Milestones & Meaning: Lessons from 50 Conversations on Leadership
Purpose, persistence, and adaptability—the non-negotiables in healthcare leadership
Summary
Behind every episode of The Leadership Lounge is a deeper reason for showing up. Hitting the 50-episode mark felt like the right time to pause and reflect—not just on the podcast, but on this leadership thing. Every leadership journey starts somewhere—but what keeps it going? In this episode, I share three key reflections that have shaped both the podcast and my leadership: getting clear on your why, showing up with persistence (especially on the tough days), and staying adaptable as things around you change.
These aren’t just podcasting lessons—they’re leadership ones. I also revisit the foundation of what we talk about each week: supporting personal leadership growth, building strong and connected teams, and making healthcare work better through operational excellence. Whether you're leading in complexity, starting to find your feet, or recalibrating your role—this conversation is for you.
