Here’s a list of books I and my fellows read for leadership in IC. How to win friends and influence others. Good to great. Nine minutes on Monday. The emotional energy factor. The gifts of imperfection. Up the mods elevator. What are yours?
Emergency Press Release:
I’ve heard some rumors of my retirement.
My plan is to be FT
@UWMedHeart
until at least July 2024.
Role and responsibilities after that are TBD.
My commitment to all things CTO-PCI & advocating for provider mental health remains strong.
Most of us find work/life balancing difficult, including me and
@esbrilakis

You are not alone, we are all on a journey to better.
My Top 4 Laws of Life:
1. If it ain’t fun, it ain’t fun.
2. If you don’t attempt to conquer, you never will.
3. Chance favors the prepared mind.
4. Always show your superior judgment, so you don’t have to show your superior skills.
Grab a drink and join us tonight.

Candles by their nature are pretty vulnerable. Relatively easy to snuff out w gust of wind, splash of water, or even just carelessness. So it’s even more important to light others to carry the flame, bc you never know when you’ll need to be relit yourself.
