S4 EP5: Regulate Before You Relate: Leading Out of Survival Mode
From The Chaos Whisperers of Healthcare · 00:27:25
Show by Dr. Megan Carter DNP, RN, NEA-BC
Dr. Megan Carter talks with Dr. Erica Kreismann, an emergency medicine physician of 25+ years and executive coach, about the internal chaos of leading from exhaustion. Erica shares the staffing crisis that led her to close her emergency department on weekends, and why self-awareness is the foundation of all leadership. She also offers simple ways to reset in the middle of a chaotic day and turn tension with executives into curiosity.Chaos Whisperer Practical TipsCheck in with yourself in 30 seconds. Put your hand on your heart and take a deep breath, or try box breathing, to tell your body you're safe before you respond.Practice regulation like you practice codes. We run simulations for every crisis but rarely for ourselves. Build grounding habits now so the muscle memory is there when you need it.When in doubt, choose curiosity. Swap judgment for a genuine "Can you help me understand?" or "Tell me more about that" to find points of alignment, especially with non-clinical leaders.Give 100% of what you have today. Some days your 100% is 100% of the 40% you've got. Name where you're at without judgment and give yourself the grace you give others.Connect with our guestLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/erica-kreismann/ Newsletter – Wild Enough to Lead: https://wildmusings.carrd.co/ Course – From Imposter to Expert (self-paced, 10 hours of CME, plus a free 30-minute coaching session when you purchase through this link): https://onewildcoaching.kit.com/edffa9e695Connect with Dr. CarterLinktree: https://linktr.ee/ChaosWhispererMCKeywords: healthcare leadership, leader burnout, survival mode, self-awareness, nervous system regulation, box breathing, reactive leadership, curiosity in leadership, imposter syndrome, emergency medicine, physician leadership, staffing shortages, self-compassion, executive coaching
