Faculty Spotlight: Charles Zimmer 🌟

Charles Zimmer is a specialist in CRM Training, but did you know his journey to ATI was pretty unconventional? Like many of our students and alumni, Charles didn't start in the healthcare or the BME industry. However, a job as a hospital chaplain led him to his interest in cardiac care, and he joined ATI as a student in 2014. Over the last ten years, he's been working in the field: in device clinics, at Biotronik, and at Impulse Dynamics as a clinical trial liaison. We're so glad that Charles is back at ATI, training our students and preparing them for successful careers in cardiac care.

Thank you, Charles, for everything you do!

🌟 Happy Labor Day! 🌟

We're back with another book recommendation from Kimber! 📚

This month's book is "The Obstacle is the Way" by Ryan Holiday. Here are Kimber's highlights:

➡️ Composure:
We don't control when things get hard; however, we can always control how we respond, stay poised and graceful.

➡️ Change your perspective:
Every obstacle we experience gives us an opportunity to improve and get things done.

➡️ Change outlook on failure:
It is our opportunity to see what did not work, analyze and try again.

➡️ Build resilience:
Having the opportunity to sit in the hard stuff and find solutions will build resilience.

➡️ Embrace challenges:
Welcome the challenge and be willing to pay the cost of what that is so you can grow stronger and wiser.

➡️ Action - Hustle - Move:
Do not sit still and wait—keep moving and find options and keep trying every day.

Through obstacles, we find balance and learn to keep emotions in check. They help us be honest and realistic. They are humbling, and they focus us on the end game.

We'd love to hear from you! Do you have a book recommendation for Kimber?
