@DocDifferently So true. I made the decision to leave a job that didn't fit my needs at this time, and I haven't looked back.

[Dr Ruth Surman @Dr_Raffles]

@DGlaucomflecken I was lucky in that one of my mentors suggested this early on in my residency... I now have a folder on my computer for positive emails and a physical folder for cards etc... (pic attached). It sure helps battle the negative thinking!

To delve into whether people are OK, you need to move past the single yes/no question.
You need to have a #conversation and a commitment to #listen.
Asking #RUOK is important, but it is only the first step!
I hope you are OK, but it's OK if you are not.Ppl care. Help exists.

[R U OK? @ruokanyday]

Today is #RUOKDay and a reminder to start a conversation that could change a life.

@LiangRhea @RACSurgeons @PeckyDeSilva Thanks for sharing! :)

Again, it all comes back to connection!

[Helen Bevan @HelenBevan]

How should we approach our role as leaders? By emphasising our competence, strength & experience? Or by establishing trust through warmth and understanding? The authors of this classic article say we need to do both but we should start with building trust. Multiple studies in the ten years since this article have backed up the importance of relationships and connections as the foundations for effective leadership. https://t.co/nVBuLcv2T1 Graphic: @tnvora

The answers may surprise you. They will be age-appropriate, culturally appropriate & completely individualised! #nbpsa23
