Ashley shares how her background as a competitive soccer player forged the discipline, coachability, and team-first mentality she carries into every leadership role — and how those athletic instincts translate directly into running a high-performing hospital.\nAshley opens up about the importance of servant leadership, building a personal board of directors, and what she calls \"strategic empathy\" — the ability to hold both outcomes and humanity in the same hand. From embracing failure as a growth tool to championing diverse thought and unified teams, she offers a grounded, practical perspective on what it means to show up for your people every single day. Whether you're a seasoned executive or a practice manager wondering if you should raise your hand for that next role, this episode will remind you why taking the shot is always worth it.\nConnect with Ashley Vertuno, FACHE:\nLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashleyvertuno/\nHCA Florida JFK North Hospital: https://hcafloridajfknorthhospital.com\nIf this conversation resonated with you, give it a like, leave a comment below, and subscribe so you never miss an episode of Wondermous: A Healthcare Leadership Journey.\nTo learn how Merikay Hunt helps individuals and organizations breakthrough to the next level performance and unlock true leadership potential, please visit https://www.coachmkay.com/\nTo discover Merikay's leadership journey, order your copy of My Year on the Inside, Creating Catalysts for Change: https://www.coachmkay.com/store/\nWe hope you enjoyed this episode of Wondermous!\n – Merikay and the Wondermous podcast team\nConnect with Merikay on LinkedIn:...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/8gbrp09KnBZkdn44w1_sA4LHitdf47ZxaiEsPHAEIjE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS80N2Jh/ZjNjOWYzNTY1YWYx/OTQxZGI5NzhlNmE3/YjczZC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
