Many people working in Orthopedics are very smart and well educated, but lack soft skills. This holds them back.
Below are 9 soft skills that anyone can use to accelerate their career in Orthopedics.
1/Make People Feel Important (SHR method)
Your formula to be charismatic:
Seen• Give eye contact• Offer a specific compliment
Heard• Ask good questions• Be interested, not interesting
Remembered• Follow up• Remember name(s)• Recall something you discussed
2/Hone Your Body Language (7-38-55 Rule)
People will like/dislike your communication based on:
• 7% words• 38% tonality and face• 55% body language
Stand up straight, pull your shoulders back, make eye contact, smile, give a firm handshake…
You will be dangerous.
3/Master the 4-Bullet Update

4/Record and Study Your Speaking
The best communicator I know told me her secret:
