I’m calling 2024 “The Great Rewiring.” A year where I’m making a conscious effort to “rewire” my brain and replace some of the dopamine-seeking behaviors I’ve developed over the last 32 years of my life. Replacing “cheap” dopamine: - Junk food - Dating apps - Doomscrolling - Checking how many “likes” I got With more holistic sources: - Time with friends - Reading more books - Spending time in nature - Creating things I’m proud of Notice the difference? “Cheap” dopamine sources are hyper-stimulating and require little effort. They provide an instant, intense rush that is fleeting and superficial. Abusing your dopamine receptors with this kind of super-stimuli leads to desensitization, making it harder to find satisfaction in everyday activities. The items on the second list are what I call “earned dopamine.” They require actual effort and engagement. And while the effects might not be as intense or immediate as the “cheap” sources, they leave a lasting residue of fulfillment and contentment. By “rewiring” your brain to seek holistic dopamine sources, you can start to break the cycle of instant gratification and cultivate a more balanced, fulfilling life. Note: I’m not trying to demonize any of the things mentioned. I just personally don’t enjoy how I feel after partaking in them. Find what works for you. 🚨 Disclaimer: I’m not a scientist or an expert on dopamine. Image credit: everyday_connection on Instagram

With the upcoming split between Salesforce and Veeva Systems in 2025, implications from a financial and operational point of view but most importantly clinical from my perspective as a practicing clinician, are substantial. PwC has actively been sharing the pros and cons as well as considerations Pharma and Life Sciences organisations will need to bear in mind. Key timelines are as follows. 🔑 2024 - Suggested in-depth assessment of your current systems and capabilities as well as your wish list going forward given the rapidly evolving CRM ecosystem and focus on #patientcentricity 🔑 September 2025 - A stop in the renewal of the Salesforce-Veeva partnership resulting in companies having to strategise and decide on their migration and integration plans 🔑 2025-2030 - A vital five-year transition and window period during which organisations will be able to continue to use Veeva CRM on Salesforce but will also need to execute the strategies they decide on 🔑 2030 - The deadline by which organisations will have to have completed their transition to either platform A big thank you to my PwC Japan colleagues, Shunsuke Horii and Daisuke Baba for the invitation to speak to clients (see pic below on left) and for being such gracious hosts and ensuring a seamless solution to overcome the language barrier (see pic below on right).

Concerning interview comments should not be overlooked. They are often signs of deep-rooted problems. Learn to identify these interview red flags And avoid toxic workplaces: 1. Overly long application process ↳ Complicated or overly long processes can be a sign of bureaucracy. ↳ It can indicate inefficiency or a lack of internal agreement on requirements. 2. Constant rescheduling ↳ If they keep rescheduling it shows they don’t value your time. ↳ This is a sign of poor preparation and organisation inside the workplace. 3. Multiple description updates ↳ If the job description keeps changing it can signal poor communication. ↳ Ensure you are aware of job description changes and are happy with the updates.

Hey LinkedIn 'Ohana! I come to you with my corporate hat off and my dad hat on. My middle son is an 8-yr old profoundly (aka Level 3) Autistic son that's non-verbal. As we bounce into April, not only will Spring be in the air, it'll also be World Autism Day on April 2nd kicking off World Autism Acceptance month. I ask you to spare 5 mins to look over this story of a family where their autistic son is being sued and labelled as a "Public Nuisance" in San Jose, CA due his vocal stimming. This hits very close to the Kiatmysack home, so we ask for your support in signing this petition to help right a wrong here. The more visibility this gets, the more of chance that like Zeek doesn't have this dark cloud hang over his family. https://lnkd.in/gftQK-Rn

Embrace Every Setback as a Stepping Stone to Success! Failure isn't the end; it's the beginning of a new lesson. Remember, F.A.I.L. stands for "First Attempt In Learning." Every stumble is just a stepping stone toward your goals. And when you encounter obstacles, remind yourself that E.N.D. means "Effort Never Dies." Keep pushing forward with relentless determination. Receiving a "No" doesn't mean defeat; you're one step closer to your next "Yes." N.O. signifies "Next Opportunity," an opportunity to refine your approach and seize the next chance that comes your way. It all starts with a mindset shift. Embrace challenges, learn from setbacks, and keep your eyes on the prize. Your journey to success is defined not by the hurdles you face but by how you overcome them. So, let's rewrite our narratives. Let's transform our failures into foundations, our setbacks into stepping stones, and our "No's" into new opportunities. Together, let's redefine what it means to succeed. #EmbraceFailure #MindsetMatters #OpportunityInObstacles #SuccessMindset #KeepPushingForward
