Do you work in an office?
I have an open ear headset and I use it to listen to the Bible, music and audiobooks between clients. Sometimes I listen while talking to clients…but I don’t recommend unless your ace at dividing your attention.

Honestly I don't stay too focused on them because they can really get you down. I try to just laugh it on and move on to the next one which I know is not always possible.

3 attorney firm. I’ve been here for 6 years and have used Westlaw exclusively. Now we are switching to Lexis because apparently Westlaw is too expensive. I hate change. I know where everything is on Westlaw and now I need to relearn. Apparently Westlaw will not budge on price and would rather just see a client leave than work with them. Super annoying. Any insight on negotiating Westlaw or transitioning to lexis?

Just FYI, if you ever miss an issue in an agreement that you don’t catch until late in the deal process, don’t try to blame it on the other side to your client. You’ll get caught.

Are there are PharmD who transitioned to clinical project management? Would love to connect! Right now, I work for a major PBM and pursuing an MBA- project management concentration. But honestly, I don’t know much about combining both my PharmD and MBA. Would love to see what others are doing and inquire about the stress levels as a clinical project manager?
