I guess by now, many of you know that I spend a considerable chunk of my time waltzing on the periphery of healthcare as a career coach, resume writer and LinkedIn strategist for healthcare C-suite and physician executives. I’m fortunate to engage some amazing people – smart, committed, high-integrity, and dedicated to trying to make… Continue reading How Prepared Are You For The Emerging Healthcare Crisis?

Where Do You Go With Your Wisdom? Don’t Waste It On An 88-year Old Retirement Model.
Image by Georgi Dyulgerov from Pixabay Shouldn’t we, as “modern elders” be marrying our wisdom to others, somehow, someway? We’ve piled up 30, 40, 50 years of it. Where does it make sense to hoard it, warehouse it, let it go stale? OK, so you don’t feel like you are wise. Wrong, dear friend! You have your own… Continue reading Where Do You Go With Your Wisdom? Don’t Waste It On An 88-year Old Retirement Model.
What Happens When Our Doctors Don’t Like Or Trust Our Healthcare System? Positive Change May Be Coming!
I’m going to step aside and let someone else take center on my little stage this week. An article appeared in my daily Medium.com feed this week on a topic I’ve riffed on repeatedly across the near six-year life of this blog: Our hosed-up medical system. Published in the Nuance publication and written by veteran… Continue reading What Happens When Our Doctors Don’t Like Or Trust Our Healthcare System? Positive Change May Be Coming!
How does one work 40 hours a week, have time to cook healthy meals, sleep 8 hours a night, and go to the gym?
Photo by Julien L on Unsplash I suspect most of the advice you will get on this will say better “time management.” At the risk of sounding insulting, let me remind you that we can’t “manage time.” Time is fixed, immutable and unchanging. It manages itself and we can’t change what exists for us to function within. You can’t change that… Continue reading How does one work 40 hours a week, have time to cook healthy meals, sleep 8 hours a night, and go to the gym?

Image by Pete Linforth from Pixabay Raise your hand if you have found life to flow smoothly, without unexpected twists or turns. Crickets!

The Truth About Diets – They Are As Sensible As Lottery Tickets!
Raise your hand if you know someone who has gone on a diet at some point in their life (Yes, you can include yourself – I won’t tell anybody). Hmmm! Most everybody. Thanks for participating. Now, leave your hand up if that/those individual(s) stayed with it and adopted a change in their way of life.… Continue reading The Truth About Diets – They Are As Sensible As Lottery Tickets!
We Stopped Listening to the Ancient Greeks. It’s Costing Us.
I’m still working at 81. I blew right past that obligatory “65” retirement stop sign. I don’t remember seeing it. Some say I’m nuts, not realizing that’s the best compliment you can pay an oddball like me. I still get asked why I haven’t retired by those in my age cohort. There is a steady… Continue reading We Stopped Listening to the Ancient Greeks. It’s Costing Us.
FOGO vs LOGO – A Formula for Aging With Purpose
Image by Gerd Altmann from Pixabay A month ago, I wrote about a new acronym that has emerged regarding aging: FOGO – Fear of Growing Old. Allow me to quote myself from the article: “FOGO is rooted in time travel. By that I mean, traveling to and wallowing in the regrets and guilt of the past or casting… Continue reading FOGO vs LOGO – A Formula for Aging With Purpose
Do you think you are ageing gracefully or is there some work to be done?
Image by G John from Pixabay I had to stop and think about this question. What does “gracefully” mean? My dictionary doesn’t have it except as an adverb of grace. Under grace, we find words like charm, attractiveness, beauty, and ease of movement. I’ve been on the planet longer than most, having entered my 9th decade (for you… Continue reading Do you think you are ageing gracefully or is there some work to be done?
Can You Start Life Over at 60? It May Be the Best Time!
It’s a question that gets asked a lot, especially by men since we’re the ones that inflict ourselves with the pressure to “perform.” I wrestled with this question at that age two decades ago. My simple answer is “yes” – but – – – – – – – you may want to consider “pivoting” rather… Continue reading Can You Start Life Over at 60? It May Be the Best Time!
