Talking Polarities: From Just Either/Or to Supplementing Either/Or with Both/And

What is your Greater Purpose Statement, or GPS? Let’s use “WELLBEING – As an excellent clinician, who is satisfied with how I’ve integrated other important parts of my life.” What is your greatest fear? Let’s use “Being depressed, unhappy and an incompetent physician.”

Next, write your preferred polarity in the racetrack blank on the left, labeled “A.” Because this is an issue about coaching physicians, who (for better or worse) put their Professional Life first, let’s put “Professional (Life)” on the left and “Personal (Life)” on the right.
