What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute success in my career through mentorship of two female directors that I had the privilege to work with. They were both exceptional leaders in a new hospital, guiding its vision, fostering teamwork, and ensuring high-quality patient care from the start. Their leadership set the standard of excellence, resilience, and innovation throughout the organization. In collaboration with neurologists in the field of medicine, I have been mentored through the field of neuroscience, which has a positively significant impact on patient outcomes.
I additionally attribute my success to Raimonda Jankunaite, of whom is a visibility expert, speaking coach and business mentor and the founder of Women Thrive Media that I had the privilege of being a contributing author for Women Thrive Vol IV. She is inspiring, empowering, and transforming women around the globe to ignite your courage and to step into your power and embrace your authentic voice.
Shell Marie is an Empowerment Coach and Founder and Host of the podcast: Zest to Zen. I have had the honor of being invited on her panel related to the topic -Nervous System Safety and Regulation.
Furthermore, having had a 6-month coaching course with Mel Robbins, including the 5 second rule, I incorporated this into my life and the lives of my clients with great success in building self-confidence and self-trust. Using this science-based tools as this is a meta-cognition tool is easy to implement, and success occurs one decision at a time.
What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
Stay true to who you are and never diminish your value to fit into someone else’s expectations. Furthermore, to live in your authentic power and this, will continue to direct you in your heartfelt passions and purpose.
Pamela emphasizes that confidence and authenticity are essential, especially in environments where women have historically been expected to conform or stay silent. Become unapologetic to who you truly are. To stand side by side in the power of women helps to connect and rise together.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Younger women entering the healthcare arena are such a gift to the industry and to all the clients that they serve. Believing in yourself is powerful and honorable. Your gifts of compassion, dedication, empathy, integrity, are foundational in serving in role of advocacy.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
One of the biggest challenges at present is women's equality in leadership roles and organizational performance costs. Slowly the power of the female voice is becoming more heard with greater force in clarity, authority, expression, and impact. A bridge of strength is starting to develop in cultural transformation and in disruption of silence patterns. In addition to impact, there remains a gap in women's health care that need improvement. This includes cardiovascular care, pain recognition and management, hormonal and lifecycle health, and mental health. Furthermore, women do not just need mental health support-they need care that understands their biology, honors their emotional depth, and restores their sense of self and self-worth.
