You're the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Treat your inner circle like your life's VIP list. Who you let in shapes who you become. It's not just about who's fun at parties. It's about who helps you evolve. Surround yourself with people who: ? See your potential (even when you don't) ? Challenge your thinking (not just agree) ? Show up (even when it's inconvenient) Ditch the energy vampires who: ?? Gossip more than they grow ?? Compete instead of collaborate ?? Criticize without constructive feedback Remember: It's ok to unfollow people in real life. Find people with high emotional intelligence. And who'll help you develop your own. In relationships, it's quality over quantity. Always. Be ruthless with your inner circle. It's not selfish, it's self-preservation. Every day, you're building your tomorrow. The people you choose are your building blocks. Pick the ones that make you stronger. Agree? Repost to share with others ?. And follow Justin Wright for more.

Last week, the Termeer Foundation proudly launched the orientation and educational sessions for our 2024 Class of Fellows, marking the beginning of an enriching year dedicated to enhancing leadership in biotech innovation. Hosted at our Boston office, the week was filled with profound insights and strategic networking, setting the stage for a transformative yearlong journey.? ? Foundation President and Cofounder Belinda Termeer kicked off orientation with a warm welcome and an overview of the foundational elements of the fellowship program. Renowned executive coach Michèle Barnett Berg's (Managing Director of Envisage Consulting) workshop provided Fellows with the opportunity to share their leadership journey and build community amongst the Class. Eva Quinn (Senior Human Resources Business Partner at Higher EQ LLC) provided an overview of HR-related topics that we will dig deeper into throughout the year.? ? The educational sessions that followed were nothing short of inspiring. The depth of the discussions deepened with Jodi Coochise, PhD, ABPP’s (Organizational Psychologist / Executive Coach) insights on 'Identities as a Leader' and Jennifer Jones, SHRM-CP's (DEI Strategist) training on diversity, equity, and inclusion, ensuring our leaders are well-prepared to lead and build teams with awareness. ? The week culminated with a powerful panel discussion moderated by Abbie Celniker (Partner at Third Rock Ventures), featuring leaders like Abraham (Abe) Ceesay (CEO of Rapport Therapeutics), Deborah Dunsire (Former CEO of Lundbeck), and Kate Haviland (CEO of Blueprint Medicines). They shared their experiences and strategies for navigating leadership as their companies grew and scaled, offering practical advice on maintaining adaptability, transparency, and a strong company culture through various stages of organizational development. ? This opening week has set a high bar for the rest of the year, and we are excited to see how our Fellows grow and innovate within this supportive and dynamic community. #leadership?#STEM?#TermeerFoundation?#HealthcareInnovation?#RareDisease?#Biotech?#PatientCare?#biotechnology?#lifescience?#peopleempoweringcures?#connectionsempoweringcures?#leadershipmatters?#healthcare?#mentorship?#science?#mentor?#leader?#ceo?#lifescience?#bio?#TermeerFellows?#womeninbiotech

Grace We Extend Do me a favor: Take a moment and think back to the last time you saw someone fail publicly. A dance recital gone awry, someone playing the wrong note on a piano, a kid missing the last-second shot at a basketball game. Now remember how you felt about that person. Were you super-critical? Did you think, “Gosh, what a loser”? Or did you applaud them for trying? Now I want you to imagine the last time you failed publicly. How did you feel about yourself? Isn't it interesting that when others fail, we call them brave; but when we fail, we beat ourselves up for the very same behavior? Something about this needs to change. Hint: It’s not the part about how forgiving we are of others’ failures.
