Curious Now Listeners #9: "My Wife Finds It Mind-Boggling"
Mel Barlow and BJ So rejoin us to talk about the experience of testing using new listening styles at home and at work. Both noticed a similar trend of listening to respond with family and loved ones even when our professional practice is a conscious listening to understand. How do we bring what we know about being a better listener from our professional life back into our home life?

Curious Now #9: What Are We Listening For?
This week on Curious Now we’re looking at new research on listening styles and how they impact our teams and cultures in the world of healthcare. What are we listening for when we listen to people? We’ll explore our default style, and notice how we can intentionally shift the way that we listen in order to lower our internal tension and work with others better.

Curious Now Listeners #8: "I really underestimated what it would be like for someone new."
In this week’s Curious Now, our two listeners examine the results they got using the Feedback Pre-Think Chart in preparation for a feedback conversation. In the first, BJ So describes being asked to supervise a more senior clinician learning a newer technique, while in the second Mel Barlow tries onboarding a new colleague from a less feedback-positive culture into an established team with good feedback practices.

Curious Now #8: The Core Feedback Dilemma
This week on Curious Now we dig into the central dilemma in all feedback conversations--how do I criticize your performance without hurting your feelings? On the podcast we've delved deeply into our own processing and understanding of our judgment and reactions to situations where someone else didn't meet our standard. Ultimately, though, for healthcare professionals we often have a final step where we have to do something about the sub-standard performance. How do we talk to our learners and our peers about what they did?

A nurse preceptor has just watched a trainee commit a serious error despite hours of lecture, reading, and hands on training. In spite of herself, she starts to heat up, much like the more severe clinical educators who trained her years ago. “Why can’t you just get this right?”
An ICU attending asks her resident to call her if a patient’s hematocrit drops under a certain value. Despite this agreement, and despite the patient deteriorating, the resident never calls. “Are you an idiot? Why didn’t you call me?”
In these moments, how do we reset ourself to a place of care, curiosity, and compassion? How do we model a better culture of learning? How do we have our judgment, instead of our judgment having us?
In “Curious Now with Jenny Rudolph,” a social scientist takes on the hidden structures that shape our behavior, culture, communication, and learning in healthcare.
In this interactive podcast, Jenny Rudolph, PhD, FSSH, will help listeners approach the thoughts, feelings, and judgments underlying their reactions in a psychologically safer manner, helping us to better connect with curiosity and compassion to the people around us, especially when we feel that they’ve done something “wrong.” This podcast will include weekly challenges to examine your own thinking, including follow-up with listeners and experts about their experience on the journey to Good Judgment.
Jenny Rudolph has made a career exploring what makes clinicians, healthcare organizations, and health professions training programs tick. Underneath the surface of intelligent, capable people who care about doing their best are hidden patterns that interfere with how they perform. Hierarchy, ego, communication glitches, resilience, power, professional learning, and how learning happens all flow downstream into creating actions that work and actions that don’t.
Jenny found out the hard way that being too certain can get you in trouble. Demoted from third to second grade for poor academic performance when she arrived in Jaipur, India as an eight-year-old, she realized she had better get curious about how her new school and culture ran, and that curiosity has remained with her ever since.
Jenny now works with clinicians around the world to help them develop their own love of that little dopamine drip of rewarding surprise when you find out something new about your colleagues and how they think. Whether trying to figure out a diagnosis, discovering what a learner is thinking, or upping your own clinical mastery, getting Curious Now is the solution.
