TGIM!!! Thanks God It’s Monday!!!
A few times in my life Sunday evenings were synonymous with dreading the start of the work week. Those were the times in when I changed jobs. Sometimes companies. Once or twice even continents. Life is too short to not be excited about Mondays. Mondays represent the beginning of a forty-hour (at least) opportunity to change the world (hint, you dont need to be a senior executive of a large company to change the world…..we all do so in a huge variety of roles) and many more hours on top of work to practice being the best parent, husband, wife, partner, son, daughter, friend, etc that you can be.
Do you find yourself saying “I got to go to work vs I get to go to work?”……find a new job! Are you trapped in a place where purpose means little? Tragic. Run! Nobody regrets doing so in their final hours.
I love Mondays. Here at
Zimmer Biomet a new week represents another great opportunity to:
1. Improve patient care driving the boldest innovation around. We do so every 8 seconds across the globe.
2. Visit customers and learn from them!
3. Spent time with colleagues and celebrate wins together. Sometimes even birthdays like
Rachel Ellingson’s this last week in Warsaw, Indiana
4. Get choked by some surgeons like Dr.
Steve Haas at a hospital gala….because you disagree on knee designs
5. Launch the boldest orthopedic surgeons panel in the history of MedTech…along with some ground-breaking MedEd platforms coming up
6. Enjoy a Spanish Paella made with love in Indiana by our great chef in building 3 in Warsaw (Chef John YOU ROCK!)
7. And sooooo much more!
Excited about the week ahead. Several innovation discussions will happen in the next five working days. We get also a chance this week to update the investor community on our Q3 progress during our earnings call Wednesday October 30th (don’t miss it), some of us will travel later to China to explore growth opportunities in the country in a partnership with Advamed, and none of us will just sit and wait for the weekend. TGIM!
Are you excited about your week? “Do you get-to or do you got-to?”
