In this episode of 'Get a Shift On', I speak with Christi Urman about her career journey from healthcare to corporate roles, the challenges faced in the healthcare system, and the importance of adaptability in one's career.
We discuss the impact of COVID-19, lessons learned from cancer research, and the significance of perspective in professional growth. We talk about how early jobs can shape career paths in unexpected ways and conclude with reflections on future aspirations and the importance of work-life balance.
