In this episode, I tell the behind the scenes story of how my Chair came after my job and (never shared before) the 4steps I took to save my job. The Chair accused me of hiding my coaching business—threatened legal action, job loss, and financial penalties—and how I used negotiation to turn the entire situation around. Instead of losing everything, I gained protected time, a leadership title, and full control of my business.
This story isn’t just about me. It’s a case study in what becomes possible when you stop spiraling into blame or fear, get on your own side, and learn how to negotiate.
Your boss will eventually threaten your job if you're practicing Medicine in 2025.
It's actually not a problem.
IF you know how to Negotiate. This episode is proof:
You can keep your job. You can make it better. And you can walk away for something better—on your terms.
📝 Journaling Prompts- Where have I been blaming myself (or others) lately? What would shift if I chose to focus on solving instead of shaming?
- What part of my job feels unsafe, unpredictable, or outside my control—If I fully believed I’m allowed to negotiate anything… what would I ask for right now?
- Where have I turned a near-disaster into something better? What helped me do that?
- What conversations have I been avoiding because I’m afraid of the outcome? What could I gain by having them skillfully?
