Your Passions May Not Be What You Think They Are, with Dr Surina Chibber

In this episode, Rachel is joined by Dr Surina Chibber, Portfolio GP, Red Whale GP Update Presenter and co-Founder of mylocummanager.com who was named as one of Pulse Magazine’s ‘Rising Stars’ last year. We talk about how the journey Surina has been on from locum GP to the founder of tech company, what she’s learned along the way, and the surprising truth that sometimes we find our passions as a result of following our interests, not following our passions. We chat about how to develop your skills in other areas and how GPs can make their lives easier and their jobs more fulfilling.Podcast linksSign up for downloadable CPD reflection forms plus more tools and resourceshttps://mylocummanager.comhttps://www.gp-update.co.uk/coursesFor more episodes of You are not a frog, check out our website www.youarenotafrog.co.uk and sign up to our mailing list here for loads of useful resources and tools for thriving at work. Follow Rachel on twitter @DrRachelMorris or LinkedIn and find out more about her online and face to face courses for doctors on surviving and thriving at work at www.shapesfordoctors.com or for other organisations at www.wildmonday.co.ukMentioned in this episode:Get your FREE mini video series The Truth About Burnout in Healthcare

Om Podcasten

The podcast for GPs, hospital doctors and other professionals in high-stakes, high-stress jobs who want to thrive rather than just survive. You studied for years, you’re really good at what you do but you’ve noticed that you’re starting to feel overwhelmed, overworked and under-resourced. You may be comparing yourself to a frog in boiling water - the heat has built up so slowly that you haven’t noticed the extra-long days becoming the norm. You may feel on the edge and trapped in the very job that you’ve spent years working towards. Here’s the problem, frogs only have two choices; stay and be boiled alive, or jump out of the pan. The good news is that you are not a frog. You have many more choices than you think you do. You don’t have to quit, and nor should stress and burnout be inevitable. It is possible to be master of your own destiny, to craft your work life and career so that you can thrive even in the most difficult of situations. There are simple changes you can make which will make a huge difference to your stress levels and help you enjoy life again. Your host is Dr Rachel Morris, GP turned Executive Coach and Specialist in Resilience at Work who knows what it’s like to feel like an exhausted frog. In the podcast, she’ll be talking to friends, colleagues and experts all who have an interesting take on resilience for clever people in high-stakes, high-stress jobs so that together you can take back control to beat stress and burnout, survive and thrive.
