Kindness, Curiosity and Comfortable Shoes

A toolkit for healthcare workers.

Working in healthcare is hardwork; on top of that the media, especially social media, will only spread negative thoughts about the state of healthcare.

This podcast aims to help with both of those: a bit of positivity, a few helpful thoughts to improve your work, all starting with kindness, curiosity and comfortable shoes.

Resolution

Definition - A firm decision to do or to not do something

In early January, how many people have made a resolution, and how many people have not kept it a week later??

This episode covers resolutions or work objectives and how to use SMART to help clarify your thoughts about them and increase the chance of you sticking to your resolutions.

SMART - Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound

First described in 1981:
Doran, G.T. (1981) There's a SMART Way to Write Management's Goals and Objectives. Journal of Management Review, 70, 35-36.
