Some words of advice: 

  • Have the courage to do the right thing, not the most popular thing.
  • Listen to your internal compass.
  • Lead with your heart.
  • Love, compassion, and then accountability.
  • Crave the success of others. 
  • Tell the truth in a way that is not divisive.
  • Instill Hope...the promise that there are brighter days ahead.

 

I have been blessed to weather many storms and thrive in a very difficult chapter for many in leadership. I am always willing to help reflect on approaches to help leaders continuously improve. I love working with educational leadership teams and have even served as an inspiration speaker on several occasions. Please feel free to reach our to me if you feel I can help.

 

I love the Imagery of the Blacksmith. As leaders, we must learn to acknowledge and accept our juxtaposition between being the Master Blacksmith, the unshaped material in the fire, or the scrapes on the floor of the Blacksmith's shop. Credit to Max Lucado and hid poem/book, On the Anvil

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
