I have yet to meet a professional traveling for a conference—or for any reason that takes them away from the day-to-day—that doesn’t experience some level of stress. Next week, I have a bank board and committee meetings, then pivot at the end of the week for a National Academy of Medicine committee meeting, among other priorities. I’ve had to focus because so much of my work is tied to other leaders—I need to review and sign off on work products that impact the larger organization. I am grateful to my team, and I am grateful that I have a disciplined mind to prioritize what is important.
