“I happened to meet Dr. Amna Shabbir through LinkedIn and immediately fell in love with her posts and video posts. Her genuine nature shines through and through, so when I was searching for speakers for a virtual summit I was created for medical students and she responded to my posting, I knew she would be the perfect fit. And she was! She is a fantastic clear communicator, was my most prepared speaker, has a unique life and career story that resonates with a variety of people, and has a novel way with words. She has the innate ability to effortlessly engage her audience.

"Attending the well-being session led by Dr. Amna Shabbir was truly enlightening. Her deep insights into the subjects of burnout and self-compassion resonated profoundly with our physician audience. The practical strategies shared have already started making a positive impact on how I approach my demanding role at work.

Her delivery style is clear, motivating, and articulate.”

- Dr. Collin Burks (Duke University)

"Amna was invited to speak at one of our weekly resident wellness hours and gave a very thoughtful (and thought-provoking) talk on self-compassion, identifying how we often lack it as physicians and how we can introduce certain exercises into our lives to build up this underused but necessary skill. I believe this was the first of its kind talk for our program and I am grateful to Amna for coming up and sharing her wonderful, kind, and soulful thoughts with us. In our line of work, we often extend compassion to everyone except it turns out, ourselves, which inevitably leads to consequences like burnout and eventually even compassion fatigue to the rest of the world. So I appreciate that this was identified as a topic of discussion so we can identify it early and build practices that allow us to engage with ourselves with more love, kindness, and forgiveness. The importance of these gentle reminders is so much needed in our profession and I think Amna is doing a spectacular job of supporting her colleagues, especially early career physicians who can often feel overwhelmed and silenced in less outspoken work environments. Thank you, Amna!"
