MY FAVORITE DISRUPTIVE CHANGE

“I started to forge my first career by combining music and psych. But at the end of my post-doc, I had many things going on in my life — I was a new mom and my father had just died — I realized that if I was going to spend workdays away from my family, I really had to really love what I was doing. And I just didn’t have the real fire about academics that I had had earlier in my career. So I decided to make a big jump. Back then it was very stressful and difficult, but when I think about it now, that has become my favorite disruptive moment in my professional and personal life.”


MY CURRENT DISRUPTIVE CHALLENGE

“Sifting my perspective about what I, or others, should be doing. I’ve come to realize that there are many ways to get from A to B. And I’ve realized that feeling righteous indignation about how things should be just eats up a ton of bandwidth. It’s much more positive to disrupt that thinking — letting go of how things should be — and instead accept the situation for what it is and just move forward from that.”
