🎙 Episode Overview: In this episode, I'm breaking down an important way to think about your professional experience in healthcare: the deep and wide framework. Through stories of my clients and my own career journey, I explore how understanding your experience makeup can help shape your professional growth and decision-making.

🔑 In This Episode, You'll Learn:

• How I define "deep" experience (like my client who's worked her way up from CNA to educator in one organization) versus "wide" experience (like my client who's tried almost every nursing specialty)
• Why both types of experience bring unique value to healthcare organizations
• How I've balanced deep clinical experience in the ER with wide transdisciplinary experience
• What your experience makeup tells you about your potential growth edges

🧠 Key Ideas to Take With You:

• Most of us don't have purely deep or purely wide experience—it's usually a mix
• Neither type is inherently better—they just offer different advantages
• Understanding your experience makeup can help you identify blind spots
• Your growth edge often lies in moving toward whichever type you have less of

🎧 How to Get the Most Out of This Episode: Take some time to reflect on your own career path and map out where your experience falls on the deep-wide spectrum. Consider how this awareness might influence your next career move.

🛠️ Practical Actions You Can Take:

• Map out your own deep and wide experiences in healthcare
• Identify opportunities in your current role to gain the type of experience you have less of
• Use this framework to enhance how you present yourself in interviews or cover letters
• Consider seeking mentors who have the type of experience you'd like to develop
