If your finger is hovering over the e-mail blast button, stop and join this break-out session. More e-mail from your Society, could equal less engagement and, even worse, more unsubscribes.

There is evidence that psychological counseling / coaching can improve physician wellness. However, physicians and organizations may fail to utilize these types of programs due to a variety of perceived barriers. We will describe common barriers both from in the literature as well as our personal experience running two large medical society physician wellness programs.

Our human systems appear to operate within a set of universal laws, the same universal laws that appear to govern energy exchange throughout the universe. Our systems vacillate and transform from chaos to order, and order to chaos, leaving change in their wake. Why? This session will be a fun and engaging journey exploring several key universal laws and their application to human system dynamics and leadership
