Leadership can feel incredibly lonely at times, especially in healthcare where the stakes are so high - I've felt it myself, and I know many of you have too.

In this episode, I share why that isolation doesn't have to be the norm, and how building your own "personal boardroom" - a handpicked group of mentors, challengers, advocates, and connectors - can change everything. We explore how this approach has transformed my career, and why it's the secret weapon for any leader looking to amplify their impact without burning out.

What You'll Discover

- Myth of Lonely Leadership: Why the idea that top leaders must go it alone is outdated and how a personal boardroom flips that script for real support and growth.

- Building Your Board: Practical steps to curate people who mentor, challenge, advocate, and connect - turning isolation into a network that fuels your best work.

- Amplifying Your Impact: How this intentional circle doesn't just advance your career; it helps you create better patient care, stronger teams, and lasting change in healthcare.

This episode is my nudge to every healthcare leader feeling the weight: you don't have to carry it solo. Build your boardroom, nurture those relationships, and watch how far you can go together. If it sparks an idea for your own circle, start with one conversation this week – I'd love to hear how it goes.
