Dr. Greenawald’ Prescription for Success:

Number 1: Learn to ask for help, and when help is offered, find a way to accept it.

Number 2: No one is watching out for your wellbeing more than you are.

Number 3: Have at least one mentor throughout your career, and look for opportunities to mentor others.

Number 4: Take a practice that teaches present moment awareness.

Number 5: Set your intentions, so you live your life by design, not by default.

Number 6: Look for opportunities to grow and change.

Notable quotes from Dr. Greenawald’s interview:

I was in awe of those poeple who took time off from school.
There is a teacher gene in me.
We can all be part of something bigger than ourselves.
The things we carry around in healthcare are heavy, long lasting, and open wounds.
