Having met with a number of pioneers in this space through the podcast, I believe that the future looks bright for innovations in care when AI is applied thoughtfully and collaboratively.
Dressing to Inspire Confidence: My Kevin MD Podcast Conversation
There is research on the way that physicians, especially women, are judged by the clothes that they wear. And whether we like it or not, clothing is an important signifier of professionalism to patients and family. In my recent podcast appearance with Kevin MD< we talked about the power of dressing to inspire confidence.
On my recent podcast appearance with Kevin Pho, M.D., we talked about the way the clothes you wear can impact the way that you're perceived by your patients, your colleagues, and your staff.
For instance, are your administrators wearing scrubs? Probably not, because they understand the language and the power of clothing and presentation.

My Podcast Appearance with Kevin MD on Meditation and Mindfulness
In my recent conversation with Kevin Pho, M.D we discussed how mindfulness can have far-reaching effects not only for physicians, but for those you we care for. We also discussed the best times for meditation, when you might want to avoid it, and how a brief meditation can impact your sense of well-being.
As a physician coach, I love sharing this story, because it encapsulates how such a simple and brief practice can have a meaningful impact.
Despite often heavy-handed corporate efforts to the contrary, mindfulness is not a bandaid to fix all that is wrong with healthcare. And it’s not a substitute for the meaningful change that is so desperately needed. Instead, it’s a reminder to be present and engage with what is happening right now, without judgement or reactivity.

Through mindfulness, you are can find a way to take a moment in the middle of the daily storm to re-center and reset. And for physicians, that can go a long way towards building stronger relationships with patients and staff based on trust and respect.
My Podcast Interview with Grenville Thynne of Neuroflex
I recently had a fascinating conversation with Grenville Thynne for the Techlink Health Podcast. We discussed his work with the trailblazing Neuroflex company. Neuroflex’s portable technology can quickly detect evidence of concussion on site, which makes it especially valuable to athletes of all types. The technology is also being studied in aging, and has the ability to provide objective measurements of brain function that can be tracked over time.
