Dr. Sara Waltz cared for animals as veterinarian before becoming Area Medical Director for a network of veterinary hospitals. She now works as a Director of Learning and Development for Petfolk, a growing veterinary practice with multiple locations in North Carolina, balancing that role with her responsibilities as a wife and the mom of two toddlers while also working with her husband to care for their small farm and 40 animals.
Sara has great stories and insights to share about tackling the challenges of vet school (and occasionally tackling cows), the relationship between managing time and managing change, and creating the right balance in her career and her family life. She also talks about the importance of understanding ourselves and our own unique abilities—and those of people we lead—in order to create a path to success.

How do students learn how to study? When students are given homework, are they taught how to do it? They might be taught how to solve the math problems or write an essay that's been assigned, but are they taught how to plan and organize their work so that they can actually complete the assignments on time and learn from them?
As a high school and elementary school science teacher, Lauren Greene was willing to bend rules—or even break them occasionally—to help her students succeed. Listen as she shares her thoughts about time management skills for students, and the challenges that teachers face in helping students learn these skills.

What does it mean to be done? Are we ever done? Do we need to chose between “being in the moment” and “being done?”
In this episode we talk with Amy Knott Parrish about starting and running our own businesses and what that's taught us about patience, taking a long view, and bringing our authentic selves to our work. We talk about having a sense of urgency: how that serves us and how it can hinder us. We also discuss the ways that disappointment and discomfort can be valuable—if we choose to see them that way.

My efforts to schedule a guest for this week did not succeed, so I started to record a short episode to talk about motivation, discipline, and staying committed to goals that are important to us. As I spoke about these ideas, I realized that they connected to something more significant. Like many people, I've felt heartbroken and disheartened by the recent senseless shootings in Buffalo, NY and Uvalde, TX. It's natural to feel a sense of helplessness and hopelessness in the face of these tragedies. In times like these, commitment is even more valuable.
