As summer comes to an end, many of us enter into a busy season – whether you’re resuming work, or have children who are starting extracurricular activities – our plates get full. This season can feel overwhelming for a lot of people, but especially for perfectionists. I’ve shared with you my struggle with perfectionism in […]
It’s no secret that I work in an industry that is experiencing a workforce shortage. As Loretto continues to grow – how can I possibly keep up? Part of the answer is HealthTrain. What is HealthTrain? It started with an organization called CenterState Corporation for Economic Opportunity. The individuals at CenterState CEO developed a program […]
In our world today, there is often an “us vs. them” mentality. Leadership vs. staff. Democrat vs. republican. Union vs. non-union. White vs. black. The list goes on. When I first arrived at Loretto, this “us vs. them” mentality was considered the status quo by many. Despite skepticism from colleagues (both in and outside of […]
I’ve been busy over the past few months preparing for a post-conference workshop at the National Health & Well-Being Conference in Boston. My workshop covers a topic that has become a priority for me: addressing the concept of “work-life balance” and helping people achieve overall well-being – for their employees and for themselves. If you’ve […]
I am humbled, grateful and excited to share that I have been selected as a finalist for the “Top Women in Healthcare Awards.” For those of you who aren’t familiar with these awards, they recognize unique contributions and leadership of female healthcare executives across all sectors of the market: hospitals, healthcare systems, physician organizations, pharmaceuticals, […]
Everyone has a story. The challenges I faced in my personal and professional journey led me to my vision for Loretto and the greater Syracuse community. A vision that is embodied in a philosophy I call “pragmatic altruism.” If you’ve read my book you know Lifecircle Leadership’s philosophy: doing good is good business. However, it’s […]
There may be some of you who mistakenly thought my book was called “Lifecycle Leadership” at first glance since that phrase is familiar to many. However, the name “Lifecircle Leadership” is very intentional – so I wanted to dedicate some blog space to explaining the difference between the two, and why I chose lifecircle. Lifecycle […]
It doesn’t matter how close you are to the advice I share in my book and this blog… we all still falter. Many of you know that even as an “expert” on this subject, I still struggle with work-life balance and putting myself first. But it’s not just me. Even the team who is helping […]
Motherhood comes in all different shapes and sizes – and there is no one-size-fits-all solution to being a mom. What works best for some, may not work well for others – that’s just part of the adventure. As we celebrate all moms this time of year, I wanted to write a post specifically for my […]
The pursuit of perfection was always something I knew I had, but I always considered it a strength until Dr. Nick Molinaro, an executive coach, pointed out how it was affecting me. I hope through sharing my story on perfectionism, I may be able to help others who share in my impossible quest for perfection. […]
In many of the topics I cover in Lifecircle Leadership: How Exceptional People Make Everyday Extraordinary, I draw from my experience as President and CEO of Loretto.
