249. Own Your Value: The Business Skills Physicians Need for a More Fulfilling Career

Physicians use business, marketing, leadership, and negotiation skills every day—even if no one ever taught us to call them that. In this episode, Dr. Jessie Mahoney reframes these often uncomfortable ideas through a more authentic, human lens. Business is not about being salesy. It is about people, connection, trust, clear communication, and understanding the value you bring. Whether you are caring for patients, collaborating with colleagues, advocating for a program, asking for a raise, pursuing promotion, or building something of your own, how you communicate matters. When you are clear about your strengths, experience, and impact, you show up with more confidence, greater influence, and more capacity to create the career you want. In this episode, Jessie explores how physicians can: Communicate their value without losing authenticity Advocate strategically for themselves and their work Build trust with patients, colleagues, and institutions Use language and framing to inspire change Practice reciprocity instead of overgiving Create a more fulfilling and sustainable relationship with medicine You are not just a healer. You are also a leader, a communicator, and someone with wisdom worth sharing. To learn more about coaching with Dr. Jessie Mahoney, visit https://www.jessiemahoneymd.com/coaching
