PHARMACY STRATEGY: Pharmovation Framework

Are you a pharmovator - bringing innovation to Pharmacy practice?

If so, you might connect with the "why" behind the Pharmovation Program Framework.  

Pharmovation is the only implementation program that shows you exactly HOW to:

🚀 accelerate your career
🏥 advocate for resources
🧑‍⚕️ advance pharmacy practice

...All while bringing JOY to your work and improving patient outcomes! 

In designing the Pharmovation Program, I really took time and worked with other leaders and prospective students.

I wanted to confirm the key topics and competencies that pharmacists just like you needed in order to see success.

All topics in the framework are grounded with Innovation and Intrapreneurship competencies, which led to the name Pharmovation.

Here's a visual representation of the Framework:

CAREER DEVELOPMENT: Personal Productivity

Do you feel organized?

I know it's hard to keep up with a never-ending to-do list and competing schedule priorities.

I'd love to share some tools that I've found helpful for consolidating information to improve productivity.

First, I'll give you an opportunity to learn from my mishaps:

🗒️ Using StickyNotes
💻 Issues when presenting my screen on Zoom
🖋️ Taking notes on a printed agenda

These are all things that have a reputation for helping with organization--but I personally found that they created more clutter and confusion. 

Here are some tools that I've found really do help me stay organized and productive:

For To-Do Lists:
✅ Microsoft Planner
✅ Apple List with my husband 

For a Calendar:
✅ Outlook synced on all devices
✅ Outlook includes a family calendar
✅ Color coding

For Notes:
 ✅ One Note - keeps it all electronic


So how about YOU? What experience do you have with the tools above? What are some of your favorite alternatives?

FUN & JOY: Connector Life - Friends & Family

In case you're new to CONNECTOR LIFE™, it means balanced excellence in all areas of life - self, family & friends, career, and community.

The goal is to:

• Assess and plan the areas of your life
• Prioritize and spend time on the right things

This week, our focus is on Friends & Family. These two important areas of are grouped together as important relationships to nourish.

For example, my overall goal for Family this year was improving quality time. My activities to achieve this goal were:

• 2 Vacations/Year
• Bi-weekly Walks with Kids
• Weekly Game Night
• Family Visit to our Home
• Yearly Spouse Weekend
• Monthly Date Night
• Long Term - Family Reunion

In regards to family, you can consider your roles (spouse, parent, child) and make goals for each of these roles.

I also focused on nourishing my friendships. My friend activities included regular calls, visits, moms night out events, and a pool party. 

What are you doing to prioritize your Family & Friends?
