Donna Stevens has been the most influential mentor in my life. Serving as my administrative partner for the first four years of my being Palliative Medicine and Hospice section chief, Donna helped me to grow as a leader. Under her mentorship, I refined the skills necessary to run a palliative care program. With her guidance, I became a better strategist, team developer and conflict mediator. Donna helped me to recognize and own my gifts as a leader. As such, she is one of the few people in the world whose feedback is invaluable to me.
