🩵🌊Celebrating THE 10th Year Anniversary of Capture – October 23!🫶🏼🙌🏻
✨ Ten years ago, I took the biggest gamble of my life. I bet it all—our home, my career, my family’s security—for a chance to build something that didn’t yet exist: a healthcare model that bridges public and private care, reduces wait times, and brings quality healthcare closer to everyone. ✨
1. Embrace Grit and Resilience
Lesson: Resilience isn't the absence of struggle, but the ability to rise each time we fall.
2. Find Strength in Vulnerability
Lesson: Vulnerability breeds trust, and trust is the foundation of great leadership. No leader has all the answers, but by staying open they are more likely to manage pivotal moments better.
3. Breaking the Mold with Confidence
Lesson: If the seat at the table isn’t offered—build your own table. I’ve learned to trust my instincts, even when the world said otherwise.
4. Purpose-Driven Leadership Creates Impact
Lesson: True fulfillment comes from serving a mission greater than yourself. My personal growth has come from realizing that purpose isn't a destination—it’s a continuous journey of aligning actions with values.
5. The Power of Relationships
Lesson: Success isn't just measured in profits but in the relationships, we build along the way. Real long lasting – from our incredible team, our patients, to our community partners – from our business allies and the ones who have shared any step of the climb! It's all about the PEOPLE!
6. Entrepreneurship is the ability to endure hardship for an extended period without giving up.
Lesson: Entrepreneurship demands periods of intense, all-consuming effort, paired with quick, precise decision-making. It requires the ability to persevere without losing momentum, holding out for brief moments of rest before diving back in. It’s not for the faint of heart, but the rewards can be truly fulfilling.
7. The Loneliness of Leadership
Lesson: Leadership requires deep self-acceptance—knowing that not everyone will understand your journey, and that’s okay. True strength lies in finding peace with the solitude, while nurturing the relationships that do weather the storm with you – from your team, to your family and friends, and your relationships.
8. Finding the Meaning in the journey
Lesson: At the end of the day, it’s not just about reaching the destination—it’s about embracing the journey, with all its highs and lows, and finding joy in each step along the way.
Lastly it also depends on a ton of caffeine ☕️☕️☕️ and a great sense of humour through some of the most difficult times readying for the best moments to come!
🎉 As I reflect on these 10 years, I am filled with gratitude—grateful for the challenges, the wins, the lessons, and most of all, the people who made this possible.
To my incredible team—you’ve been the heart of everything. To our patients and community—thank you for trusting us with your care. And to everyone who has been part of this journey—thank you for believing in what we do.
Here’s to the next chapter, new lessons, and continuing to grow—together.
