Treasury in the Healthcare Industry with Cathy McGarry

I think I'd recommend that they work with their manager to create a career development plan. And I think that's important because it helps them identify their skills, their strengths and weaknesses, but it also helps them map out their next steps, set their goals along their journey. But I think it's also important for you to work together with them to find a mentor within the company or someone they can meet one on one where they have the areas of interest. Like if they want to learn more about data science or about technology or about marketing or about digital items. It just gives them a chance to actually explore and learn from others. And I just think it's important, as you continue your career path to have good mentors. I think it's important to have mentors, but I think it's also really important to have executive sponsors. So when I think of mentors, I always think executive sponsors just because if I didn't have my executive sponsors, I wouldn't be able to lead successful projects that impact our organizational goals. But I think it's also important to have mentors because those are the ones that you can work with to help develop and grow your skills. Those are the ones that I've had in my career. That said, five years ago, Kathy, why don't you go back and get your mba? Why don't you do this? They're always encouraging you to invest in yourself and go outside your comfort zone. I do have a lot on my plate. I think it's important to focus what is actually important in your life. You know, time management is key, but you have to have a good network of people that encourage you, support you and they want you to be successful. You know, it could be your staff and your boss at work, it could be at home, it could be your social network, but you also have to have a good work life balance. My goal this year was to focus on self care. You know, schedule time for yourself to recharge and enjoy life.
