ABOUT THIS LECTURE

In the fast-paced world of healthcare, time often feels like our scarcest resource. As leaders, we juggle patient care, administrative duties, teaching, and mentorship—all while trying to maintain some semblance of a personal life. But the real challenge isn’t time itself; it’s the lack of boundaries.  This talk is designed for women in healthcare leadership roles—physicians, advanced practice providers, and administrators—who feel overwhelmed by competing demands and want to reclaim their time, energy, and focus.

This session will reframe time management as a boundaries issue, giving participants the tools to protect their time without guilt. Through practical strategies, real-world examples, and guided reflection, attendees will learn how to shift from reactive to intentional leadership—reducing overwhelm and creating more space for what truly matters.  They will learn how to set and enforce boundaries as a strategic tool for time management, allowing them to lead with clarity, confidence, and balance.

Learning Objectives:

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

  • Identify the key time drains that sabotage productivity and contribute to burnout.
  • Implement boundary-setting strategies that protect time and energy without guilt.
  • Use “positive no” techniques to say no in a way that preserves relationships and credibility.
  • Develop a personal boundary-setting action plan to immediately apply in their work and life.
  • Shift from feeling constantly reactive to leading with greater control, clarity, and calm.
