The Mythical Balanced Life and Busy Health Professionals: New Challenges, New Solutions
Event Description
p>Dr. Wayne Sotile’s research has shown that resilience for health professionals correlates with the health of their personal relationships. More than ever before, contemporary health professionals at all stages of career report work/life integration challenges; and loved ones of health professionals report that they feel under-appreciated and under-supported by their communities.
This presentation offers a much-needed balm to this malady. With compassion and humor, clinical psychologist Wayne Sotile shares practical insights from his more than 35 years of work as a consultant to health professionals, their families, and their organizations; and from his landmark 2013 research study of medical families. Wayne has translated his lifetime work into a toolkit of practical, evidence-based strategies that distinguish those health professionals who manage to have it all: productive careers, work group and work community engagement, and thriving personal/family lives.
Presented with exquisite respect of cultural diversity, this presentation teaches tactics and strategies that can enhance any relationship. It has touched the hearts of tens of thousands of health professionals across disciplines and specialties throughout the country. This is the perfect celebration of health professionals and the people they love and work with.
