Episode 108: Taking Ownership of Your Doctor Identity
In medicine, it’s easy to become who the system expects you to be. You adjust, you accommodate, and before you know it, your identity at work is shaped by everything but your own goals. But you don’t have to accept the role that’s handed to you—you can decide who you want to be.
In this episode, I explore why doctors often undervalue their leadership potential, how the culture of medicine reinforces self-doubt, and why taking ownership (even without an official title) can completely change your experience at work.
We’ll discuss:
How the culture of medicine conditions doctors to feel inadequate—and how to unlearn it.
Why leadership isn’t about a title, it’s about how you show up.
Stories of doctors who changed their work environments by taking ownership.
The power of deciding who you want to be instead of reacting to your surroundings.
Your role at work isn’t something assigned to you—it’s something you define. This episode will help you step into it with confidence.
