Are you an introvert or an extrovert? In this episode, Charity Hix tells me that introverts tend to like time to think and reflect, and dislike constant disturbance. But being an introvert isn't about liking or disliking people, it's about where your energy comes from. We are all of course individuals and no two people are alike! If you are an early career doctor making career decisions, then knowing that you lean towards being an introvert can be useful when choosing your specialty and the workplace context. And for introverts in senior doctor roles, having some quiet time and boundaries can replenish energy in busy clinical settings.
Charity is a physician coach helping ambitious introverts in healthcare escape feelings of apathy, irritability, and resentment brought on by the increasing demands, and decreasing rewards, of their career. After 20 years in clinical medicine, she’s helping introverts continue to show up as the diligent, thoughtful clinicians they want to be while prioritizing their needs and protecting their energy. She firmly believes you don’t have to feel guilty for wanting a thriving life in AND outside of medicine.
