About
Nicole Eull, PsyD
Hello there! I’m super glad that you came by to check things out.
It’s important for you to know that if you are looking for someone to deliver serious information in a formal way with slides full of words, then you are most definitely in the wrong place. Thanks for stopping by and I wish you luck in your search.
Oh! You’re still here. Spectacular! So you are a risk-taker, an inspirational leader, a concerned colleague, or maybe just the schmuck who volunteered to coordinate this year’s wellness event. I’m happy to help but let’s get some things straight. I may make your audience laugh (a lot) and then they might cry too. They may leave with big ideas and practical suggestions to implement those ideas. They may watch videos and see colorful pictures (some of my super adorable children). They will likely be asked to stand up, move around and talk to strangers.
My passion is Physician Health. I am frequently asked to speak to other medical providers too. Some popular topics include creating happiness, stress management, cultural competence, anger management, and effective clinical and interpersonal communication. I’ve had the pleasure of working with healthcare organizations, professional groups, and corporations across the country. I have not had the opportunity to present in a villa in Tuscany but I remain optimistic.
So why should you care what I have to say? Do I have any credibility? Such a good question! I am an integrative health psychologist with over a decade working with physicians and medical staff in many different settings and specialties. I serve as the Director of Wellbeing for Academic Affairs and train residents in Family Medicine at Advocate Aurora Healthcare in Milwaukee, WI. I spend most days educating medical providers and developing programs to improve physician engagement and satisfaction across our organization.
In response to my colleagues challenges and concerns, I launched MySkillRx.com, and the soon to be launched DocNicole.com. I also wrote “Well to Do: A Guide to Take Charge, Set Goals and Improve Your Health” available on Amazon.com. My mission is to provide affordable and evidenced-based tools to help healthcare providers “Give a Skill, Not a Pill.” I am really interested in improving the effectiveness and enjoyment of the interaction between provider and patient.
It might help to know a little about the kind of person I am. I love yoga and I’m a certified yoga instructor so you never know when we’ll throw some good stretches in. I love speaking Spanish which I consider a hobby related to my greatest passion which is travel. I have a ridiculously patient husband and two of the greatest kids on the planet. I really enjoy cooking, gardening, scuba diving, reading, community service and lots of family time with my husband, daughter, and son. I have a fur baby named Sunny who is the cutest puppy on the planet (so sorry if you thought your puppy was the cutest).
Thanks for taking the time to get to know me a little better. I think making a personal connection is important to build trust and engagement but some people may want some objective measures of my credibility so here are a few…
