In S7 E 7 I am delighted to welcome Rob Orman, MD to the podcast.
Dr Orman is a physician coach and former emergency physician with two decades of clinical experience. He is the author of Supranormal: A Field Guide to Navigating the Impossible Job and helps doctors get unstuck, recover from burnout, and build careers worth staying in.
He is the host of Stimulus, a top-ranked medical podcast on resilience and career design for physicians, and an ICF-certified coach who has logged thousands of hours helping physicians navigate conflict, behavioral challenges, and major career transitions. Rob co-founded Guidewire Coaching, previously served as chief editor of EM:RAP, and for nearly a decade hosted Essentials of Emergency Medicine, the world's largest single-track emergency medicine conference. He was also a technical advisor on the Emmy-winning HBO series The Pitt.
In this episode, we talk about:
• Building a career you do not need to recover from - sustainability, longevity and flourishing rather than merely surviving
• Working ON your career, not just in it - are you renting or owning your career?
• Afterburn, and the distinction between healthy concern and unhealthy rumination
• The Supranormal Paradox - self-preservation reads as selfish in a culture that rewards self-sacrifice
• Grit that saves, grit that buries - the same tool, two very different outcomes
• Parasympathetic nurturing and self-care as an essential and trainable skill.
Thank you Rob for this coaching conversation and the new book which has given me more practical tools to take to my practice individually and with clinicians.
