Earlier the year I took a leap of faith and applied for the ASHA Leadership Development Program. I am so glad that I took this leap. This program is AMAZING! Our Cohort’s journey started April 26th at the “mothership,” ASHA’s headquarters in Maryland. Our cohort was comprised of Speech-Language Pathologists and Audiologists across the United States. We even had a dual-certified Speech-Language Pathologist from Canada!  We came together for an extraordinary day-long lecture. In this lecture we dove into our individual emotional intelligence. We collaborated on areas of opportunity. Then we dove into our individual leadership projects.  The program will last for one year. Once of a month we will come together and meet via computer for webinars. We will also meet with our own teams that were determined at the kick-off day-program. As you can see from our team poster, my team is pretty incredible!   I’m so excited to grow my personal leadership skill...

            One of my new favorite morning routines is to listen to a short podcast. For those of you who are unfamiliar with podcasts, they are audio files that are available on the internet to download. I don’t know why I didn’t start listening to these until this year! I love listening to these podcasts while I am getting ready for work or when I am driving to my work. Podcasts for the field of speech language pathology can be a bit tricky to find. So I thought I would share my top 15 podcasts. These are in no particular order! Happy listening and learning! 1.      Head & Neck Cancer Update - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/head-neck-cancer-update/id271087477?mt=2 2.      JAMA Specialty Journals - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/specialty-journals-author/id463469292?mt=2 3.      ENT expert opinion - https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/en...
