In this episode of The Health Mind Shift, host Roberta speaks with Maria Merola, coach, former life science consultant, and doctor in industrial engineering. With years of experience advising pharma leaders, Maria now helps healthcare executives navigate today’s paradoxical reality: extraordinary innovation alongside restructuring, burnout, and system breakdowns.
We discuss:
- Why traditional leadership models no longer fit in healthcare
- How to move from “resilience” to “bouncing forward”
- The AAA framework (Awareness, Acceptance, Action) for leaders
- Challenges and opportunities for women over 50 in senior roles
- The power of authenticity and community in creating the future of leadership
It’s a conversation about clarity, courage, and leading with purpose, especially in times of uncertainty.
