When you’re in the midst of burnout, it can be difficult to recognize the signs and take action. Things may feel the same, but with a depleted amount of overall energy to take on what you normally would. So how can we learn to recognize the signs of burnout? And how can we build resilience in the process?
Joining us today to discuss this complex topic is Dr. Gary Simonds, who, for the past 14 years, has immersed himself in the study of burnout and building resilience. He’s the author of three books on the subject, namely, Building Resilience in Neurosurgical Residents, The Thriving Physician, and Thriving in Healthcare.
Having spent the bulk of his career as a neurosurgeon, Dr. Simonds is no stranger to the toll that this type of work can take on healthcare workers. Tuning in you’ll hear him expand on the nature of burnout, why it can be so difficult to recognize, and what we can do to build resilience. To hear his insights on this complicated subject, and his advice on how to address it, be sure to tune in today!What you’ll learn about in this episode:
Why burnout isn’t a binary condition, but rather, exists on a spectrum.Indicators of burnout that Dr. Simonds learned to recognize in his peers.A breakdown of how burnout affected his team.How he helped them build resilience in weekly meetings over many months.The transformative impact that building resilience had on his team.Why repetition, consistency, and offering a range of methods are key to building resilience.Unpacking the impact the COVID pandemic had on the healthcare industry.What you can do to combat burnout at an individual level in the absence of systemic reforms.Training students to deliver compassionate care with resilience.Why finding meaning in your work acts as an antidote to burnout.How being resilient can have a positive effect on the resilience of others.Dr. Simonds's foray into fiction and how he got the idea for his book Death’s Pale Flag.The courage, grace, and humanity of his patients and their families (and why they never fail to inspire him).

Quantum leaps are those life-changing events that reshape every aspect of our existence. Collectively, are we approaching major disruptions as we should be, or are we still clinging to old ways that have zero effect on an increasingly unpredictable way of life?
Mark Monchek is our go-to guest and friend of the show for topics that transform the way we think, so it’s no surprise that he’s back with us today to help us navigate the slippery slope of unexpected quantum leaps. Mark begins by sharing his thoughts on society’s approach to quantum leaps and major life disruptions before explaining why life’s only guarantee is the consistency of change.
We discuss the value of presence and awareness and how these differ from consciousness, how to be more intuitive and less reactive in any situation, how crisis often brings out the best in us as compassionate human beings, and how Western capitalism has tried to destroy the thing all people need the most – community.
To end, we explore the possibility of a world without borders and what it would take to have cultural, economic, and political integration on a global scale, and we learn about the importance of sports, arts, and travel in cultivating a more holistic view of the world.

In a world with so much perpetual violence, hatred, poverty, and suffering, how can we use love to lift humanity? At the root of humanity is love and the opposite of love is not hatred, it is fear. What if we could combat that fear in order to help everyone reach the other side of their potential?
Today on The Other Side of Potential, Dr. Spano is joined by the founder and CEO of Continuum Consulting Services, Wendy White, to discuss her efforts to help solve massive world problems by reframing the idea of change for large business leaders and spreading love globally. Inspired by the events of 9/11, Wendy has dedicated her life to helping uplift her community and create a sense of collaboration to foster social change.
In our conversation, Wendy unpacks some global issues such as climate change, encourages business owners and thought leaders to reframe the way they work and how they measure success, and tells us how her incredible initiative, Crossroads Collaboratory is leveraging the idea of collaboration with fellow thought leaders to drive change in the world. She also tells us about her incredible organization, Let’s Choose Love, what inspired its creation, and how she is helping her community through incredible grants and coaching sessions. Tune in now to hear all about Wendy’s mission to create a world where love rules!
What you’ll learn about in this episode:
How Wendy’s passion for the greater challenges she is combating through her work was formed within her. Why businesses have to transform the way they work and measure their success in today’s climate. How to reframe the idea of change for the business leaders who are resisting the social changes the world is inevitably leaning towards. The realities of climate change and the opinions of thought leaders Wendy is surrounded by on the issue. The importance of focusing on those who are aware of the danger of climate change, not just those denying its existence. Wendy tells us about her initiative, Crossroads Collaboratory: Our Earthshot Moment, what it’s about, and what inspired it. How to get involved in Crossroads Collaboratory and why it’s so important that people do involve themselves. Wendy tells us about her vision for her other initiative, Let’s Choose Love, and how it integrates with Crossroads Collaborative. A little bit about the incredible grants and coaching sessions that she and her company have given out through Let’s Choose Love. Our guest leaves us with some final thoughts and invites us to join her in her mission to create a world where love rules.
