According to Coachfoundation.com, passion is one of the most important qualities of a good coach. Enter Dr. Ricky Fernandez, a doctor of physical therapy and a burnout coach and I was eager to talk with him for those reasons.
We talked about all the things he does as a physical therapist: his schedule (which is kind of sweet), what his patients need, and the importance of collaboration with allied health professionals.
As we delved into the topic of burnout, his passion became evident. Having experienced burnout himself, Ricky recognizes the significance of establishing boundaries and prioritizing the mental health of healthcare professionals. He pointed out that certain personality traits such as perfectionism (me) people-pleasing (me as well) and martyrdom (again, me) can make individuals susceptible to burnout. Ricky, where were you a few years ago?
While it's too late for me, I found Ricky's insights valuable. If you're experiencing burnout, or better yet, if you'd like to prevent it, Ricky genuinely wants you to practice healthcare in a way that works for you, not against you.
In the five-minute snippet: goodnight. For Ricky's bio, visit my website (link below).
