Objectives: The delegates to this conference represent an impressive consortium of healthcare professionals, leaders, and decisionmakers with demonstrativeachievements. Yet, who takes care of the health and well-being of our allied service providers to sustain effective performance? Scope: With our focus on the future of healthcare and those needing our expertise, we tend to delay or ignore attention to ourselves. Every healthcare provider here and at work deserves the benefit of looking after themselves along with others to positively affect their performance. Method: The Bar-On Multifactor Measure of Performance (MMP)is an innovative method to identifyweaknesses and imbalances in underlying factors that contribute to performance and well-being.The published development and psychometric validation of this fourth version of the MMP is based on a large normative population (n=3,039). It is suitable for understanding current performance strengths and areas for professional and leadership performance improvement. Preventive monitoring at regular intervals is supported by targeted development suggestions. It can facilitate recruitment, selection, and succession planning. The MMP takes an average of 20 minutes to complete. Administration is largely automated, and performance results are immediately accessible online for point-of-care. Results: Knowing what drives us to perform and how we display this at work, is essential for becoming better at it. We will share with delegates a few select profile examples with a brief case history. We will demonstrate these interactively and discuss how one might be able to identify early signs that could uniquely affect individuals’somatic and mental attentiveness, their intrapersonalacuity, relationship quality, and what encourages them for overall happiness and success. Conclusion: The MMP offers an opportunity to invest in ourselves to enhance our effectiveness and resilience, and extend the same to empower our patients as well.
