There comes a point in every career where you feel stuck and unmotivated, which may trigger a desire to change direction. Making a career pivot doesn’t mean starting over, but it requires you to repackage your existing skills and apply them to a different role.

Learn from her as she shares about her career pivot and gives tips on how to navigate mid-career transitions.
In this chat, you’ll learn:
Dr. Nadler focuses on healthcare transformation, such as the incorporation of disruptive technology and patient-centered data to drive greater access to high-value care.
