Joy Glasser - The Art of Self-Awareness
Joy Glasser, a certified leadership coach with over two decades of experience, shares insights on how coaching differs from therapy and addresses the unique challenges physicians face in their professional lives. She illuminates pathways to self-awareness, better leadership, and finding balance in a demanding healthcare system.
• Coaching fundamentally differs from therapy—coaches believe clients aren't broken and need no fixing
• Physicians typically struggle with being "fixers" while lacking self-awareness about their own needs
• System pressures create burnout with physicians feeling pushed to perform without adequate support
• Self-leadership starts with being present and making intentional choices rather than reactive decisions
• Building trust requires vulnerability and honesty, both with oneself and with colleagues
• Finding time for self-reflection isn't about having more hours but prioritizing meaningful presence
• Dealing with uncertainty means shifting from hope (expectations) to wonder (curiosity)
• Putting your phone in airplane mode creates space for genuine connection and self-awareness
