Hot Topic that should healthcare leaders agenda:  Being patient care focused, how to do this better each year.  Being niche focused and customer centric.

 

Setbacks that you learned from:  Not taking roles that were exciting to me just to take the next step in climbing the ladder.  Do things that excite you and energize you!

Proudest leadership moments:  When people that worked with me in my law firm rose to the top and became a partner.  Helping others succeed “arrive” and grow into leaders themselves.  Be a level 6 leader.

 

An exciting project you’re working on:  Growing the Becker’s Hospital Review Executive meeting to a new level with the leadership of my partners, we’re hosting the brightest minds in healthcare.  Creating something exciting and interesting that entertains and teaches in a way that also improves healthcare.
