In today's episode, we delve into the art of effective communication—something crucial not only in the workplace but also in our personal lives. Oftentimes, the stumbling block is our failure to actively listen. Join us as we explore practical scenarios and learn how to navigate conversations with finesse.

• Many relationship problems stem from not actively listening to one another.
• The key is to genuinely listen to what the other person is saying, without formulating responses while they speak.

1. Requesting an Extension:

   • Instead of a flat "I can't do this," express the need for an extension while highlighting the benefits for both parties.
   • Example: "Understanding the importance of the deadline, a one-week extension could yield a more polished result."

2. Seeking Help:

   • Rather than a straightforward request, offer appreciation and acknowledge their expertise.
   • Example: "I appreciate your skills. Could we schedule time to go over this together?"

3. Managing Workload:

   • Instead of saying, "This is too much," propose a discussion on prioritizing tasks for efficiency.
   • Example: "I appreciate the responsibilities. Can we review and possibly redistribute tasks for optimal outcomes?"

• Instead of a blunt "I don't agree," express appreciation for their time, list concerns, and suggest exploring alternatives.

• Instead of a direct demand, present accomplishments and responsibilities and propose a discussion on a salary review.

• Avoid direct commands; instead, express noticing the behavior and propose finding a solution together.

• Frame feedback positively, focusing on shared goals and proposing a meeting to discuss expectations.

• Emphasize collaboration and value, inviting the person to explore ways to contribute more actively.

• Rather than criticizing, identify inefficiencies and propose adjustments for improved efficiency and effectiveness.

• Instead of accusing, express the impact of late starts on productivity and propose a commitment to punctuality.

• Involve others in decision-making by expressing value for their input and insights.

• Approach communication with empathy to make others feel valued, fostering likability and effective leadership.

Remember, the key to successful communication lies in active listening, inclusivity, and empathy. Join us in mastering these skills to become not just communicators but leaders who inspire and connect.

The Interstate Medical Licensure Compact is an agreement among participating U.S. states and territories to work together to significantly streamline the licensing process for physicians who want to practice in multiple states. It offers a voluntary, expedited pathway to licensure for physicians who qualify.

The mission of the Compact is to increase access to health care – particularly for patients in underserved or rural areas. The Compact makes it possible to extend the reach of physicians, improve access to medical specialists, and leverage the use of new medical technologies, such as telemedicine. While making it easier for physicians to obtain licenses to practice in multiple states, the Compact also strengthens public protection by enhancing the ability of states to share investigative and disciplinary information.

The need to ask.

Dr Rachel Draelos founded Cydoc (www.cydoc.ai), a health tech startup building AI-powered healthcare software.

Cydoc's first product is a smart patient intake form that saves time by enabling faster note-writing and more efficient visits. Our form pre-interviews patients using adaptive medical reasoning, then transforms the Q&A into the text of a medical note, including a detailed HPI focused on that individual's specific visit reasons.

A study with 18 medical students demonstrated 3x faster encounters and note writing with Cydoc, from 17 minutes per patient to 5 minutes per patient. I'm excited to announce that we are now enrolling medical practices in our pilot program!
