On this episode I share how the Serenity Prayer and an old punk rock anthem can help you gain much-needed perspective when things suck at work.

The Serenity Prayer is a prayer attributed to the American theologian Reinhold Niebuhr (1892–1971) in 1943. 

The Clash is the band that performs Should I Stay or Should I Go? Check the song out at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMaE6toi4mk.

Dr. Jennie Byrne is  Chief Patient Officer at Belong Health. She lives to connect the dots between people and ideas in new and unexpected ways. She's a clinical translator between segments of our complex health system -- clinicians, finance, operations, data, technology, research. I have strong people skills and enjoy bringing psychological savvy and EQ to complicated problems. 

Clients have called Dr. Byrne a triple threat because she:

1) Clinical Experience -- nearly two decades of clinical experience as an MD/PhD
2) Entrepreneur -- I’ve founded and grown a clinical organization through the entire life cycle of inception to exit
3) C-level Leadership -- led teams to create and innovate clinical programs as a C-level leader

She's the author of Work Smart: Brain/Behavior/Creativity and the Future of Work which was released in January 2023. In the book she asks the questions many of us are asking today:

• Why are we experiencing empathy fatigue and what can we do about it?
• Where did the Traditional (prepandemic) Office culture come from? 
• How can we make work not suck? 

ABOUT THE BOOK 

Everyone thinks the future of work is about better technology. In Work Smart Dr. Jennie Byrne will convince you that the future of work is about being a better human. 

You will learn a little science about how human brains and behavior work, and you will learn a lot about how the workplace can be better. This book will leave you with a passion and excitement for creating a new workplace that is more humanistic and equitable. Ultimately, this book is your tool to work smarter rather than work harder. 

In this book, you will: 

• Learn how to manage your time aggressively and intentionally. 
• Learn how to cultivate empathy and challenge assumptions. 
• Relearn how to communicate in the digital age.
