A new study is published every 26 seconds!!!

Terrific time at @JulieSilverMD's sensational @harvardmed CME course #SheLeadsHealthcare!

Fortunate to have witnessed this course grow and evolve since 2016 -- this was the best year yet! Looking forward to serving as faculty again next year. Join us:

When dealing with stressed or burned out employees, don't give them less work. Instead, give them more gratifying work.

An incredible pearl from @JulieSilverMD on developing leadership strategy.

If you don't know where you're going, any road will do.

A simple but powerful sentence from @LaurieBaedke as we think about the importance of having a mission to drive us just as our organizations do.

Dr. W. Brad Johnson shares a variety of options for measuring outcomes for mentoring.

#SheLeadsHealthcare
#NeedHerScience

Dr. W. Brad Johnson shares: If you're going to mentor, you need to sponsor.

▪️Kick open doors.
▪️Be a "raving" fan.
▪️Share power and social capital.
▪️Match opportunities to your mentee's dreams.

#SheLeadsHealthcare
#NeedHerScience

Dr. W. Brad Johnson shares: If you can do one thing right as a mentor, do the affirming.

So true! Even small affirmations from mentors can be so meaningful.

#WomenInMedicine

Dr. W. Brad Johnson shares that high-functioning mentors often practice similar types of behaviors to support their mentees.
#SheLeadsHealthcare
#NeedHerScience

Dr. W. Brad Johnson shares that it's useful to screen for particular attributes amongst faculty who may become mentors. Not everyone is meant to be a mentor.
#NeedHerScience
#SheLeadsHealthcare

Dr. W. Brad Johnson shares: Struggling to get mentors to sign up for a formal program? Flip the script. If it's an exclusive opportunity, faculty may suddenly see it as that: an opportunity. #SheLeadsHealthcare #NeedHerScience

Dr. W. Brad Johnson shares: Informal mentoring is nice when it happens, but it leaves more to chance. Formal mentoring programs are more likely to yield success. #SheLeadsHealthcare
#NeedHerScience

We need to think beyond mentoring programs and look more act culture. Just because a program exists doesn't mean participants are benefitting.
#SheLeadsHealthcare
#NeedHerScience

After an incredible morning, I am so excited to hear Dr. W. Brad Johnson speak again about growing a mentor-rich training culture!
#SheLeadsHealthcare
#NeedHerScience

#SheLeadsHealthcare #NeedHerScience: join us after breakout sessions at Tico Boston for a #SoMeDocs meetup and social! Walking distance from the hotel!

Dr. W. Brad Johnson shares his recommendations for building a mentoring culture.
▪️Be available, be interested (even if you're an introvert 🙋‍♀️)
▪️Intentionally recruit empathetic faculty to be mentors
▪️Reward mentoring behavior!

"Women are asking to come to work and not be assaulted. If you can't get over that, you probably shouldn't be employed." -Ally/Advocate/Allstar, Dr. W. Brad Johnson on men avoiding mentoring women during the #MeToo era.

Yikes. We need to find a way past this.

Despite being beneficial for mentors and mentees, we still struggle in academic medicine to making mentoring a consistent and wide-spread option.
