Hi ,

Happy Friday!

As a doctor and entrepreneur at the forefront of our mission to connect 1 million doctors with diverse careers - I realised last year (in the haze of my pregnancy fatigue), that I wasn't going to achieve this mission, doing what I've always done and with the knowledge I had.

Therefore, I spent approx £15k combined on #businesscoaching and #therapy in the last year.

Here's what happened as a result:

💰 Our Medic Footprints business revenue near doubled

👶 I was able to navigate the challenges of pregnancy, having a baby &, chronic fatigue and a toddler whilst continuing to drive Medic Footprints forward on our important mission

🤼 Our team tripled in size - including finding the BEST team members I could ever ask for (inc. Dr Ola Abbas, Lean May Toring, Queenie Espino, Tiarnán McKeever, Dr Shivani Sharda, Shirani Rajapaksa, Lauretta Ihonor, Dr Jonathan Andrews)

💩 I started to worry less and less about what others think - enabling me to take BOLDER moves - (JFDI)

🚀 We launched our scalable program - Doctors in Industry Incubator AND our Disrupting Doctors Careers podcast - now at 23k downloads

✊ I was able to continually work through my self belief and confidence knocks to become the unapologetic follow-up queen - that has PAID OFF many times

👁️ I'm able to spot AND leverage many more opportunities than I did previously

🆓 I am able to free up more time in my week

🤝 I'm able to pass on my knowledge and insights to many of the doctors I mentor so they can achieve their ambitious career goals...

and the MOST important point..

I better understand who I really am.

To be clear.. still all VERY much a work in progress...yet this is just scratching the surface.

So....what's the point I'm making?

No - it's not to go and spend £15k on coaching and therapy (I am fortunate to be able to count these as business expenses).

It's to recognise the value of investing in yourself (whatever that means to you) and how this can literally transform your life and the impact you can achieve for those you serve.

I've seen similar outcomes in every doctor we've mentored, especially our Fellows on the Doctors in Industry Incubator.

As doctors, we are used to spending on so many tick box qualifications and courses that don't always translate to a meaningful outcomes.

Most have not even experienced coaching because it's not in our medical culture to do so as an essential personal and professional development resource.

Don't forget the REAL cost of NOT investing in yourself. If you can't do it for yourself, who is going to do it for you?

What can an even better version of you look like and achieve?

If you're curious about what you could achieve in your career moves, I'd love to hear from you!
