39 - You as the Most Important Investment with Dr. Michelle Jackman

Dr. Kevin Mailo welcomes physician coach, Physician Empowerment masterclass student, and 2024 Physician Empowerment conference speaker Dr. Michelle Jackman to the show today. Physician Empowerment not only focuses on financial health but on the mental and emotional health of physicians as well. Dr. Jackman’s coaching aims at that need for emotional well-being and improves the mental health of physicians throughout their careers.Dr. Michelle Jackman came to physician coaching during Covid, by asking questions about her own career path and satisfaction. She worked with Dr. April Elliott, an executive coach, and Dr. Nadeem Lalani, a physician coach, and the self-awareness she gained guided her into leaving the career path that wasn’t satisfying her and into coaching instead. She describes coaching as allowing us to prioritize ourselves and allowing us to make a commitment to ourselves and not just to our jobs and demands.Dr. Mailo and Dr. Jackman discuss all aspects of physician coaching from acknowledging strengths and learning from accomplishments to evidence-based neuroscience and how our brains can be rewired to change our thought patterns. Michelle offers small group and one-on-one coaching and she describes the benefits of both to Kevin. She affirms that asking for help is not a sign of weakness but of strength and encourages physicians to seek out coaching if they need support.Dr. Michelle Jackman will be at the Physician Empowerment Live conference in Toronto on May 25 and 26. –About Dr. Michelle Jackman | physician coach, PhE masterclass student, 2024 PhE conference speaker:Dr. Michelle Jackman is a practicing pediatrician, born and raised in Ontario.
