🌟 Success Coach 🌟 Guiding women to succeed in work, life and relationships through the transformative power of coaching. Let’s rewrite your success story🌟 ✨
Last year, I was offered a job even after disclosing a stage IV cancer diagnosis. Highlighting the very best of workplace acceptance and culture.
But today, my husband unexpectedly had a job offer rescinded after letting the company know he may need 2 days off, a month after starting to help me recover from a possible minor surgery.
We’re both software engineers and both companies are in the healthcare space. The response he received highlights the discrimination that not only many patients face but also their caregivers.
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disheartened and frustrated by their response. When faced with the choice, be company A not company B.
We’ve faced bigger hurdles and come out on top, so on we go.
In other news, if anyone is looking to hire a talented software engineer w/experience in healthcare. I know a guy 😉
Here’s a photo of us on my birthday this year. We celebrated with a hackathon building tools/apps for cancer patients. Yes, that was my actual birthday request. Things get real nerdy around here.

A busy life is not a symbol of status. It's a symptom of trying to do too much for too many people.
A full calendar brings a surplus of stress and a shortage of energy. Reflecting and relaxing should be top priorities.
Unscheduled time isn't wasted. It's invested in well-being.
We should have the same drive in “creating psychological safety” as we do with “freedom to speak up” - without the right culture & safety parameters people are not able to speak up
Copy this and send it to your MP, show your partner, neighbour, re-Tweet it give it to the shops in the high street to put in the window and display it in GP surgeries and A&E… this is why the NHS is choc-a-bloc

A few important words. Trust. Culture. Compassion. Collaborate. Each require ling term intentional ways of being to meet the needs of all our teams. @NHST_OD
To meet the challenges we face, we must increasingly develop belonging and trust and create team and organizational cultures of compassion. Humans make up teams and organizations and we must come to see ourselves as more collaborative and compassionate to shape a hopeful future .
