"Unspoken Struggles of Burnout" - cATalyzing Short

"Unspoken Struggles of Burnout" - cATalyzing Short

"Unspoken Struggles of Burnout in Healthcare"

cATalyzing Short -w/ Ryan Stevens In episode 62, we dive into burnout in healthcare (also applicable across many other fast-paced high-demand professions).

Imagine working super hard to help people, yet feeling super stressed and tired all the time. That's what happens to many healthcare professionals who suffer from burnout.

At times it feels like a heavy backpack full of sadness and exhaustion, making it hard to smile and keep going. We juggle caring for patients, mountains of paperwork or e-notes, and sometimes even an angry patient or family of the patient!

Here's the cool part: even though we're tired, we still see that kid's happy face after surgery or hear a "thank you" from a grateful family, and that reminds us why we chose this tough job - to make people feel better!

So, what can we do? We need to help our healthcare heroes! Imagine a healthcare system which supports the healers and team members, enabling compassionate fulfilled providers to deliver the best care to those in need.

Take a listen and share your thoughts, challenges, and strategies to minimize the unspoken struggles of burnout in the workplace.

"The Power of Heightened Self-Awareness: Unlocking Influence" cATalyzing Short -w/ Ryan Stevens In episode 60, I'm sharing some thoughts on the incredible impact that heightened self-awareness can have on our ability to gain influence with others, further developing the workplace teams we are a part of. In a world where effective leadership in collaboration are paramount, self-awareness serves as the key that unlocks our true potential. responsible independence is key to effective interdependence!

  • Heightened self-awareness unlocks the true potential for responsible independence and effective interdependence in leadership and collaboration
  • Heightened self-awareness unlocks influence by allowing us to embrace our authenticity and unique qualities
  • Genuine connection with others is built through comfort in one's own skin and emotional vulnerability, not just through traditional leadership traits
  • Honing our emotional intelligence enables us to connect on a deeper level, demonstrating empathy and understanding in challenging situations
  • Heightened self-awareness cultivates a growth mindset, inspiring personal and professional growth as well as influencing others to embark on their own journeys of self-improvement.

"The Cost of Inaction: Unraveling Team Dynamics" (cATalyzing Short)

"The Cost of Inaction: Unraveling Team Dynamics" (cATalyzing Short)

cATalyzing Short feat Ryan Stevens (episode 58): 🚩 The Cost of Inaction: Unraveling Team Dynamics 🚩 💔 Poor team dynamics can silently erode workplace morale, pushing individuals towards resignation, quiet quitting, and complacency. The consequences are real, and it's time to address them. 💔 ✋ Resignation: When team dynamics turn toxic, talented individuals feel suffocated. In the absence of a supportive environment, their skills wither, and their dreams fade. We must nurture collaboration, trust, and respect to prevent valuable members from walking away. 🚶‍♀️🚶‍♂️ 🔇 Quiet Quitting: Not all departures are loud and dramatic. Sometimes, talented employees stay physically but emotionally check out. Disengaged and disheartened, they become shadows of their former selves. Let's build a culture that encourages open dialogue, values diverse perspectives, and ignites passion. 🔥 🛋️ Complacency: Inaction can breed complacency, the silent killer of innovation. When team dynamics discourage risk-taking and growth, creativity suffers, and progress stalls. We must foster an environment that empowers individuals to challenge the status quo, embrace change, and continuously improve. 🌟 💡 It's time to count the cost of inaction. Let's invest in strong team dynamics that celebrate collaboration, empower individuals, and drive success. Together, we can create a healthcare team environment where everyone thrives, fueling a brighter future for all.

Lifting yourself up - Self care for healthcare professionals

Lifting yourself up - Self care for healthcare professionals

At times, life can be tough for people who work in the healthcare industry. Burnout. Compassion fatigue. Depression. Difficulty with balancing work and personal life. As healthcare and human service professionals, we are constantly lifting others up, and that can be draining. Are we remaining self-aware, and taking care of ourself? Sometimes when you feel stuck, it's tough taking that first step. What strategies do you choose when you need lifted up? Who are and what are your catalysts to help you break out? As we near the end of #MentalHealthAwarenessMonth (May), Ryan Stevens, MPS, ATC, CSCS discusses the importance of lifting ourselves up.

Own your feelings. Own your space. You got this.

Overhead Athlete Dynamic Warm Up - A Coaching Example

Overhead Athlete Dynamic Warm Up - A Coaching Example

"Overhead Athlete Dynamic Warm Up - A Coaching Example" In this episode, experience an example of a dynamic warm up program geared towards overhead athletes (tennis, track & field throwers, baseball, softball, volleyball). This audio comes from a 2013 collaboration project between Ryan Stevens, MPS, ATC, CSCS and Ian Westermann of Essential Tennis. To compliment the podcast, check out the video segments below for a video of the movements and exercises Ryan is coaching.  While Ryan's approach to teaching dynamic warm up has been updated and adapted over the last decade, this particular system/progression in this episode is absolutely effective and will produce great results with your athletes. Shout out to Ian Westerman of www.essentialtennis.com for the original videos and the collaboration, as well as shout out to the mentors Ryan mentions in this episode who first influenced his implementation of this sort of warm up system: Paul Kolody (AT & Strength Coach in NJ), Robb Rogers (strength coach), Lee Taft (Speed & agility guru), Exos (previously Athlete's Performance - Mark Verstagen) Overhead Athlete Dynamic Warm Up pt 1 – Activation and Mobilization https://youtu.be/fNmFyPlOPeg Overhead Athlete Dynamic Warm Up part 2 – Dynamic Movement Prep https://youtu.be/FgcjRVxWBco Overhead Athlete Dynamic Warm Up part 3 – Power Prep https://youtu.be/7jNvq_BZ32Y

An AT's Guide to Understanding Chiropractors: Kevin Vieser, DC, ATC

An AT's Guide to Understanding Chiropractors: Kevin Vieser, DC, ATC

"An Athletic Trainer's Guide to Understanding Chiropractors - a conversATion with Kevin Vieser, DC, ATC" There is no doubting the value that exists in intraprofessional collaboration. It is unfortunate that often there is "headbutting" which occurs between athletic trainers and chiropractors, and the most likely reason is a lack of understanding of what each side brings to the table. What better way to dive deep into understanding the world of chiropractic care than to speak with a dual-credentialed athletic trainer and chiropractor Kevin Vieser, DC, ATC. Dr. Kevin combines his life-long love for athletics and his passion for helping others into his profession as a Chiropractor and Certified Athletic Trainer. It was during his undergraduate years as an Athletic Training student at Springfield College where he witnessed the impact chiropractic care made on the recovery process of any injury that inspired him to want to do the same for the people he treated. Upon graduation from Springfield College, Dr. Kevin moved to the west coast to begin his studies at Palmer College of Chiropractic - West Campus in San Jose, CA. Not only did he succeed academically, he augmented his education with a wide range of professional experiences as a Certified Athletic Trainer, from youth athletes to Olympians while attending advanced extremity manipulation seminars nationwide. Currently Dr. Kev has his own practice in New Jersey, where his mission is simple: to provide the best care possible, to make it accessible, and to give patients the confidence in their ability to heal. Want to contact Dr. Kev?  More info can be found at www.drkevinvieser.com, and find him on instagram @_DrKev_

Quadrupedal Movement Training - Jeff Buxton, PhD

Quadrupedal Movement Training - Jeff Buxton, PhD

Incorporating Quadrupedal Movement Training into your Rehabs and Injury Reduction Programs with Jeff Buxton, PhD, Assistant Professor - Grove City College. In this episode we will discuss Jeff’s journey from coach to professor, hear about what got him interested in Quadrupedal Movement Training (QMT), and for what reasons he choose to do his PhD dissertation specifically on the effects of a novel ground-based movement training program on Functional Movement, Flexibility, Strength, and Endurance. We will learn about the main findings of his study, and discuss what ATs need to know when incorporating ground-based movements such as animal flow or any other body weight movement system, such as guidelines to determine a starting point, progressions, regressions, or lateralizations. How do we get the benefit of QMT for someone who isn’t comfortable getting on the ground, who has post-surgical CKC restrictions, post-injury tissue integrity limiting the amount of BW through the UE? How do you determine load and repetition volume when it comes to QMT?  Jeff shares his tips for ATs who wish to incorporate QMT into their rehab or injury prevention programs! Check out Dr Buxton's published research here -->  https://journals.lww.com/nsca-jscr/Abstract/9000/The_Effects_of_a_Novel_Quadrupedal_Movement.94204.aspx  Dr Jeff Buxton can be reached at buxtonjd@gcc.edu

COVID-19 Check in - Return to Athletics - Ryan Stevens, MPS, ATC, CSCS

COVID-19 Check in - Return to Athletics - Ryan Stevens, MPS, ATC, CSCS

Fall Sports - are you ready to go? This audio comes from an interview Ryan Stevens, MPS, ATC, CSCS did for the 2020 Somerset County School Nurses Association in August, organized by RWJ Somerset Hospital. The audience of this interview was school nurses, however this should serve as a "check in" for athletic trainers to perform a self-audit where you are currently.  Much has changed since Athletic Trainers and School Nurses were last in school back in March, especially pertaining to sports participation. Ryan shares his experience in a hospital leadership and operations role over the last five months to serve as a reflection point for all who are in the midst of returning to fall sports or organizational activities now.  Ryan discusses the importance of establishing a COVID-19 Response team, who should be on it, and some goals to consider for this team. Additionally, Ryan answers the following questions.  What has changed with athletics pre-participation physicals in New Jersey?  What are the criteria for student returning to sports after recovering from COVID? What are some environmental, safety, facility, and logistical precautions which should be taken in preparation before the sports season for after school middle school and high school sports, as well as any in-person physical education classes which resume? What is the role that telehealth and telemedicine in the delivery of health care will play moving forward, and how should healthcare professionals be preparing for this? It is likely that student athletes are more at risk for injury now returning to sports vs previous fall seasons. Why is that, and what are some strategies that can reduce the risk of injury and overtraining upon return?

The Value of Self Advocacy for Athletic Trainers: Alisha M. Pennington, MS, ATC

The Value of Self Advocacy for Athletic Trainers: Alisha M. Pennington, MS, ATC

Know your worth, show your worth, own your worth. Advocacy is a domino effect which starts with you as an individual, which spreads to impact our entire profession. In this episode, Ryan is joined by Alisha M. Pennington, MS, ATC, and they discuss the importance of self-advocacy for ATs and why we must master this concept. What are the potential outcomes of positive self advocacy? What happens if you go about it leading with your "ego"?  In what ways can positive self-advocacy enhance your compensation and your overall outcomes with your job duties? What are some specific strategies to self-advocate, and why must an AT be self-aware of their advocacy to avoid potential pitfalls which build walls instead of bridges.   Alisha is the founder and owner of ATvantage, an athletic training service company, which she started in 2012 after she completed her undergraduate education in athletic training at Florida State University and her masters in Kinesiology at California State University - Fullerton.  She recognized a need for advocacy and education of athletic trainers to potential clients, especially in California where the profession lacks licensure. While growing the company, Alisha has worked with USA Beach Volleyball & USA Water Polo, traveling domestically and internationally, and is an athletic trainer on the television show Biggest Loser. In her education and advocacy efforts, Alisha saw the need to share information in a public capacity, so she started a podcast in 2015 aimed at educating athletic trainers about the intersection of business and athletic training, and now her podcast is a BOC approved provider for CEs, which she gives away for free.  Alisha speaks across the country to students, athletic trainers, and educators about the business aspects of athletic training, including a feature presentation at NATA in 2018 titled “Principles of Per Diem Work: Liabilities & Legalities” which was later published by the NATA as a Best Practices document, with Alisha as a primary author.  An active volunteer in the profession since 2013, she serves in various capacities across several committees and is currently the District 7 Chair on the Public Relations Committee and a member of the Private Practice/ Emerging Settings committee within the Council on Practice Advancement. You can contact Alisha at Alisha@theATvantage.com and can find more information about her at www.theATvantage.com

cATalyzing Change - Empower through Personal Power (Special Message)

cATalyzing Change - Empower through Personal Power (Special Message)

The mistreatment of our black & brown brothers & sisters, both intentionally & untintentionally, is unacceptable. #BlackLivesMatter There is no "inferior" race, nor is there an inferior ethnicity/religion/sexual orientation/gender identity. While many say "all lives do matter", right now our priority as a world is taking care of those who feel/are treated as though theirs do not. The road to unity & elevATion of those who have been held down starts w/ personal reflection & personal choice. We must make a choice to admit there is injustice, acknowledge the pain, empathetically listen, & compassionately care better. We are ONE team as a human race. The problem is while many people SAY that, too many people do not LIVE that. People struggle w/ unintentional bias that has been cultivated throughout our lifetime because of our upbringing/surroundings/experiences. Because of our emotions, we "react" instead of "respond". We need to realize that sometime we have to take a breath before we speak. Sadly, our black & brown sisters & brothers in this world "cannot breathe." We can be something more, something greATer. Change will come through ownership of personal power, utilized in a productive way, NOT a destructive way. We are all capable of building our personal power, and more importantly we are all capable of SUPPORTING/EMPOWERING personal power in our black & brown sisters & brothers. Own your space. Be growth-minded. See yourself from the balcony. Reach out to those who feel they don't matter. AcT with empathetic purpose. Together we will make an impAcT towards finally changing the world. #BlackLivesMatter #WeAreOneTeam #SpreadLove

Treat Yourself As If You Were Your Athlete: How ATs Must Develop Self-care - Pete Economou, PhD, ABPP-CBT

Treat Yourself As If You Were Your Athlete: How ATs Must Develop Self-care - Pete Economou, PhD, ABPP-CBT

Working in "helping fields" can have significant stress and emotional effects on the providers themselves, inherently interfering with the efficiency, health and well-being, and overall functioning of these providers. It is incumbent upon providers to be selfish, putting themselves first, to sustain a fulfilling and rewarding life while remaining passionate about their work. It is important for athletic trainers to understand the benefits of practicing mindfulness. This talk will address issues related to the practice of athletic training and include the introduction of compassion fatigue, the negative effects of burnout, provide tools for healthy coping, and includes practical examples and practices that athletic trainers can integrate into their busy schedules. In this episode, Dr Pete Economou sheds some light on this topic with audio from a symposium presentation he delivered at the 2019 RWJBarnabas Health Summer Athletic Training Personal Development Symposium. Pete J. Economou Ph.D., ABPP was trained in counseling psychology and is an Associate Professor at Rutgers University in the graduate school of applied and professional psychology (GSAPP), also serving as the associate chair for the Applied Department. Dr. Pete is the founder of a clinical practice specializing in Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy (CBT), he is licensed by NJ and NY to practice psychology, and he is board certified in CBT. Dr. Pete has conducted research in several areas including: multicultural psychology, evidence-based treatments (mainly third wave CBT), Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) issues, and learning challenges related to executive functioning. He is an active member of state and national psychology associations, has been on the editorial board of the Journal of Clinical Sports Psychology since 2014, and is a contributor to media outlets and social media. Lastly, as a student of Zen Buddhism, Dr. Pete has been studying at the Morning Star Zendo with Robert Kennedy, Roshi for several years, which has translated into his mindfulness practices offered through the third wave CBT theories.

Remaining Calm: ATs as the Eye of the Storm - Chris Flores, ATC

Remaining Calm: ATs as the Eye of the Storm - Chris Flores, ATC

An Athletic Trainer's chosen mindset is crucial during these different and, in many ways, difficult times. Athletic Trainers have always had to demonstrate calmness and composure during the emergency situations we deal with in our professional settings. Are we still demonstrating that calmness and composure during these times? In this cATalyzing Podcast for ATs episode, Chris Flores, ATC joins Ryan Stevens to discuss how athletic trainers are "built for this".  Also discussed are some coping strategies to keep calm during difficult times and effective daily planning and productivity strategies.  In having to be adaptable, what are some other ways athletic trainers can use the skill sets we already possess in a different way to be productive and showcase value in the ever-changing work post-COVID? Chris and Ryan get into this. Chris Flores, ATC is the owner of FLO Fitness, Co-creator of the Rooted Rehab Certification, Adjunct Professor at Kean University and the former Head Athletic Trainer for Westfield High School. During his 8 years there he discovered many of the same issue that most athletic trainers face trying to manage long hours, family life and personal success. This lead him to creating the FLO-OSOPHY Mindset Program. Chris believes you can have it all in life as long as you define what that means to you. If you want to reach out to Chris for more information, he can be reached out at FloFitness@gmail.com and online at www.flofitnessbh.com.

Financial Planning for Athletic Trainers in Difficult times - Matthew Shade, M.Ed., LAT, ATC

During these difficult times, many athletic trainers are finding themselves struggling financially or in situation where their financial situation may change quickly in the next few months.  Maybe you've lost your job. Maybe your hours have been cut. Maybe you are concerned about your own health or your family member's health.  We need to make some difficult yet purposeful decisions centered around money management and planning.  The cATalyzing Podcat is bringing you audio in this episode from a talk that Matthew Shade, M.Ed, LAT, ATC gave last summer centered around identifying your financial planning personality and behaviors, how to build a budget, and how to plan for short-, mid-, and long-term goals to avoid pitfalls. Matt showcases his emotions during this talk, as he hopes that his story inspires you to have hope for your future in the event that things are unexpectedly tough for you right now.  Matt Shade, M.Ed, LAT, ATC graduated from West Chester University in 2005 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Athletic Training, then served as a graduate assistant athletic trainer while completing his Master Degree of Education at The College of New Jersey in 2006.

He also worked in the office setting as a physician extender before advancing into administrative roles as a sports medicine supervisor with ATI Physical Therapy and athletic director at Girard College and William Tennent High School. Throughout his career path, Matt developed a passion for educating and mentoring athletic trainers.

Developing Your Own Mental Health Emergency Action Plan, with Sandy Lynch Massi, MA, LAT, CCISM

Developing Your Own Mental Health Emergency Action Plan, with Sandy Lynch Massi, MA, LAT, CCISM

As Certified Athletic trainers, we are often the “go to”, the “handle everything” and the “be everywhere” person. We typically put everyone else first. During a time of crisis, this is likely even more the case.  As we find ways to navigate this COVID-19 pandemic, we also have to remember to take care of ourselves. In this episode I am sharing the audio from a presentation that Sandy Lynch Massi, MA, LAT, CCISM gave last summer at the annual RWJBarnabas Health "We Matter Too" Athletic Trainer Summit.  Sandy is the NATA "ATs Care" District 2 Representative. In this talk she presented ways to help Athletic Trainers recognize when you may have neglected yourself for too long and how to create a plan to get you back to your best. She discusses mental health self-assessment, recognizing when you need to make your mental health a priority, strategies for creating your own mental health Emergency Action Plan, and ways to advocate for yourself as part of the plan.

Sandy has been a certified athletic trainer and career firefighter/EMT for over 18 years and is an instructor with the International Critical Incident Stress Foundation. She is certified in Critical Incident Stress Management and has participated on the Mercury Critical Incident Response Team, a peer support team for first responders since 2002, currently serving as director. Sandy, along with another peer from NJ, helped organize one of the first peer support teams for athletic trainers in America. Serving as the District 2 representative to the NATA ATs Care Committee,  this position tasks her with coordinating team development, training and requests for service in NJ, PA, DE and NY. Additionally, Sandy is an instructor at the Emergency Services Training Center in Westhampton, NJ. where she teaches EMT and Firefighter courses. Sandy is a Mom to 9 year old Jackson, two pit bulls and a cat. She is married and lives in Delran. While currently sidelined after ACL reconstruction, she enjoys half ironman triathlons and running marathons. Connect with Sandy at lynchATC@yahoo.com

About ATs Care: The ATs Care program is designed to offer crisis management training opportunities for athletic trainers dealing with the aftermath of a critical incident or who is having difficult dealing with challenging times personally. The mission of the ATs Care Committee is to aid ATs and AT students who have been through a critical incident by utilizing a peer-to peer-system to assist, monitor and encourage these individuals to seek initial support through state or regional ATs Care teams. https://www.nata.org/membership/about-membership/member-resources/ats-care
