin has mentioned many times the example of someone who approaches him wishing they could be a great writer, and when he asks them to produce their bad writing, they have nothing to show. Getting good,  writing well, practicing better, none of it comes without going through the process of being no good.  But the bigger problem is that perhaps we in the medical community do not have, or have not provided, the space for someone to underperform.  What if we shifted our mindsets from an ego built on being intelligent to an ego built on learning.  What would that do to the process of error?Send in your comments, feedback, and questions to podcast@rosc.lifeAnd get on the cite and lead the discussion!

Send in your feedback or questions to podcast@rosc.lifeIn this episode, we discuss the meaning of debriefing  and what we can actually do to make it happen more often, but more importantly happen in a way where people feel okay to be vulnerable.The idea of eating our young is the first thing that needs to go, but in order to tackle it we need to understand where it might come from and how it can be replaced with what is better.  The next thing to tackle is the understanding that mindset is far more important than debriefing techniques because shifting your mindset from being intelligent and capable to being a learner and adaptable has great implications.Have a listen to see what I'm on about...Enjoy it, share it, and come to the site to lead the conversation.  www.rosc.life

Welcome back to Episode 2 of the ROSC Podcast.  You may notice some imperfections in the audio, but I'm getting better each time, so forgive me and bear with me!In this episode ,we talk a bit about the idea of doing generous work, of remembering this is a responsibility rather than just a gesture, and that Empathy is a major driving force.  Another major key in all of this is remembering that the generosity and empathy we seek in order to make a more harmonious workplace and life starts within us, and there simply is no way around it.  You have to do the things you want others to embody.  It is selfless, but that's what generosity is.Enjoy, lead the conversation on the blogs, and share this with someone who might benefit!
