What I’m learning about moving forward in uncertainty

Pursuing Peak Performance
Ask yourself the question: could you be doing better? Use whatever frame of reference you would like, and I bet in at least one area or another you would answer yes. Undoubtedly everyone has enjoyed a period, whether long or short, when they felt like they have hit...
More activity, more results
The old sales adage can be applied to career transition as well—activity equals results. Yet, this is where so many people fail. They don’t buy into this equation, limit their activity, and consequently limit their results. By focusing on those activities that you...
In healthcare finance, the numbers alone are not enough

Come with me: Finding the source of your motivation
In past articles, I have shared about my (fairly new) love for running. Truth be told, though, I am not sure I actually love running itself as much as the escape that running offers me. I love the pure physical exhaustion that lets my mind be free of everything and...
When reaching out to your network, focus on connection, not the “big ask”
