We hear all the time that we should “reinvent” ourselves to stay relevant. Or that we should ignore or dismiss aspects of our careers that no longer seem to “fit” with what we're doing now. I'm not sure we can truly “reinvent” ourselves, nor should we. Instead, we should embrace how we evolve over time - and actually seek out ways to challenge ourselves to evolve! In this episode, Diane Diaz, our lead speaking coach, joins me for a lively and insightful conversation about the difference between reinvention and evolution. We explore why embracing your full self - quirks, career twists, and even those moments that feel “messy” - is essential for authenticity and personal branding. Diane shares how her Ironman journey continues to influence her life, even years later, and I reflect on bringing my tech background into Speaking Your Brand's evolution. You'll learn: Why “reinvention” might not be the right word (and why evolution feels more authentic) The importance of challenging yourself - even when it feels uncomfortable How to embrace all aspects of your past, from childhood passions to career pivots, to shape your personal brand What saying “yes” to unexpected opportunities (hello, comedy sets!) can do for your growth   This episode is full of personal stories and actionable takeaways to help you think about what's next for you. Whether it's launching a podcast, tackling public speaking, delivering a TEDx talk, or simply trying something new, it's never too late to evolve. This episode was filmed in one of the beautiful studios on the campus of Full Sail University, where Diane and I have been teaching business and marketing classes since 2009.

Stress and trauma change the hormones your body produces which has an effect on your blood vessels.”“Racism and sexism also impact the care. We receive different care as a result of the biases on behalf of providers that may not even be aware that they have sexist or racist beliefs.”“There are literally today, in 2024, neighborhoods in black communities across the U.S. where there are no grocery stores.”“Black doctors are 5% of physicians.”“Health care would look completely different if we all approached patients and families with empathy. If we took the time and explored and invested in understanding how our patients got to where they are. ““What would it look like for us to put humanity first?”

I recently had the honor of attending the TEDWomen conference in Atlanta, Georgia. Over 3 days, I heard 35 speakers deliver their TED talks, on topics ranging from democracy to abortion rights, menopause to artificial intelligence.  Of course, as I was sitting in the audience, I was taking lots of notes on each speaker, how they structured their talk, the elements they included, and how they delivered it. I've taken those notes and identified 7 key things the best speakers do. Whether you're delivering a TEDx talk, a keynote, a conference session, or a business presentation, you can use these 7 things to make your talks impactful and memorable.

With over 10 years of medical experience in pediatrics, Dr. Nicole Rochester found herself on the other side of the doctor-patient relationship as a caregiver for her father.

She knew she wasn't alone in this struggle. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Health equity is essential in providing quality healthcare to all individuals regardless of background. However, even in the modern healthcare system, gender and racial biases still influence health outcomes. In today's episode, host Natalie Benamou is joined by Dr. Nicole Rochester as she talks about her advocacy of promoting greater equity in the healthcare world. Dr. Rochester is the founder of Your GPS Doc, which aims to bridge the gap between healthcare professionals, patients, and their families. Dr. Rochester also shares her experience as a caregiver for her father and how it transformed the work she is doing today. She created the GPS System to help patients and caregivers advocate for themselves. The GPS System:When preparing to have a conversation with your doctor, arm yourself with these your voices can be heard:G – Gather informationP – Position yourself as an expertS – Speak upDoing all these, you or your family members can show up more confidently in healthcare settings, make better choices, and get appropriate care. Dr. Rochester also touches on the Serena Williams story. Williams was diagnosed with blood clots in her lungs in 2010, and medical professionals also found an abdominal hematoma. After giving birth to her daughter Olympia in 2017, she began to lose feeling in her legs. The the hospital staff was initially dismissive, but after insisting on getting tests done, it was determined that she needed immediate surgery. Statistics show that women of color are not receiving healthcare and dying 3-4x more from childbirth than other ethnicities. What you can do: Advocate for yourself. Ask questions, be curious, and make sure that the care you are receiving is appropriateShow up more confidently in healthcare settings using Dr. Nicole T.

Series premiere. Dr. Nicole Rochester, IDF's Medical Advisor for Health Equity, discusses the differences between equality and equity, where disparities in health equity can be found, and some of the consequences of a healthcare system that erodes the trust between patients and physicians.

SHOW NOTES In this week's Mind ReMapping Moment, I am joined by a fellow physician, a woman, and the owner of the GPS Doc. She is a former family caregiver, an independent health advocate, a healthcare navigation expert, a speaker, a consultant, and an author. We are discussing the article- The Empathy Gap which tackles why we must stop ignoring the obvious. · How do we get our leaders to understand the value of improving emotional intelligence and resilience? · How can one be trauma-informed in interaction with others? · Why do we need to stop ignoring the obvious? These and many more await you in this week's special episode with Dr. Nicole Rochester, MD. A health equity consultant who launched health advocacy to help and guide others to understand and navigate the healthcare system. In this episode, she will discuss her article and how connecting with others is essential. Today, we will also learn how we can be trauma-informed when interacting with others. What is The Empathy Gap all about? The empathy gap explains why Black and Brown patients were disproportionately denied emergency medical care and hospital admission at the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic and why there is a long history of health and healthcare disparities for racially and ethnically minoritized individuals. The empathy gap illuminates the need for a more diverse workforce, not to check a box because we are more likely to demonstrate empathy when we see ourselves in others. Dr. Nicole wrote this after watching a documentary- The Color of Change, highlighting the disparate and inequitable care received by Black and Brown individuals during the COVID-19 pandemic. She was compelled to what she had been through and was taken back to her experiences. The 90-second Encounter The 90-second Encounter is a term Dr. Nicole coined in her TEDxTalk and was inspired by her caregiving journey. It is about spending the first 90 seconds of every Encounter just engaging with patients humanly. It is beneficial for the patients and will feed the soul of physicians and other healthcare providers. Connecting also filled Dr. Nicole every day, as physicians also got burnout, and establishing this was like an antidote and built that therapeutic alliance. Tools to be more trauma-informed First, we must recognize and be aware of what is happening with the people around us because collegial interaction is also impactful. Second is the acceptance of condition such as personal condition and societal condition and how it shows up in the organization. Lastly is taking action because knowing without effort makes no difference. As to what is stated in a quote, "When we know better, we do better." There are obvious things that get talked about and not-so-obvious things that people will not discuss. Such as how everything is business and that most decisions are made around profitability. Leadership need to acknowledge the problem and takes innovative step to solve it. The tools mentioned above are part of skill building which is what we need to close the empathy gap. Until we re-examine our thoughts and be willing to be in another person's shoes, shift perspective, and take action, take the next step. Then we will not get anywhere, and we will be unable to close that empathy gap.

Adopting an anti-racist approach requires more than reading books and marching for justice.  That's why Govans Presbyterian church has welcomed singer and activist Lea Gilmore as its first  ‘Minister for Racial Justice and Multicultural Engagement.' She and Pastor Tom Harris talk about ways the church's white congregation is working to engage with the surrounding diverse Baltimore neighborhood.  “Lea has helped us say, no - you all need to do some work. Go and march if you want, go to Annapolis if you want, but to do anti-racism work is deeply personal, internal work within each member of the church and with the congregation as a whole.”  Plus--pediatrician Nicole Rochester on why racism should be viewed as a public health crisis.
