  1. It was refreshing for a “futurist thinking” doctor believing in people and their ability to innovate antibiotic stewardship to have examples of “true miracles” in his medical career! I appreciate and respect his commitment to continuously learn and challenge himself as he advances quality and safety in healthcare! What a wonderful Christmas story regarding his son and the young pregnant woman with the brain tumor earlier in this career!

    Create environments for miracles to occur!!! This is some of the work of leaders in coaching and developing others to function with confidence!
