She reveals the hidden shame cycle of conflict avoidance that so many women physicians know too well, shares her dead-simple, OR-tested CUE Method that turns surgeon-anesthesiologist standoffs into collaborative wins, explains how to treat imposter thoughts like bad evidence in court, and proves that curiosity, not volume is the ultimate leadership superpower. If you’ve ever felt “I’m too quiet, too nice, too introverted to lead,” this episode is your permission slip to lead exactly as you are and win.Three Actionable Takeaways:Stop trying to become the loud leader you’re not: Identify your natural strengths (quiet observation, deep listening, empathy) and weaponize them. Authenticity builds trust faster than volume ever will. Lean into who you are, the right rooms will amplify you.Use the CUE Method in your next conflict: Create space, pause and breathe. Uncover what’s underneath both positions “I’m worried about patient safety or you’re worried about schedule flow”, then explore a third option that serves both. Practice it until it’s muscle memory.Kill imposter thoughts with facts: When “I only got this because no one else wanted it” shows up, demand evidence like you’re cross-examining a witness. Write down the actual facts of why you’re in the role. Read them daily until your brain believes you belong.About the Show: Behind every procedure, every patient encounter, lies an untold story of conflict and negotiation. Scalpel and Sword, hosted by Dr. Lee Sharma—physician, mediator, and guide—invites listeners into the unseen battles and breakthroughs of modern medicine.
