A few months ago I attended a reception at a conference sponsored by a Nephrology Journal Club (#NephJC) which I had referenced in my Amedea Pharma Blog and prior expert panel discussions because of its tremendous growth and popularity.

What happens when you add the role and duty of "inspiring people" to your title of a leader whether or not it is in your job description? It becomes a secret ingredient to your team's success, your legacy, high team engagement, recognition and awards.

He has authored a new article called "The Sequence of Success" based on his determination to make inspiring others his duty. In our introspective reflection of his career and philosophy, he explains how he led "two levels deep" to turn around a slow launch of a global cardiovascular product and earn the company's most prestigious CEO Award to go on to become one of the most decorated award winning leaders in his organization and discusses many other pressing management topics of today. 3:19 - Q1: Key Factors to Career Success? 3:37 - 1.

This is a special, short episode inspired by the Thanksgiving Holiday that serves as an important pause as we near the last month of 2021! Because the purpose of Alloutcoach is to inspire all of us to cross over borders to transcend the differences we have from others, and to extend the boundaries of our roles and responsibilities, I chose to discuss a Holiday that has truly crossed over its unique national history and borders because of its universal message we should carry with us across the globe after Thanksgiving and throughout the year. ...Certain holidays cross over their intended design or population of people to become mainstream and universal. But more than their popularity, it is 1) the ability of a particular Holiday to connect a maximal amount of people rather than separate them, 2) to uplift, to inspire a call to action as a result of a particular event in history, and 3) to carry an important meaning of hope or future transformation that makes some Holidays such as Thanksgiving worthy of bein
