“You know, I try to figure out:  What is not right here? And some things can’t be fixed. And then, if it can’t be fixed, I have to decide, do I want to stay here and be a part of this or is there a way that I can use my energies in a more positive way?” -Dr. Ysaye Barnwell, Retired Professor at Howard University College of Dentistry, musician, composer, actress, author.   Get One-on-One Coaching with Coach Gabriella Dennery MD Get One-on-One Coaching with Master Certified Coach Jill Farmer    In this episode, Coach Gabriella Dennery MD sits down with renowned artist and professor Dr. Ysaye Barnwell. Dr. Barnwell has enjoyed a successful career as a professor of speech pathology at Howard University College of Dentistry, and simultaneously traveled extensively worldwide as a member of the African American a cappella band, Sweet Honey In the Rock (1979-2013). In addition to composing many of Sweet Honey In the Rock’s songs, Dr. Barnwell has been commissioned to create music for dance, choral, film, and stage productions.  Dr. Barnwell's acting credits include a principal role on a television series called A Man Called Hawk and a role in the 1998 film Beloved. Barnwell released a solo recording of stories and song, Um Humm, in 2000. She has also written a children's book with CD, No Mirrors in My Nana's House.  A second children's book and CD set was released in March 2008: We Are One.    Dr. Barnwell earned her bachelor's and master's degrees in speech pathology from State University of New York at Geneseo, and a PhD in speech pathology from the University of Pittsburgh. She earned a Master of Science in Public Health from Howard University. Wikipedia She is an incredible woman with a wealth of knowledge to share. Excerpts from the show (in no specific order): Coach Dr. Gabriella: “What led you to a doctorate in speech pathology and a professorship at Howard University?” Dr. Ysaye: “When I was about twelve years old, I went to my first play on Broadway and it was about Helen Keller. I never forgot how I was consumed by that. The things that drive me now and have driven me all my life were:  How do you work with people who have differences where society would demand that they somehow or other deal with it? Or, my own sadness of being enveloped in music all the time, and knowing that there are people who will never hear it. Is there a way to compensate for that? Is there a way to compensate for the skills that they don't develop the way in which (so-called) “normal” people would develop them? So sign language was so fascinating to me, and lip reading was so fascinating to me. I wanted to share all of the auditory things that I had grown up with all my life with people who somehow don't have access to that. When I chose my major in college, I thought I wanted to go into deaf education, but then I realized that there were all of these other communicative problems that people have. I don't like doing one thing, (because) it's just going to help one person. It could help everybody, so I went into speech path and I learned about all kinds of facial abnormalities. It's just been my life. I've had this kind of span of things that I've been interested in, and I've kind of poked my head in every now and then to see what I can learn, what I could offer,  etc. So I've had a really enjoyable life.”    “Then on top of all that to be in Sweet Honey in the Rock and then, you know, say to myself, ‘Okay so what else can I bring to this group? Excuse me, there are people who can't hear you. Can we add an interpreter here? Sure.’ So I became the interpreter and a singer. Then I realized, wait a minute, this is not working for me because there are five voices in this ensemble and we are adding a sixth (the interpreter). I cannot do two voices at the same time. If I was the lead on every song that would be different, but I'm not, and that's cool and I like what I do in the background. But I can't sign what the lead is singing when I'm doing a background thing. So that was the beginning of Sweet Honey in the Rock using a sign language interpreter as an integral part of the group.”    Coach Dr. Gabriella: “Was there any point where you thought maybe you shouldn’t do that (be a professor while a singer, composer and traveling with a band), but you should just settle down and do what everybody else does? Was that ever a question for you?”    Dr. Ysaye: “No, that was never a question. Everything seemed to fit together for me, which is really weird but true. Even in terms of being a songwriter, because you know I did a post-doc in public health and I was in Sweet Honey in the Rock at the time and that's when I wrote “More Than a Paycheck” because we had been invited to sing with steel workers and different conventions and things like that and for me all of that began to come together. Well, so how can I sing to this group and not share what I've just learned with other folks who don't realize what the commonalities are? But if you write a song like “More Than a Paycheck”, you know, where everything I'm doing is more than the paycheck I'm getting and I am collecting things that are hazardous to myself or dangerous to myself and others or things that kind of make relationships a little bit difficult. I mean we all do that and so “More Than a Paycheck” for me is about exploring and discovering what's positive and negative about what I'm exploring. Can I make a change in it or should I just leave it alone? And those are really my questions. You know, I get involved in things and I see what it is. If I'm going to leave, I want to leave positively or else I have to figure out ways to make it work not only for me personally but for the whole community that it's part of.”    Correction: During the recording, it was mentioned that Dr. Barnwell holds a PhD in Speech Therapy. She holds a PhD in Speech Pathology.    To claim the DocWorking discount and learn more about how EmpathIQ can help you build more positive reviews online, click here Find full transcripts of episodes on the DocWorking Blog  Our New DocWorking THRIVE  Membership is here!!

“You really do make a judgment on a person, on their practice based on their online reviews. Whether that’s right or wrong, it is how the world is working these days.” -Avalon Hartman In this episode, we hear from Avalon Hartman of EmpathIQ about reputation management. In this case, by reputation management, we mean online reviews. I think we all know how big of an impact reviews play in our lives. How many times have you not gone to a restaurant because of poor reviews? Or not bought a product you were interested in due to it’s reviews? Or, more relevant to us, how many times have you chosen or not chosen a doctor based upon reviews or lack thereof? Well in this episode, Jen talks to Avalon to find out how physicians can get out in front of the review game to make sure they are accurately represented online and Avalon shines a light on the tools available to make reviews work for you instead of against you.    Avalon Hartman has a degree in Business Administration from the University of San Diego.  She's helped clients with their branding and marketing programs in the publishing industry and also in the Trade Show arena. March of 2020 saw an unexpected worldwide shutdown of the tradeshow industry so she began working at EmpathIQ in the somewhat newer field of Reputation Management.  While not at work you can find her hiking some of San Diego's beautiful trails and also enjoying sunset yoga on the beach.    To claim the DocWorking discount and learn more about how EmpathIQ can help you build more positive reviews online, click here Find full transcripts of episodes on the DocWorking Blog  Our New DocWorking THRIVE  Membership is here!!

“It now feels more human, more relaxing and more fun to approach it this way than to try to say, ‘What’s your thirty second elevator pitch?’ ‘And go!’" In this episode, Coaches Gabriella and Jill give us some wonderfully useful tips on how to do a better job of networking. Jill and Gabriella tell us how to take the pressure out of networking and explain that none of us were born with a networking manual. It’s a muscle that we have to build. Knowing that makes it feel a lot less daunting and a lot more doable. Actually, instead of networking, Jill suggests we think of it as relationship building and connecting.

“Actually, a key part of my mission with DocWorking is (for) physicians to get themselves into a safe space where they feel that they have an amount that will cover their bases if they need to leave for some reason or if they choose to leave. That would give them a sense of security so that when they choose to work, at that point, it’s a choice.” -Jen Barna MD  In this episode, Jen talks with Tim and Amy Rutherford of GoWithLess about FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early), or as Jen calls it, FIORE ( Financial Independence with the Option to Retire Early), and being international nomads. If you’re interested in the FIRE movement, have thought about retiring early or having that option, or have ever thought about living outside the box, this is the episode for you. Tim and Amy tell us all about how a trip to a life insurance agent put them on the FIRE path and led to them leaving their corporate jobs and selling their giant home. And guess what? They are happier and living better than ever. Tune in to hear all the details on how they make it work.    You can find out more about Tim and Amy on their YouTube channel GoWithLess   Links to things mentioned in the show: TrustedHouseSitters.com  Mr. Money Mustache Books by The Minimalists:  Love People, Use Things: Because the Opposite Never Works Everything That Remains: A Memoir by the Minimalists Minimalism: Live a Meaningful Life Essential: Essays by The Minimalists     Find full transcripts of episodes on the DocWorking Blog    Our New DocWorking THRIVE  Membership is here!!

“The achievement wasn’t what they really wanted, it was something inside. A sense of, as you said, fulfillment, meaning, contentment, service.” -Master Certified Coach Jill Farmer In this episode, Coaches Gabriella and Jill walk us through the important difference between achievement and success and why that difference matters in our lives. The DocWorking Coaches explain why sometimes achieving our goal doesn’t feel as fulfilling as we expected.

Dr. Krystal Sodaitis is an associate chief medical officer and board-certified pediatrician who adeptly transitioned from academic medicine to the health insurance industry. She discusses the significance of focusing on daily steps towards goals rather than fixating on the finish line. Listeners will learn about coaching twice-exceptional physicians, addressing feelings of guilt and shame prevalent in medicine, and the importance of mentorship and personalized coaching. Dr. Sodaitis champions living in the present and promoting civic engagement to enhance health democracy.

“I think a lot of times, in our minds we think we have this personal, big problem and that we are the only ones who have it, and so we’re embarrassed to admit it and we’re embarrassed to talk about it. But when you realize, ‘Oh, everybody has this problem,’ suddenly it doesn’t seem like as big of a problem anymore.” Dr. Jen Barna MD   In this episode, Coach Jill Farmer sits down with DocWorking’s Founder and CEO, Dr. Jen Barna for an honest and sincere conversation about why she created DocWorking. Dr. Barna is a board certified practicing radiologist and a visionary entrepreneur. She talks about the struggles she has faced balancing life and medicine, how she came to realize she was not alone, and how the transformation she experienced with professional coaching combined with recognition of the importance of community led to DocWorking THRIVE.    DocWorking THRIVE was created for doctors based on all the things doctors have told us they wanted. It is designed to accommodate the already overloaded physician’s schedule while providing ongoing group coaching, self paced courses and a strong physician community facilitated by our experienced coaching team, many of whom are physicians themselves.   Dr. Barna’s subspecialty is breast imaging, and she practices in the northeastern US since 2006. She earned her medical degree and completed her Diagnostic Radiology residency at the University of Tennessee School of Medicine. She earned a masters degree in Molecular and Cellular Biology from Washington University in St. Louis, and her undergraduate degree from Stony Brook University in New York.  Her business experience includes several startups, including Qelse (https://www.qelse.shop) an e-commerce boutique that creates designer walker/mobility bags, stroller bags and caddies.
