Practical Lessons From the Operating Room You Can Apply to Life

Some things are universal. For instance, you can learn lessons from one area (even a very technical one) that apply to other areas of your life (or life, in general).

Let’s take the operating room. I recently led a young trainee through a surgical skill and believe some things you do as a surgeon can translate to everyday living, despite the very scientific nature of the job.

So in this episode of the Words of Love podcast, you’ll go inside the mind of a surgeon as I share with you the recording of that surgical trainee session. In it, I’ll teach you some practical lessons you can apply to anything you want to learn or do at any level.

5:13 - How making a bed can teach you feedback recognition
