Dr. Hersch opens up about his experiences with career burnout and the profound impact it had on his professional and personal life. Through coaching, he discovered the importance of asking critical questions about what he truly wanted from his work and life. He candidly discusses the challenge of embracing vulnerability as a strength, particularly for male physicians, and how incremental changes like a 30-minute lunch break can lead to substantial improvements in mood and efficiency. Join us as Dr. Hersch shares how redefining personal boundaries and managing time intentionally have helped him create a more rewarding clinical practice without sacrificing his well-being. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Intentional Time Management: Implementing small adjustments like designating Monday mornings for administrative tasks and introducing a 30-minute lunch break led to enhanced focus and preparation for the day. Such changes can profoundly improve mood and productivity without compromising efficiency. Vulnerability as Strength: Embracing vulnerability is vital, especially for male physicians facing societal expectations. Discovering this aspect can facilitate personal growth and open opportunities to seek help, improving overall work-life balance. Navigating Skepticism: Encountering and embracing skepticism can uncover areas that require attention and transformation. My journey through skepticism led me into entrepreneurship, enabling me to assist fellow physicians in reshaping their career experiences.
