Ascending Davos by Meghan Fitzgerald
YOUR HEALTH IS YOUR WEALTH Trudging through the icy, mountain streets of Davos, Switzerland, at the World Economic Forum, Meghan FitzGerald realized this moment—among a select few experiences—was symbolic of a heavy climb to the top of an enduring healthcare career—but at what cost? Looking back, she realized she had put a premium on education, connections, and compensation ... and would only later learn the important value that personal health should have in life choices and work benefits. In ASCENDING DAVOS: A CAREER JOURNEY FROM THE EMERGENCY ROOM TO THE BOARDROOM, Meg shares valuable insights learned from her novel study about the impact of increased status on one’s personal health and during her ascent from caregiving roles to healthcare strategist to academic to dealmaker, including: • Be overprepared and have “content and connections.” • Have a long-term strategy but short-term goals. • Develop and deploy star sponsors to pull you up and beyond. • Maniacally cultivate and promote your brand. • Education and training, particularly in finance, are great equalizers. • Health is your wealth. Through it all, Meg retained a “Get Shit Done” (GSD) mindset: wake up, show up, and perform at your best, no matter the task."The breadth of Meghan FitzGerald's experience in healthcare and her preference for disruptive honesty makes this book a must read for aspiring and current healthcare leaders" —SENATOR J. ROBERT KERREY Governor of Nebraska (1983-1987) and US Senator (1989-2001); Lead Director, Tenet Healthcare; Managing Director, Allen & Company
"Meghan FitzGerald's personal narrative through American healthcare's corporate corridors--with her occasional yet inevitable stumbles and struggles--provides valuable insight into what it takes to rise above the madding crowd. At the same time she peppers her story with generous and helpful advice to other ambitious leaders planning their ascent up the corporate ladder." —PETER ARNO Senior Fellow and Director of Health Policy Research at the Political Economy Research Institute at UMass-Amherst; Author of Against the Odds: The Story of AIDS Drug Development, Politics and Profits, nominated for Pulitzer Prize
