I keep getting asked how to work together on the Pharmacy Podcast. I’m focused on career development, so I put together a slideshare on a few of the ‘buckets’ of work I’m doing this year and in 2016 to help those discern if we can work together. Enjoy!
1. I don’t like most eNewsletters, but I dig this one by Jocelyn Glei.
2. I like her article on What else? too. I suffer from What-else-itis. However, as a counter argument and futurist, I think it’s important to keep an eye on the future.
3. Picking out my swag for #SMDames17.
4. This ad from Whiskas.
5. The case for being a little underemployed. Seriously – the 40 hour work week needs to go the way of the Dodo.
6. Best. Birthday cake. Ever. Thanks mom! (And no, she wasn’t drinking when she…er….’decorated’ it.)
It was fun to be on the OTHER side of the interview table – my sincere thanks to Josh Scarver of #DoWhatYouDesire, for having the tables turned and I became the interviewee!
My hope and wish for all my fab 13 this week: to do your why. Do something around why you’re here. Help the universe…we’re waiting for you to share your superpowers!
This is about to be a long post, but I wanted to put, in one place, all the 2016 & 2017 Pharmacy Podcast Shows for the fab 13, AND for your listening pleasure! And I moved it up, since it was starting to get buried in the blog.
If you’re a pharmacist or leader in healthcare, IT, pharmacy practice and/or elsewhere, the following episodes will be of benefit to you. And to all the guests during the year on the podcast, a SINCERE THANKS for helping us reach over 63,000 listeners and for sharing the pharmacy healthcare love!

EXCITED! Today is the day the first ever students on planet Earth will be receiving the first of its kind, the Waverly Water Stewardship Badge tonight at the Brownie troop for Hamilton County Indiana! Thanks to Tammy, the Troop Leader and Kristin, supermom and epiphany gal around the water stewardship concepts this year for the Brownie troop.
Here’s some ideas if YOU want to be a water steward of planet Earth and earn the Waverly badge:
1. Get a group together – maybe it’s Girl Scouts, a church youth group, Boy Scouts, a meet up – whatever.
2. Read the story of Waverly and the STEM Princesses, here.
3. If you want to focus on water, here are some ideas for your group to explore during the year:
-Visit an actual wastewater treatment plant. See what we actually do to our water, and how the treatment plants recycle it.
-Visit your water public utility and understand water tables/water sheds in your area, and how water moves throughout your state. It’s actually fascinating, and I learned a lot when I visited Citizens Water in Indianapolis. There are people who do what Waverly does each and every day in your own water utility as water stewardship super heroines and heroes!
-Clean up a natural area that has water–and/or organize a bigger group to volunteer and clean up an area with water. Maybe you can work on a park with a stream, river, or pond. Trash around any naturally occurring water can pollute it, so it’s important to keep natural water NATURAL!
Other ideas:
Project Wet
Sustainability Projects on Pinterest or here on Pinterest
See if your state has a water stewardship program for kids, like Michigan or California.
Learn about a body of water near you – in Indiana’s case, Lake Michigan.
The Hamilton County Indiana Brownie troop did projects around water throughout the year.
4. At the end, share what you learned along the way with others.
5. Grab your badge. The only place you can get Waverly is right here. If you have a whole posse of peeps to buy for, feel free to reach out to my peeps and we can work out a bulk discount.
6. Most of all, share what you did – inspire others to make sure our water stays clean.
And to the Hamilton County Brownies – CONGRATULATIONS for your accomplishment, and wear Waverly with pride – she’s excited to be part of your uniform!
I often get asked about the pharmacist and law/attorney career dynamic duo….so I wanted to put all the stuff I refer peeps to in one post again. Here we go!

My last graduation – from law school.
Dear Class of 2017,
I wrote this post over at LinkedIn this weekend, as graduation and commencement season begins.
Here are a few other bonus pieces of advice for the class of 2017:
1. Try not to be high maintenance – As you move your way into the world of work, try not to be high maintenance. Don’t demand the corner office just yet instead of the cubicle – you’ve got a few years of work to earn it before you can ask for it. It’s OK to challenge your elders (in tenure) at work, but you should also respect them too. They can also teach you a thing or two about the School of Hard Knocks. The last thing you want to be branded early in your career is high maintenance. Focus on hard work, learning, and stretching yourself instead of demanding European Lager and Carmex in your dressing room.
2. Go out of your way to be old-fashioned. I’m not talking about the drink, or go hipster. I’m instead suggesting that you be old-fashioned with your gratitude. Write people thank you notes. By hand. With a pen or pencil. The old fashioned way. Put them in the snail mail. With a stamp. The old-fashioned way. Make sure you try to distinguish and establish your very own old-fashioned brand of gratitude for those who take time to meet with you and help you along the way. People are busy, and the universe owes you nothing. So, when people stop and help you, celebrate that.
3. Read. Again, this may sound a lot like #2 above, but you really need to read those old fashioned things called books. Get a library card – you don’t need to buy every book off of Amazon and go broke either while furthering your education. Read everything you can get your hands on too. Read trashy novels if you like – but just keep reading! A great imagination can be your best friend over time and serve you well.
