#COVID19 has disproportionately affected careers of women in healthcare and science.
As I reflect on my own experience at work as a woman, a physician, and a leader, here are some things that make a big difference, to me and to the teams I lead:
➡️ Flexibility on when, where, and how we work

Would my accomplishments and work matter? Or be nothing...
I had, after all, pretty much achieved all the "important" things.

They said:

🙁 Work is more demanding without the same feeling of satisfaction
😕 I feel replaceable. Expendable.
🙁 Need better life-work balance. Have been...
