The first seminar in the latest GCPH seminar series - one which will seek to reflect deeply on the awful trends in health and health inequalities over the past decade, and on what we need to do to address them in the current, and projected, context.
Please circulate. Thanks.
A really important and tremendously welcome contribution from @ProfKevinFenton to the @theGCPH seminar series - with some frank exchanges and sincere undertakings from other contributors.
Workplace cynicism is one of the major but least-understood aspects of burnout. Cynicism isn’t due to some character flaw or being a “glass-half-empty” person. It originates from the workplace, not the individual. 8 ways to build a positive, rather than cynical, culture:
1) Attend to yourself first
2) Stop the cycle of negative emotional contagion
3) Encourage/practice empathy
4) Cultivate trust
5) Practice transparency
6) Give people more control
7) Remove uncertainty & ambiguity
8) Inject micro-doses of positivity

"One of the criticisms I've faced over the years is that I'm not aggressive enough or assertive enough, or maybe somehow, because I'm empathetic, it means I'm weak. I totally rebel against that. I refuse to believe that you cannot be both compassionate & strong." Jacinda Ardern
