Expanding Your Surface Area – The Power of Choice and Influence

Expanding Your Surface Area – The Power of Choice and Influence


A Lifetime of Learning and Expansion

Dear Rescue RN Community,

In every facet of life, especially in our professional journeys, the concept of "surface area" plays a pivotal role. This isn’t about physical space but the expanse of our influence, knowledge, and engagement with the world. Each of us has the power to expand this area, not through competition but through choice and active participation.


Understanding Surface Area in Personal Growth

The term "surface area" might seem abstract, but its effects are incredibly tangible.

It’s about how much impact you can make, how many lives you touch, and how much you allow yourself to grow and evolve.

I’ve always advocated for lifelong learning, believing that no one is inherently above or below anyone else—our differences lie in the surface area we choose to cover.

Expanding Your Surface Area

How do we increase our surface area? It’s simpler than you might think:

  • Learn Continuously: Knowledge is boundless. Every piece of new information or skill you acquire expands your ability to influence and contribute.
  • Love Generously: Passion and compassion open doors and build bridges. Loving what you do and doing what you love is key to meaningful engagement.
  • Share Freely: The more you give, the more you receive. Sharing knowledge, time, or resources helps others and enhances your experience and understanding.
  • Go Boldly: Step out of your comfort zone. New experiences and challenges are fantastic opportunities to grow.
  • Be and Do: Active participation in your own life and the lives of others around you is essential. Be present and proactive.

The Infinite Opportunity of Life

Our time here is limited, but the possibilities are not. Every interaction, every challenge, and every moment of joy is a chance to extend the boundaries of your influence. In choosing how and where to expand your surface area, you shape your path and touch the lives of others around you.

Embracing a Limitless Mindset

Reject the idea of vertical hierarchies that constrain. Instead, envision a world where we all expand outward, covering more ground together, supporting each other’s growth, and collectively enhancing our capabilities.


A Call to Expand

As we continue to navigate the complexities of healthcare and life, remember that you have the agency to choose the surface area you wish to occupy. Let’s embrace learning, love, sharing, and action as tools for personal growth and influencing the broader world.

Thank you for being an integral part of this expansive journey. Together, let’s cover more ground than ever before.

Warm regards,

Susan B. Davis DNP

Here’s to a future where we continuously expand, influence, and positively impact the world together.

Unplanned I pulled over into a healthcare business to pop in and learn more about their operations and their leadership. Spoke to the office manager and learned about him and his role there. It was a genuine conversation! Few days later I get a voicemail from him apologizing, but wanted in the most kind way to point out a typo on one of my materials. He knew that my company was new and wanted me to know right away so I was able to correct it, without too many people seeing it. The fact that he took the time to tactfully make me aware let me know that our interaction was meaningful and real!
