Going into public health consulting can be challenging, but developing the right skills can make a whole lot of difference. Here are three key skills every young professional should focus on to thrive in this field: 1. Adaptability In public health, things change quickly. For example, imagine you’re working on a project about a new health campaign, and suddenly there’s an outbreak of a disease. You need to shift your focus fast. Being adaptable means you can adjust your plans and respond to new challenges without feeling overwhelmed. It’s all about staying flexible and ready to embrace change. So, practice being open-minded and ready to learn new things, whether it’s a new tool or a different approach. 2. Effective Communication In consulting, you often have to explain complex ideas to people who might not have a background in health. For instance, if you’re presenting findings from a community health survey, it’s essential to break it down in simple terms. Instead of saying, “We saw a significant increase in obesity rates,” you could say, “More people in the community are struggling with weight issues.” This makes it easier for everyone to understand. Work on both your writing and speaking skills to clearly share your ideas and connect with your audience. 3. Critical thinking and problem-solving. As a public health consultant, you’ll face complex issues that require thoughtful analysis and innovative solutions. This skill involves looking at problems from different angles and finding creative solutions. Take time to practice this by tackling real-world issues or case studies to strengthen your thinking process. By focusing on these three skills, you’ll position yourself for success in public health consulting and make a meaningful difference in the communities you serve. They will not only help you succeed but also allow you to make a real impact in the lives of others.

✨ From Childhood Dreams to Healthcare Leadership: Building a Healthier Future for All✨ As a child, I told my mother something that, though I don’t recall, she has never forgotten: “Mummy, I want to be a doctor so I can grow up, come home, and build hospitals for people who can’t afford them.” While that childhood moment is a blur, the seed of medicine took deep root in my heart. Along the way, I’ve made mistakes, faced setbacks, and navigated uncertainties. Yet, my passion to contribute to healthcare has only grown stronger. That little girl's dream didn’t fade—it evolved. Today, my driving force is to help build a resilient health system in my country. My vision is to foster cross-sector collaboration, empower healthcare professionals, harness the power of technology, and promote strategic leadership to achieve equitable, quality healthcare that’s accessible, acceptable, and affordable to all—whether in bustling cities or remote hamlets. John Maxwell once said, “Everything rises and falls on leadership.” I am committed to growing my personal leadership and refining the skills needed to become a transformative healthcare leader and manager. What about you? What drives you in your career? Reflecting on this can bring clarity and help you stay focused on what truly matters in your journey. #theALXEffect #FoundMyPlace #ALX9jaCommunity #PhysicianLeader #HealthcareLeadership

4 questions in your public health journey (mine too)! 1. What is public health? - Realizing that public health is not medicine or nursing - Understanding that there are health careers outside of clinicians - Realizing that there are tons of health focused careers in public health 2. What can I do in public health? - Learning about all you can do in public health (with a public health skillset) - Realizing that public health is seen in government, nonprofit, private industry, health care, and so many industries - Getting clarity on which skillsets you want to develop and how that plays into your future roles 3. What do I want to do in public health? - Realizing that you have to get specific in your future public health path - The learning process through informational interviews, listening to Public Health Careers podcast (https://lnkd.in/giuKxp3K), and other research - Finding what you like through experience and finding what you don't like 4. Am I actually making an impact? [added by Marissa McKool, MPH] - Sometimes hard to see the impact working in prevention - Being removed from individuals and communities can make it seem less impactful - YES, you are making a HUGE impact even when you don't see it. These are the 4 questions that form everyone's public health career. And your journey is one of learning to discover these answers.

 Reflecting on My Journey in Global Public Health & Development Working in Public health and Development has been more than just a career for me—it's been a journey of growth, learning, and transformation. As I look back, I’m reminded of the powerful lessons that have shaped my path: 1. Listening to Communities: The real experts are the people we serve. Understanding their needs, fears, and hopes has been the cornerstone of effective interventions. 2. Embracing Change: In a constantly evolving field, adaptability has been key. Whether facing new development and health crises or integrating the latest research, being flexible has allowed me to stay ahead of the curve. 3. Power in Collaboration: Some of the most impactful solutions I’ve seen come from working together—across disciplines, sectors, and borders. The collective effort truly makes a difference. 4. Data with Heart: While data drives decisions, the stories behind the numbers keep me grounded. Balancing evidence with empathy ensures that our interventions reach people and resonate with them. 5. The Marathon Mindset: Improving health outcomes and livelihoods isn’t about quick wins. It’s about the long haul—the patience and persistence to see initiatives through and celebrate every small victory. 6. Self-Care Matters: This journey has also taught me the importance of looking after my own well-being. After all, we can’t pour from an empty cup. I recognize that this has not been a journey one can walk alone. Global Public Health, with a development perspective, is built on collaboration, trust, and respect for communities. My journey has been profoundly shaped by the incredible people I’ve had the privilege to meet and work with. I’m deeply grateful to everyone who has walked this path with me, sharing their wisdom, passion, and support. Our collective efforts continue to drive meaningful change in global public health and development. # Global Health #Development #PublicHealth #Leadership #CommunityHealth #Growth #Collaboration #Empathy #Adaptability
