You're preparing for a public speaking event in a large venue. What are the best microphones to use?
As someone who has addressed his fair share of large crowds, this is a field I speak on with some authority. When choosing a microphone for speaking at a large event, I cannot overstress the importance of using whatever the heck they give you at the venue.

How can you stay motivated when writing for long periods of time?
Having spent over a year researching and writing on a topic while balancing two small kids and major career developments, I speak from some experience. The best advice I can offer is to have trustworthy people in your network who you can torture with tiny drafts. By tiny drafts I mean little snippets of the final piece that you are satisfied with enough to share. The immediate feedback you get from these snippets makes for a much needed jolt of energy. This energy gets you to the next step of the writing process. And with no apparent end in sight, all you can count on is the next step.

How can you build trust with physicians in a team setting?
A colleague once said: "Physicians are knowledge workers, but we treat them like factory workers". Doctors undertake a daunting journey, only to end up shackled to the grindstone of "more": more patients, more hours, more efficiency. Instead of using their considerable knowledge to figure out new ways of care, they are reduced to providing it. To build trust, outsiders would do well to recognize this: that very often the changes we wish to impart on clinicians have already been considered by and significantly improved upon by them. Rather than approaching doctors with ideas, approach them with questions. Appreciate that they are the experts of their work, and listen for ways to create space for them to realize their ideas.
