Steak or Seafood I was at a dinner during the APhA annual meeting and on this particular night, we were at a seafood restaurant. As a reminder, I am a farm kid who became a pharmacist. I grew up on beef, not seafood. As I looked at the menu, I didn’t have a good appreciation for many of the entrees. I asked my colleague, Mike, what he was going to have. He responded and asked me what I was thinking about. I said I was looking at a steak. After all, most seafood restaurants have something on the menu for those interested in something other than fish. Mike scoffed at my idea and gave me this advice: Never order steak at a seafood restaurant. I ignored his counsel and would go on to have one of the worst steaks in my life! It was not good at all. So, I learned my lesson that day. But the lesson goes beyond the menu offerings at restaurants. It applies much more broadly. It applies to who you learn from. You wouldn’t take scuba diving lessons from a sky diver. We live in a world of many voices. And many of the voices can be quite loud! But just because they are loud does mean they are wise. Who you learn from matters. It matters greatly. Be sure to learn from people who have traveled the roads you are traveling. #forpharmacy #forpharmacists #pharmacists #pharmacyleadership #leadwell #EveryoneDeservesToBeLedWell

The age-old debate: To specialize or to be a jack-of-all-trades? Diving deep into one area can make you the go-to guru, while a wide knowledge base opens up a universe of opportunities. But beware, stretching too thin can lead to feeling like a perpetual novice and burnout. Finding that sweet spot between breadth and depth is key. It's like being a gourmet chef who specializes in Italian cuisine but still knows how to whip up a mean sushi roll when the occasion calls for it. So, practice focused learning. Pick your main dish but don’t shy away from sampling the buffet. This way, you can savor the richness of tech without biting off more than you can chew. #FocusedLearning #DevLife #TechGourmet

National Hotdog Month: Celebrating Arizona Diamondbacks Unique Creations. 🆕 Instead of only offering classic 🌭hotdogs, they offer two unique dogs: the 🌵XL Sonora hotdog and the 🍩 Wold Famous Churro dog topped with 🍨 ice cream are perfect examples of thinking outside the box. As a Phoenix resident, I can vouch for these creative and refreshing choices, especially in our hot 🥵 climate. 🎦 Seeing this video clip reminds 🤔 me how important it is to be creative when solving business problems. One example that comes to mind is when faced with the need to document the customers needs during the sales process, I created a Needs Analysis document for team members to use and housed it in a central location. 🧑🧑🧒🧒 This was not only helpful for me, but also for implementation team members who were responsible for installing and configuring the software solution. Just like the Diamondbacks with their standout 🌵🍩 hotdogs, I believe in 👩🏻🎨creativity to achieve success, and in this case, effective documentation. 📄 What your creative hotdog story?
