Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

44. How mentorship grows to leadership
Q: How does this leadership work translate into improved care for children?
By training leaders who can implement small, scalable changes and progressively build robust programs, which reduces suffering, expands access, and sustains change.
44. How mentorship grows to leadership
Q: What leadership skills are most essential in this field?
A balance of hard and soft skills: strategic navigation of systems, clear communication, coalition-building, budgeting, and the ability to listen deeply to diverse stakeholders.
44. How mentorship grows to leadership
Q: What brought you into supporting this leadership work?
Participants cite a mix of personal calling, recognition of leadership gaps, and the opportunity to scale impact through structured programs and coalitions.
40. Beyond the needle-from adult to children's palliative care
Q: What was your leadership project about and how did leadership skills help you complete it successfully?
The project started with a broad aim to reduce pain and distress for children undergoing cancer treatment. It was refined into a focused effort on managing procedural pain using structured principles, aligning with a Global Comfort Promise model, and gaining buy-in from administration, oncology teams, and families, ultimately resulting in a hospital-wide pain policy initiation.
40. Beyond the needle-from adult to children's palliative care
Q: So how did the shift from adult palliative care to pediatric palliative care happen, and do you still practice both?
The shift began during residency, where working with children revealed a natural affinity and the joy of connecting with families. I now split time across adult and pediatric care, leveraging the strengths of each to support children from diagnosis through treatment, with a stronger emphasis on pediatrics at present.
