Confronting Incivility: Dr. Cynthia Clark's Blueprint for Healthier Workplaces

9/2/2025
Send us a text Dr. Cynthia Clark opens up about the hidden epidemic affecting healthcare environments nationwide: workplace incivility. Drawing from decades of research and practical experience, she paints a compelling picture of how seemingly minor behaviors like eye-rolling or walking away mid-conversation can create serious patient safety risks when they occur in clinical settings. What makes this conversation particularly illuminating is Dr. Clark's nuanced understanding of workplace dynamics. She introduces listeners to her "continuum of workplace aggression" framework, which helps identify problematic behaviors ranging from subtle nonverbal cues to outright bullying and gaslighting. Her explanation of how victims often blame themselves rather than recognizing manipulative behaviors provides a wake-up call for anyone who's experienced that unsettling feeling of questioning their own reality after an interaction with a difficult colleague. The heart of this episode focuses on cognitive rehearsal—a simulation-based technique that transforms how healthcare professionals respond to incivility. Through a practical five-step process, Dr. Clark demonstrates how professionals can prepare for and address difficult conversations rather than avoiding them. Her PAIL framework (Preview, Advocacy, Inquiry, Listen) offers a structured approach that anyone can implement immediately. The example scenario featuring "Iris," a domineering colleague who derails meetings, provides a masterclass in how to approach uncomfortable but necessary conversations. Whether you're a nursing educator, a healthcare professional, or anyone who's experienced workplace tension, this episode delivers practical strategies for creating more respectful environments. Dr. Clark's insistence on calling communication competencies "power skills" rather than "soft skills" underscores their critical importance in healthcare settings where lives literally depend on effective collaboration.
