Thank you so much to our Australian hosts including Nathan Oliver and the Canberra Region Debriefing Club, a community of skilled, thoughtful teachers who made this virtual visit a deep and helpful conversation: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-center-for-medical-simulation/id1279266822

In this week’s episode, Jenny joins the Canberra Region Meta Debrief Club to talk about moments in our teaching where our judgment flares up and we start to get indignant with our colleagues and our learners, even ones who we care deeply about!

This wonderful group of participated in a meta-debriefing of their experiences with difficult judgments during their teaching and personal lives that helped us understand what’s happening to us when we flare up from our judgments.

Workout of the week: When you find yourself judging, or even experiencing heightened emotions, ask yourself, what is the standard I’m holding here?
