“It’s impossible to do everything for everyone. I have to continue to remind
myself that I do not have an unending amount of capacity, and neither do
my associates. We have to rely on our prioritization and our governance.”

Prioritize learning initiatives.
In closing, Lawrence mentions that over the
years he has been continuously surprised by the
importance of prioritization of learning
initiatives. “It’s impossible to do everything for
everyone,” Lawrence says, “I have to continue to
remind myself that I do not have an unending
amount of capacity, and neither do my
associates. We have to rely on our prioritization
and our governance.”
Lawrence concludes, “I’ve gone from being the
practitioner on the front line to the curriculum
developer; from the one delivering resources to
the leader. In our desire to jump in and make
things right or better, we have to pace ourselves.
I would advocate for us all to continue to take a
deep and thoughtful look at our approach to
prioritization, governance, and capacity as we all
move forward. And I’m happy to say that here
at SCL Health, we are doing exactly that.”
