Speaking & Workshops

Empower Your Physicians With The Tools That They Need!

Leadership and other professional skills.  Intentional career-design.  Tools for resilience.

Flexner Dean’s Lecture, Vanderbilt School of Medicine, December 2017

These are the things that they never taught you in medical school, and yet are paramount for any physician hoping to thrive as an attending. BCS is a national leader in providing keynotes and workshops to address these gaps – not just with information, but with actionable ideas and skills that physicians can actually use.

The following are our most requested topics. Each presentation can be given as a stand-alone keynote, or in a more interactive workshop format perfect for breakout sessions or targeted group training. Topics can also be combined to create half-day and full day workshops custom to your providers’ needs.

Leadership & Professional Skills:

• To Be A Physician Is To Lead – Critical leadership skills for any attending
• Powerful Public Speaking – How to stop presenting like a physician and start presenting for influence (focused on physicians in non-traditional / industry roles and high-level leadership)
• Stop Managing and Start Coaching – Coaching for performance in healthcare

Career-Design:

• Intentional Life Design for Physicians – How to have a career rather than your career having you
• Proven Strategies for Non-clinical Career Transition – Developing new opportunities for growth and challenge

Well-being & Resilience:

• Skills for Moving Forward in a Covid-19 World
• Burnout & The Physician Brain – Using science to burnout proof ourselves and those we lead
• Are We Perfect Yet? – The Inner Critic and self-compassion for physicians
