When you have an open mind, a challenge to your ideas isn’t an attack on you. It’s an opportunity to learn something new.

You don’t have to agree with someone's points to benefit from understanding their perspective.

Spirited debate clarifies assumptions and sharpens reasoning.

@mymomthesurgeon Yes this…

Thank you @ERDocBrown for highlighting three important steps Congress must take to protect our healthcare workers.

Emotions alone don't determine our well-being. How we view them matters.

Evidence: people who judge unpleasant emotions negatively have poorer well-being than those who accept them as part of life.

A key to resilience is recognizing that what feels bad isn’t always bad for us.

@AshleyGWinter We also need more than 15minutes to talk to patients about breastfeeding, traumatized pelvis floor, coping with sleep deprivation, PP mood disorders and why their baby is the cutest little nugget I’ve ever seen.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

When people are hurting, our first instinct is to change their feelings. What often helps them more is validating their feelings.

Sharing your perspective is less comforting than showing you understand their perspective.

Emotions need to be recognized before they're regulated.

[Jennifer Weiss @mymomthesurgeon]

I’m so sorry this happened. I’m glad you chose to keep yourself emotionally and physically safe.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

"This is not my expertise" is not an admission of incompetence. It's an expression of self-awareness.

The antidote to arrogance is not lowering your confidence. It's raising your humility.

You don't have to deny your strengths. You just have to recognize your weaknesses.

Guess what I just got done? Mammogram ✅ For my health and in honor of my patients, friends, and family who have faced breast cancer. Don’t forget to take care of you. Besides pink is my favorite color.💕

The new @ahahospitals guide identifies three drivers of suicide: stigma, limited access to behavioral health resources and treatment, and job-related stressors. #StopTheStigma

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

The people who are nice to you aren’t always being kind to you.

Saying what you want to hear is nice. People sugarcoat feedback to make you feel good today.

Sharing what you need to hear is kind. People speak honestly to help you do better tomorrow.

Candor is an act of care.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

One of our greatest mistakes is imposing our suffering on the next generation.

The fact that you endured unreasonable demands and unclear expectations doesn't mean others should.

The responsibility of leaders is not to repeat the errors of the past. It's to improve the future.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Many arguments get heated not because our opinions clash, but because we fail to show that we care.

In conflict, the most important step isn't to defend your position. It's to reinforce your relationship.

It's easier to accept that you're not like-minded if you're like-hearted.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Worrying doesn’t mean you’re neurotic. It’s a sign that you care—and a strategy to prepare.

If you don’t anticipate problems, you can’t prevent them. If you never sweat the small stuff, you don’t practice for the big stuff.

In uncertain times, concern can build resilience.

[Phons @PHonsberger]

@NancyGinMD Congratulations!

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

It shouldn't take a pandemic to convince people to put their mental health above their careers.

In the long run, the choice between success and well-being is a false dichotomy.

The best way to achieve your goals is to lead a life that invigorates you—not one that drains you.

Who’s gonna be there at #KPWIM22 this week at Monarch Beach? 🖐🏻 🙋🏻‍♀️ Here’s the link to our agenda! https://t.co/MtgUUZ3clc

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

There isn’t a prescribed timeline for resilience. No two experiences of adversity are identical.

Some people bounce back rapidly. Others need more time to sit with their emotions and process pain.

Strength is not the speed of your recovery. It’s the intensity of your resolve.

This submission resonates with many of us. SUO hears you & we encourage you to speak up with us. You are not insubordinate if you are standing up for yourself. We need a culture where individuals can report without fear of being called 'insubordinate.'
