Life is 50:50; Preparing for Mt. Kilimanjaro
I leave on February 8th to meet 20+ biotech executives to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro for Climb for Cancer.
Our team has raised more than $1 million for The Fred Hutch Cancer Center.
Individually, I’ve raised more than $50K – amazing!
Mentally, I am prepared – I know that this will be 50:50 – a concept I’ve learned in Life Coaching.
Life cannot be all good or all bad.
Seven days on the highest peak in Africa will not be all good or all bad.
There will be days when I am feeling great
And
I’m prepared for days that I am not feeling well at all!
And the same will be true for my biotech colleagues;
We are in this together and we will be helping each other through the good days and the bad.
Life is 50:50
Transitioning to biopharma as a career is 50:50
There will be good days – good news – an interview, a networking email responded to
There will be less good days – no response from a job application or a frank rejection
We MUST keep going.
I’ll be focused on “keeping going” on Kili
