In this episode of the Creative Careers in Medicine podcast, host Dr Dana Phang is joined by Dr Carlo Bellini to discuss tips and strategies for setting oneself up for success in the new year. Dr Bellini, an experienced consultant and coach with a background in healthcare, psychology, leadership, and innovation, shares valuable insights on how to approach career planning and personal growth as the new year approaches. With a focus on intentionality, Carlo emphasises the importance of reflecting on past experiences, identifying areas for improvement, and setting specific, measurable goals for the future. He discourages the idea of "New Year, New You" and instead advocates for being intentional about desired changes and deliberately planning for personal and professional development. Dr Bellini offers practical advice for implementing these strategies, including adopting a mindset that recognises the influence of present decisions on future outcomes and taking a proactive approach to planning one's calendar for the year. Drawing from his own experience, he provides actionable steps for structuring and scheduling activities that align with individual goals and aspirations. Carlo encourages listeners to bet on themselves, emphasising the power of self-confidence and resilience in pursuing career ambitions. His message of empowerment and self-investment serves as a valuable source of inspiration for healthcare professionals seeking to take charge of their careers and personal growth in the coming year.
