Priceless Career Change Advice for Doctors UK: Challenges and How to Overcome Them - with Amy Vodarek

Episode Question: What is the key challenge high-performing doctors face in career moves?

Canadian, Amy Vodarek is a highly influential coach, public speaker, and Founder of Insight Edge whose speciality is supporting women leading high-impact projects as an entrepreneur or within an organisation

We talk about culture and the messages that can contribute to a lack of wellbeing and what happens when individuals get to the point of ‘should I stay or go?’

High-performing professionals need clarity on how to take their expertise and what they enjoy; reshaping it to where they are now.

Amy explains how clarity can be achieved and the possibilities explored to move forward in your career with fulfilment.

  

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• There is a culture of overwork and putting yourself at the bottom of the priority list 
• People can want to make change but not know how to go about it
• In some organisations, it can be challenging to find the person who can help
• There needs to be new thinking around how to build a robust career development path that gives people what they need
• If you can’t communicate with the decision makers then you are in the position of looking at the other options available
• When doctors get to the question of should I stay or go? it's important they can gain clarity on the next steps
• How can you take what you enjoy, and are good at and reshape it to where you are in your life now?
• Everything you’ve learned you will take forward with you
• A coach is a listener bringing a unique observer to the conversation
• A listener can help you to see things differently and help you to identify your good life
