33. The Power of Telling Your Story with Brett Linzer MD

Storytelling is a very powerful way of teaching and inspiring others. Sharing your own story conveys deep emotions and values that resonate and build a connection with your audience.

 


Dr. Brett Linzer, Pediatrics and Internal Medicine Physician from Wisconsin, experienced multiple stressors both at work and at home and even suffered the loss of three colleagues to suicide. As an introvert, he found it challenging to reach out for help and open up about his struggles. But with the help of Dr. Dike, he was able to learn to trust and take action. Today, he is an award-winning attending who shares with his students his own story and the lessons learned along the way.


 


"If I can use my story, if I can be of help to people, then I can put my ego to the side and just put myself out there and see what happens.” - Brett Linzer MD
