As a medical practitioner or healthcare professional, patient safety is probably at the top of your priorities. In fact, it’s something that underpins your job. With that in mind, if you’re failing to take care of yourself or neglecting to work on your personal development, you may be placing your patients at risk. At Curis Coaching LLC, I’ve transitioned from being a healthcare professional to an executive coach. I’ve faced my own challenges with burnout, which is why I’m dedicating my career to helping others avoid it. If you want to improve patient safety at your practice or hospital, I’m here to show you why self-care and personal development are essential for doing so.
You’ll reduce burnout
There’s no denying that burnout is an awful experience that nobody deserves to encounter. When I had my brush with burnout, I found that I wasn’t able to function at optimal levels. After I stepped back and did something to address my workload, I became a better practitioner.
If you’re starting to experience the signs of burnout, you may not be able to prioritize patient safety. Common signs include:
- Feeling overwhelmed by your workload
- Experiencing fatigue
- Dreading facing work
- Feeling as though you’re letting others down at work
- Experiencing sudden changes in mood
When you’re stuck in the middle of burnout, it’s difficult to see a way out. And when you reach that stage, the problem will only get worse.
As an accomplished executive coach, I can help you identify ways to reduce your workload without harming your career. When you feel less burned out, you’ll deliver better patient care. This then translates to improved patient safety overall.
You’ll learn to prioritize and delegate
It’s possible to make excellent progress with our careers without learning how to prioritize and delegate effectively. Although you probably prioritize well to an extent, you may not be making the most of this skill.
Poor prioritization and delegation skills result in you wasting time. The time you waste could go toward self-care, which then reduces burnout and enhances patient safety by-proxy. Or, you could dedicate the time you save to further personal development.
As your executive coach, I can assess whether you’re prioritizing effectively and hold you accountable when you don’t do so. Additionally, I’ll help you find ways to delegate your work so that you become a better practitioner. With my approach, you’ll have more time for your patients, which then keeps them safer while you’re caring for them.
Reaching new levels in your career enhances patient safety
When you achieve your career goals it’s normal to feel as though you want more. If you’ve reached your ultimate goals, identifying whatever else it is that you want to do isn’t always simple. As a result, you may feel stuck, but frustrated.
As an executive coach, I help medical and healthcare professionals find ways to enhance their careers. This sometimes means assisting them in leadership roles or helping them find ways to become a better leader. In many cases, I help people transition while minimizing frustrations as they move away from their comfort zones.
When you aspire to new challenges, you have the chance to change other people’s lives on a larger scale. If you’re the type of professional who wants to change as many lives as possible, this means you could have a significant impact on patient safety. My aim is to use personal development coaching to help you navigate this period of your life and emerge as a professional who can help others.
If you’re ready to improve patient safety as a part of your career, call 516 712 6880. I offer executive coaching to healthcare and medical professionals throughout South Orange, NJ and the surrounding areas.
