VISION

Proverbs 3:5-6 NIV

Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

“Children have always been a source of inspiration, hope, and vision for me.

My young nieces, nephews, and cousins motivate me to be intentional about becoming the best version of myself and experiencing the best life has to offer. Seeing their precious, innocent faces smiling at me and admiring me is priceless. In their eyes, I am a superwoman, and I refuse to let them down! I am so humbled to be a loving adult in their lives who has the power and influence to help shape their young minds. I truly believe that what we impart into our children — the words we speak, how we relate to them, how they see us navigate our lives even in times of adversity — will not only influence their future but the future of the world.”

“Focus on self-awareness to drive your day, week, and your calendar. I focus on self-awareness to drive my day, week, and calendar. Intentional time blocks help ensure that I have the focus time to forward think. It’s also important to build a team that understands the vision and is committed to the mission. Finally, I strive to always lead with the heart and remember that every patient experience matters and every employee experience matters. Creating a culture with your team will reap benefits years to come and every encounter with patient should be personable and connected living out each service standard.”

“We are often told successful people follow routines; forward thinking can be part of your personal routine, as exercising is for some. Figure out what works for you and begin flexing the ‘forward thinking muscle’. Initially it will need to be scheduled, and during challenging times, I plan for smaller and quantifiable wins on a daily basis until the crisis has passed.”

“I find inspiration in pausing to reflect on lessons from the past and dreaming about plans for the future. I found that reflection blocks on my calendar once a month allow me to see beyond just the next day, remember the people I need to thank, and focus on stakeholders critical to my journey.”

– Olesea Azevedo, Chief People Officer
