About us
Why Notch? In just over 10 years in practice as a busy orthopaedic surgeon, I have built a career as an internationally renowned surgeon and scientist, with over 350 publications, 15 book chapters, and a Canada Research Chair (Tier 2), all while maintaining a full time clinical practice and a busy family life with my wife and 4 young children. How was it possible to achieve this much this fast? I will show you. I have always been a keen strategist. Early on in my career I discovered the principles of branding and marketing and took the unique approach of applying them to my academic career. It was not always a straight trajectory upwards, but with careful planning and a strategic mindset I was able to accelerate my academic career. Through Notch, I am excited to share what I have learned with you to help ignite your career as well. Dr. Olufemi Ayeni

"In the operating room, intergenerational communication becomes more than just a soft skill - it is a critical component of survival." - Olufemi (Femi) Ayeni What strategies have helped improve intergenerational communication for your team? Leave your thoughts in the comments below ⬇️ and follow Notch Academy for more insights on leadership, team dynamics, and communication!
In the operating room, where the difference between life and death can be determined in a matter of seconds, stakes are extraordinarily high. Each member of my surgical team, from the most experienced surgeon to the newest trainee, plays a critical role. Generational differences in communication styles can sometimes cause hesitation or errors, underscoring the need to bridge these gaps. Effective communication across all levels isn’t just important - it’s non-negotiable. In the operating room, intergenerational communication becomes more than just a soft skill - it is a critical component of survival. This challenge extends beyond surgery - multigenerational teams across all industries offer a wealth of perspectives. While bridging communication gaps requires intentional effort and openness, the rewards are profound. In my latest article, I share strategies I’ve developed to transform these challenges into strengths. Share your thoughts in the comments below, and be sure to follow Notch Academy for more insights on leadership, team dynamics, and communication.
