In this episode of PSW's Emerging Leaders Series, Adam Gregg, Ellina Seckel, and Nick Olson talk about professional identity, brand, values, and what these terms have meant to them in different ways throughout their lives. The trio covers:
* What thoughts arise when hearing the words professional identity, brand, values and why the topics feel timely
* How our internal lives inform what we express externally and the tension that arises when there is incongruency between the two
* How workplace alignment with personal values can be an important reason why people stay in a job (or leave if that connection is missing)
* The role that leaders can play in coaching team members on self-reflection and purpose in the workplace
* Personal realizations after experiencing the COVID pandemic, social, societal, political changes, and deeper reflections on living a personally fulfilling life

As the roles of pharmacists expand and advance to better serve patient populations and advance medication safety, it is imperative that the role of pharmacy technicians expand and advance as well.
Pharmacy technicians are no longer constrained to their traditional dispensing roles; they are critical members of the patient care team whether they are leading procurement efforts, keeping critical automation systems running, or assisting patients navigate an increasingly complex environment. With these enhanced responsibilities comes a need for opportunities for career growth and motivation for continuous professional advancement.
