Celebrating My BIRTHDAY!
Happy Birthday to me! I turned 51 yesterday…and I had the great pleasure of spending my birthday weekend at Brave Enough. Brave Enough is a conference for women physicians and this is the 2nd year I’ve attended. In the last couple of weeks I’ve been spending a lot of time on my own personal growth. Growing through physician conferences, such as Brave Enough and PIMDCON and through coaching with my life coach. I look forward to sharing reflections from both Brave Enough AND PIMDCON throughout the month of October!
As I reflect on another year on the planet, I’ve continued to grow in my career as a Chief Medical Officer of a public biotech company, had the opportunity to help many physicians that are interested in a fulfilling career transition to biotech/pharma, launched one adult child into the world and began to pave a new path in my personal life.
Regarding The Pharma IndustryMDCoach, this past year I’ve coached physicians from multiple specialties including Internal Medicine, Nephrology, Neurology, Emergency Medicine, Pediatrics, Pediatric specialties including Gastroenterology, Developmental Pediatrics and Hematology/Oncology. Additionally, I’m proud to say one of my clients who did not finish residency continued to apply for roles despite rejections and that perseverance paid off [he got his first job at a Contract Research Organization (CRO)!]
As I think about going into my next year of life, I am continuing to look for opportunities to grow. Here are a few of my areas of focus for my 51st year:
- Commit 100% to the physician Mastermind I joined last week
- Deliver great value to my Pharma IndustryMDCoach clients
- Enjoy the training for my upcoming trip to Patagonia to hike the “O Circuit”
- Remind myself of and continue to build toward my 5 year goal
You get to choose what your next year looks like. It does not have to be at the time of the new year or a birthday – choose today to start building the life you choose. If biotech/pharma is a career you are interested in make sure to follow our Facebook, Instagram and use all the free resources on the website!
