The Art of Strategic Disengagement: Building AI-Forward Practices from Peace, Not Performance
Episode 1
Friday, 9 January, 2026
Today, we're going to talk about something that might be the most important skill you'll need in 2026—and it has nothing to do with learning the latest AI tool or mastering a new clinical technique. And fair warning: I'm going to make some changes to how I practice in 2026 and what I spend my time on. Because sometimes the best way to teach something is to actually *live* it. We're talking about strategic disengagement. First, a definition. For this podcast, disengagement means permanently withdrawing from something or someone. Ending something.
