FIRST, EAT YOUR FROG is a meticulously referenced book presenting eight lessons (or "pearls") learned by a successful woman in medicine-Dr. Elizabeth Kagan Arleo. Benefits to the reader include improved work-life integration; more easeful relationships at work with colleagues and at home with family; better time management in both spheres; and core tenets for thriving as a professional working mother.
The chapters cover eight key lessons the author has learned in her ongoing journey as a mother of three, practicing physician, and editor-in-chief of Clinical Imaging, including: 1. Eat your frog 2. 168 hours-you have more time that you think 3. If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail 4. Remember the pre-meeting meeting 5. Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good 6. Stop over-apologizing 7. It doesn't hurt to ask politely 8. Have a growth mindset
In FIRST, EAT YOUR FROG, Dr. Arleo gives ample credit to the authors and mentors who inspired the lessons and provides explicit guidance-and highly entertaining stories-to help readers move toward less overwhelm and more work-life balance.
