What will your legacy be? For Betty Boothroyd, it was simple: to help medical professionals affected by war to gain access to skills that will help save lives.

This past weekend, three individuals, including Karim Manji, MPH '03, received the Alumni Award of Merit, the highest honor presented to alum of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Through his work and research, Manji, a pediatrician and neonatologist, has dedicated his career to making the world a safer, healthier, and better place for children, young people, and families. His advice for others: “You have to make the world a better place, and your presence should be felt. And this way, capacity builds.” To learn more about him, and the other Alumni Award of Merit recipients, watch this video titled Pioneering Global Health Solutions: https://lnkd.in/ee4UZr4i. 

Grateful for my dissertation to be selected for the prestigious Thomas Mulkeen Award, at the University of North Florida. The Award is given to the graduate whose doctoral dissertation best exemplifies practice-centered inquiry.

I can’t say this enough — I’m truly privileged to be part of work that matters. Supporting staff and assuring they feel valued, seen, and heard is something I’m deeply passionate about. I believe having someone dedicated to this makes all the difference in fostering a positive and productive work culture. Recently, I shared my thoughts on the importance of this role in a blog post.

12-Step Fellowship Texts and Their Interpretation Today: Wendy Dossett Wendy states the key message that she wants to get more widely known, including in professional and clinical circles, is the ‘diversity and creativity of people who engage with that concept and how they interpret it.’ These people are not just sitting back and accepting a 1930s concept—they are engaging with it, but bringing their own experience and interpretation to it. https://lnkd.in/gajwGSHY

Why Every Mompreneur Needs Arthur Brooks' Wisdom Have you ever felt like you were sprinting through life, juggling roles as #mom, #wife, #entrepreneur—all while your dreams of "having it all" slipped away? I've been there, pushing myself to the brink, thinking success meant relentless hustle at the #expense of my well-being. But there's another way—a path to #building a thriving business, being present for loved ones, and actually enjoying the journey. This transformative mindset comes from an unlikely source: happiness scholar, Arthur Brooks. Why did you really start this business in the first place? It's so easy for us mompreneurs to get bogged down in the daily hustle, #cashflow worries, endless tasks—and lose sight of that deeper #motivation that first ignited our entrepreneurial fire. But when we reconnect with our "why"—the impact we want to make, the #legacy we want to leave our children—we tap into a renewable source of #energy, #creativity, and #resilience. That sense of purpose becomes the fuel to overcome any obstacle. Another eye-opening #truth? We cannot pour from an #emptycup. Brooks drives home the undeniable link between our personal well-being and business #success. He shares so many research-backed #strategies for increasing life satisfaction despite the chaos. From #mindset shifts to daily habits, I learned real ways to experience more joy on this wild ride. Because at our best, us #mompreneurs are unstoppable forces. But if we're running on fumes, we'll quickly burn out. Prioritizing our own happiness isn't just a "nice to have"—it's a business imperative. Prioritize #leadership, #happiness, and #purpose—that's how we finally have it all, and build our own #MoneyStory. #KnowYourNumbers #KnowYourWorth #StrengthtoStrength Harvard's Leadership & Happiness Laboratory
