How to speak the language of leadership to improve doctor wellness

The Podcast by KevinMD

Pediatrician and certified coach Jessie Mahoney discusses her article, "Physician wellness is a strategic imperative—not a moral crusade." The conversation focuses on why physicians must shift their advocacy for well-being from a reactive, moral argument to a strategic one that aligns with institutional priorities. Jessie explains that effective change comes not from complaining, but from understanding two key things: how physicians' own training contributes to the culture of unwellness, and what leadership truly values. She provides a framework for physicians to step out of victimhood and into leadership, learning to "speak the language" of executives by framing wellness as a necessity for retention, financial sustainability, and quality patient care. This episode is a guide for doctors who want to stop just enduring the system and start strategically shaping it from within.
