In this special behind the bench, Co-hosts Lona Small and Stephanie Whitehead, interview Tywauna Wilson about her journey to laboratory leadership and her impactful work in the Cincinnati/Dayton, OH communities. She discusses failing forward and the lessons she learned from early career failures to her proudest laboratory moment of training medical laboratory scientists in Rwanda, Africa. 

Key takeaways:

• Failure isn’t final. It’s a setup for a great comeback
• Great leaders make an impact
• It doesn’t matter how you start but how you finish
• Tips for new managers…. ask questions and get to know each member of your team
• Define success for yourself
• Invest in your personal development… it’s the best asset that you have
• With a degree in the field, you can do anything. You just have to be open and flexible with your career path
