The Jen Marples Show episode 194 is here!
Today, I have the honor of speaking with Dr. Shannon Udovic-Constant, a remarkable woman who is not only a dedicated pediatrician but also a trailblazer in the field of healthcare leadership.
Shannon has recently taken on the prestigious role of California Medical Association President, becoming one of only five women to hold this position in the organization's 160-year history! Her journey and the insights she's gained along the way are truly inspiring, and I can't wait to dive in and share them with you!
Whether you're a woman in medicine, in any industry, an entrepreneur, or simply someone seeking to make a greater impact, I know Shannon's story and the strategies she's developed will empower you to step into your own midlife spotlight and claim the success you deserve.
Dr. Shannon Udovic-Constant is a visionary medical leader and fierce advocate for the advancement of women in medicine. She is an award-winning board-certified general pediatrician, current President of the California Medical Association, and founder and CEO of Physician Women Rising, a community and coaching platform dedicated to helping women in medicine smash barriers, seize leadership roles they deserve, and create lasting impact.
Shannon and I discuss:
- The importance of women stepping into leadership roles, especially in male-dominated fields like healthcare, to drive change and improve decision-making.
- Strategies for overcoming fear and self-doubt when pursuing leadership opportunities, including reframing challenges as an "adventure" rather than a threat.
- The value of introspection, strategic planning, and building relationships to position oneself for leadership roles.
- The power of collaboration, mentorship, and support systems to help women navigate the complexities of leadership.
- The benefits of embracing midlife as a time to pursue new challenges and make a lasting impact, without being held back by what others think.
Shannon Says: You’re Not Too F***ing Old! To smash barriers and seize the leadership that you deserve in order to have lasting impact!
