@mardi_steere takes the stage to discus systems, siloes, and kids. #DFTB22

Found her #tribe in paediatric emergency medicine.

Married an American. Moved to USA. Worked 80-100 hour weeks, while he was very supportive from a Navy submarine deployed for 6 months at a time.

Moved to Kenya for 8 years with 2 young kids.
Moved to Australia, RFDS, working with rural and remote people.

1. Dream A Dream
Consider your paediatric dream. Have you achieved it? Have you put it to one side? Have you suffered moral injury? (Not your fault.) Take the time to consider your dream again.

Now turn your dream into a Big Hairy Audacious Goal. #BHAG

@mardi_steere tells us her #BHAG. Don’t tell her boss, they don’t know. HINT: It’s about access to care for all Australians.

2. Stretch your bubble
Some of us are in comfortable bubbles, some are shrinking and compressing us, some can’t see outside our bubbles. @mardi_steere asks us to stretch our bubbles.

(2a. Don’t forget the bubble) #DFTB22

Many paediatric deaths
Paed resus nursing training
Cold-called @DFTBubbles for help. #DFTB22

Who is someone you know with the same dream?

Same location, different role?
Different location, same role?

Can we stretch our bubbles to achieve our dreams?

3. Let go of the Lolly 🍭
We won’t let go of our dream. We take our dream and try to use it. We must look at the need and adapt. There is probably something already there. Someone else’s dream.

4. Remember who you are

Things may fail
You may lose control
You may get caught up in the chaos

The hedgehog concept:
🦔 are 🦔 and they stay 🦔 their whole life
There’s only so much of you to go around. Are you being you, or have you become someone else?
