As surgeons, we work in a high-stress, high-stakes environment to take care of our patients. In this setting, it is not uncommon for us to experience microaggressions-subtle or indirect actions or statements that communicate a demeaning or exclusionary message, often unintentionally. Microaggressions can bring us down, taking away from the fulfillment that attracted many of us to this profession. In this article, we introduce the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching energy leadership framework as a tool to understand and address microaggressions. We then apply it to real-life scenarios surgeons may encounter, demonstrating how this framework can help us to build resilience and recover our joy for our profession.
作为外科医生,我们在高压力、高风险的环境中工作,以照顾我们的患者。在这种环境下,我们经历微侵犯——传达贬低或排他信息的微妙或间接行为或言论,通常是无意的——并不罕见。微侵犯会让我们情绪低落,剥夺了吸引我们许多人投身这个职业的成就感。在本文中,我们介绍卓越专业教练协会的能量领导力框架,作为理解和应对微侵犯的一种工具。然后,我们将其应用于外科医生可能遇到的现实场景,展示这个框架如何帮助我们建立恢复力,重拾对职业的热爱。
