As an administrative leader she has developed rituals to allow her to turn off from work even though work never ends. Listen in to see if these strategies can help you too. 
We discuss both the challenges and the joys as a leader in medicine and how having a mission keeps her on track. She has set out to help at least 10,000 physicians with their billing and coding business needs by making sure they have the right tools and know the right questions to ask.
