More often than not, as we get sort of blinded by flashy opportunities and shiny objects, we fail to allow ourselves to have that time and space to rethink our career steps.
Watch our conversation on YouTube!
My guest today, John McKendry and I met through a gig we worked on together a couple of years ago, coaching pharmaceutical leaders back in 2020. He has these spaces in his career where he took some time to evaluate what he wanted to do next – and that is the exact reason why I brought him onto the show. Join me as we learn to work and live large with John today!
John McKendry is a senior healthcare executive with over 20 years of experience in the biopharmaceutical, medtech, and healthtech industries. He is passionate about business transformation and lifescience leadership, all while practicing as a healthtech advisor.
John is the President of the KYE Pharmaceuticals, and prior to this was CEO of a global growth stage medical supplies company, having deep knowledge of the pharma industry. For the past two years, he’s been providing independent advisory on assisting the growth and commercial development of early stage healthtech startups in Southeast Asia.
In this conversation, you’ll hear John and I discuss:
- His experience in roles which had really high attrition rates
- How he turned that around through his time by building culture
- What inspired the decision of his family to leave their home in Canada to work internationally
- The importance of giving yourself the space to really think about what drives you and what you value, and how you can incorporate and leverage that into your next career steps
- Why he calls himself a frustrated optimist, and the beauty of being one
I'd love to see you in California in Feb 2023!
