Episode 9: The Amy Page Debrief – Mastering the Leadership Pillar

"Leadership isn’t a title you’re given; it’s a space you claim."

Following our deep dive with the powerhouse Amy Page, hosts Carlene McMaugh and Sara Murdock return to the microphones to unpack the "Executive Blueprint." In this recap, we move beyond the dispensary to explore what it actually takes for women in pharmacy to lead multidisciplinary teams and influence at the highest levels.

If Part 1 and 2 with Amy were the "lectures," this debrief is the "workshop." Sara and Carlene break down the specific leadership shifts required to move from being a clinical expert to an influential visionary.

What we’re unpacking in this recap:

* The Seat at the Table: Analyzing Amy’s strategy for advocating for pharmacy's value in executive rooms. How can you start advocating for yourself today?

* Sponsorship vs. Mentorship: Why having a mentor isn't enough anymore. We discuss how to find—and become—a sponsor who opens doors for other women.

* The "Unpopular" Side of Leadership: Reflecting on Amy’s views on industry development and why we need to challenge the status quo of how leaders are "made" in pharmacy.

* Boundary Setting as a Superpower: How the simple act of saying "no" or setting a career boundary can actually make you a more effective, respected leader.

* Managing the "Mental Load": Practical takeaways on leading a team through burnout while maintaining your own resilience.

This episode is a call to action for every woman in pharmacy who knows she has more to give. It’s time to stop waiting for permission and start writing your own leadership script.
