You Didn’t Get the Promotion You Deserve. Now What?

“...and also, to let yourself grieve. Nobody wants to use that terminology unless we know somebody has died. And we’ll even say, ‘Well at least nobody died.’ But there is a grief. We had an idea, we had a dream, we had an expectation and you know, grief is really healthy.” -Master Certified Life Coach Jill Farmer
In today’s episode, Master Certified Coach Jill Farmer and Coach Gabriella Dennery MD talk us through the healthy way to deal with not getting that promotion you’ve been waiting for or other major disappointments in your life. We have all dealt with disappointment, it’s a natural part of life. The key is to allow yourself to feel that feeling of disappointment and to grieve the loss of the thing you wanted and had worked so hard to achieve. When you allow yourself to feel those feelings and move through them, you come out better on the other side. It allows us to grow and to build our resiliency muscle. We gain from the disappointment when we let ourselves feel it and then move through it.

At DocWorking, our specialty is Coaching Physicians to achieve the best of life and medicine.
Doctors devote their lives to caring for others. But does that mean they must sacrifice their own health and wellbeing? Absolutely not!
At DocWorking, we have developed a unique way to embrace it all.
The caring for others that you do so selflessly AND the caring for YOURSELF AND YOUR FAMILY that you crave in order to bring it all into the perfect balance specific to YOU.
What if we told you that you CAN have it all? The career you dreamed of when you decided to become a doctor AND the life outside of medicine that you desire?
DocWorking empowers physicians to get back on the path to achieving their dreams.

Take Back Your Time: Get a Virtual Assistant docworking.com/trusted-resour...
Working in the medical field is fulfilling but it can also be exhausting. Physicians often sacrifice their personal time to carry out their duties. They want to go on vacations, start passion projects, or start side businesses but finding the time seems impossible. Recently, more and more physicians are giving outsourcing a try. Outsourcing allows you to delegate tasks to virtual assistants so you can free up your time and finally do whatever it is you’ve been wanting to do.

Forget making space for emotion. I got so mad when a colleague with a lot less responsibility was promoted around me for a big payrise that it made me ill. I got a new job with a lot more money, more senior title and actually less pressure and responsibility than my previous job. I took great pleasure in throwing my notice in and my old boss suddenly changed his tune and began realising my worth. I bumped into him about five years later and he admitted I was right to leave.

Rejection is a divine protection in disguise. If you can't move up, you may have to move out, and move on.

[@docworking]

Wise words

[@Phoenix-pm2qr]

After 7 years and 2 promo rejections, 100% time to move on. They don't value my skillset. Time to find someone who does.

[@frufrubb45]
