If you are a manager, your job is to create cohesiveness in your team. Not divide it with gossip. It shows more of the manager’s immaturity, insecurity, and lack of readiness for managerial leadership. #truestorybyemail July 27 at 7:59pm
It takes a very special person to wade through and edit a book-length manuscript. Apparently, I am not that person, even when (especially because?) it’s my own book. I salute all book copy-editors! July 26 at 3:06pm
I watched Shadya’s story on independent lens (PBS) last night and all I could think of was, “I am SO lucky to be living here in the U.S.”! July 26 at 1:12pm
Proof-reading my pharma leadership book manuscript. New neighbors moving into ($1.1M) million dollar home across the street. Snoop Dog playing on iTunes. Sipping coffee sweetened with agave. I am feeling very Californian right now. July 25 at 2:13pm
Once carelessness ruins my trust in someone’s friendship, it may take that person a very long time to regain it. What about you? Are you quick to forgive being taken for granted July 23 at 7:54am

2 coworkers having an honest discussion about obvious tension or misunderstanding between them. THIS is how you kill gossip and toxic workplaces; being courageous enough to talk about an uncomfortable situation! #in-starbucks-again July 20 at 9:14am
Heat wave here in Southern California. Let me give you perspective. It went from the comforting warmth of a newborn’s neck to how it feesl to stick your head in a preheated oven. At least we aren’t yet at heat index of “post-workout armpits of unsavory coworker”. July 15 at 12:20pm
Now in Starbucks across Harbor UCLA med center. docs behind me talking too loudly. Good to know med students these days graduate with $250,000 in debt. SB needs to turn down music volume because it is making people talk louder than otherwise! July 15 at 9:28am
Back in Starbucks again and OMG people, please stop talking about real estate and renters! At least, not so loudly. You guys aren’t even sitting that far away from each other – use your indoor voice! July 14 at 4:09pm
Until I moved to Califonria, I had never seen commercials for “bail bonds”. Seriously, are THAT many people getting arrested and needing bail here? July 13 at 12:22pm
Today’s Pharma Leadership Book writing stats: 33,703 words written (67.41% of 50,000 words target); 16,297 words to go. Ah… the joy of creating appendices and let the word count rise! July 13 at 11:23am
A friend asked why she bothers. I’ve asked that question for many years and came to the conclusion “because it’s the right thing to do”. if comfort comes only from those who know the loneliness of “walking paths less traveled”, so be it! #courage #leadership July 13 at 7:58am
If everyone’s swimming in the same direction… how wonderful for the shark that comes along and swallows the entire school

Runs 3 levels of business in one fell swoop. Mother to toddler. Author of forthcoming book. And Yes, I see myself as a “real” entrepreneur, no matter how others label me. July 12 at 10:34am
Aiming to finish writing my pharma leadership book 1 month ahead of schedule; taking today to write and setting a goal to produce 10,000 words. July 10 at 10:03am
Thanks to my FB friends who put my “5 Lessons in PhD Career Transition” on slideshare’s facebook hotlist this morning. I’ve been sick this week from a bug I caught from my son, and getting slideshare’s email about “being hot” made my day

Just watched Huell Howser’s “California Gold” program on In-N-Out Burger. Amazing company and philosophy, right down to the details (they still hand-paint all their signs)! My customer loyalty has increased 500% and we are going to In-N-Out for lunch tomorrow! July 4 at 8:27pm
Hubby’s egged me to watch Dances w/ Wolves ever since Avatar, citing similarities. Last nite I finally watched & I kept asking hubby, “when is Toruk Makto going to show?” I think I got my revenge. July 2 at 11:47am
How do you know when you’ve hit the artery of truth? When answers and wisdom gush out! That’s what happened this morning in a career+life strategy session I did with a PharmD professional. I got goosebumps from what was happening, and the look of confirmation and inspiration in her eyes? Priceless. July 1 at 11:12am
