Last year I had a unique opportunity to pass the baton to an amazingly gifted class of about ~300 doctors of pharmacy embarking on a career in the pharmaceutical industry and address the generational gap and evolution of leadership over the 15 year period after my graduation from the same program. Here is some raw footage that is full of incredibly candid life stories of successes, failures, and lessons learned from my keynote speech at the 2019 Rutgers School of Pharmacy Institute of Pharmaceutical Industry Fellowships. There were some audio quality and slide issues for which I ask for your forgiveness. However, make sure to pay attention to many of the Alloutcoach Academy perspectives on the following topics:

Medical Science Liaison role, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), Communication Tips, Conflict Management, Company Culture, Authenticity, Social Media Influencers, Leadership Cycle, Coaching, Mentorship, and Next generation leadership.

It is so tempting and so gratifying to hear we are great at something that we often prefer a false YES to a true NO we receive from others. And it is exactly this common and natural preference we have to aim for "YES" in people's responses to us that is what keeps us from maximizing our potential and reaching the next level in life. In my latest @Alloutcoach podcast episode, I sit down with Steve Herz, owner of IF Talent Management, now merged with Montag Talent Management Agency, which has represented some of the top celebrities, renowned leaders in the sports, entertainment, and broadcasting industries to discuss the premise behind why he wrote the book "Don't Take YES for an Answer" and its most critical life lessons. Steve shares some surprisingly profound and refreshing insights on self development, success, and the power of feedback. In this book, he tells some vivid, real-world stories of celebrities, coaches such as Tom Coughlin, broadcasters, physicians, personal friends, family members or colleagues that will inspire you to explore and maximize your potential farther through the feedback you search and receive from formal or informal mentors, as well as through the observations of others you learn to master. Throughout our conversation we talk about the systemic trends and reasons why we hear YES much more often at work, we talk about healthcare quality, the differences between medical care and the communication of medical care, the patient physician relationship, sports, NFL football, NY Giants, Tiki Barber, law school, education, teaching profession, energy management, and build upon mentorship and self awareness.
