171. Looking for Black Swans with Dr Mel Thacker

I had the pleasure of interviewing Mel, who shared her journey from being an ENT surgeon to becoming a professional coach. We explore her difficult experiences in childhood and in medical training, and how coaching has helped her reclaim her sense of self-worth and empowerment. Mel introduced the concepts of black swans and red swans, highlighting the need for healthcare professionals to recognize the unknowns in a patient encounter in order to be effective Learn more about Hippocratic Collective: https://hippocraticcollective.org/Connect with Mel: https://www.melthackercoaching.com/empoweredsurgeonhttps://www.instagram.com/the_surgeon_coach/Connect on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joanchanmd
