MSL Mastery Gift Guide: Elevate Your 2025 

Tools for Excellence and Impact

Being an MSL requires strategic thinking, adaptability, and constant upskilling (for more upskilling opportunities, check out the MSL Mastery store). The tools in this section are all about enabling you to excel at your craft. Whether it’s planning more effectively, capturing critical insights, or even making a bold career move. These gifts aren’t just items; they’re investments in your ability to make an impact and grow professionally.

• Remarkable Starter Pack: Streamline your insights and stay on top of conversations with HCPs. This tool helps turn notes into action. If the digital handwriting device isn’t your thing. Check out the Rocketbook. I love taking handwritten notes, but I also like digital. This has been the perfect combo for me. 
• The 12-Week Year & Field Guide: Crushing goals doesn't just happen by chance. High-performing MSLs aren't just lucky. They make it happen. The 12 12-week year is the ultimate guide to getting your needle movers done in less time. This book completely revolutionized my planning process. It's so simple, and it works! It was the inspiration for my MSL monthly planning guide.
• Job Search Mastery, How to WIN Your Dream Job: Tom's book has it all. It's jam-packed with actionable strategies to help you stand out, nail your interviews, and land your dream job. Whether you’re looking to make a big move in 2025 or simply refine your career approach, this book is a must-have for MSLs ready to elevate their professional journey.

Wellness & Energy for the Long Run

Being an MSL is a demanding job. Long hours, extensive travel, and constant mental engagement can take a toll if you’re not prioritizing your wellness. This category is designed to help you sustain your energy, recover effectively, and feel your best. When you’re thriving, so is your work. These gifts focus on nurturing your health and creating moments of balance in an otherwise hectic schedule.

• Daily Harvest Bundle: If you want to be your best, you need to eat well. Sarah, Tom and I all focus on nutrition. If you want to perform at a high level, what you eat matters. Sarah swears by this food delivery service. Don't mess around when it comes to nutrition. It is especially important with a traveling job where it is easy to eat bad food all the time.
• Oura Ring: Tom and Sarah swear by this. Optimize your recovery, track your sleep, and ensure you’re operating at peak performance for those critical engagements. If rings are your thing, check out this Garmin watch. I tell everyone it changed my life more than the iPhone. 
• Small Electric Blanket (Rechargeable): We all spend a lot of time sitting at our desks or on cold airplanes (no window seats in the exit row for me! They are too cold!). I have a small electric throw for working at my desk. Sometimes during calls, I’ll adjust my electric blanket without thinking. Until I remember my camera is on, and everyone can see it! Cue instant embarrassment.

Travel Smarter, Work Smarter

MSLs are road warriors. Travel can be exhilarating, but it’s also exhausting without the right tools. Sarah, Tom, and I are all about making your travel as comfortable and practical as possible so you don't burn out. This category is packed with efficiency-focused, travel-friendly essentials that streamline your on-the-go life.

• Foldable Travel Bag: Sarah says this bag is her ultimate travel companion and for carrying her travel electric blanket. She uses it for everything: dropping her daughter off at dance, going to the gym, or for a quick work trip. This is a great alternative for when the wheel of your rolly bag falls off in Chinatown (Or am I the only one that has happened to?). 
• Portable Second Monitor: Is there anything worse than having to do a bunch of computer work on a small laptop screen? Investing in a small portable monitor will help you stay productive while on the go. It's also great for playing your favorite game after a long day. Not that you would do that on your work computer or anything. 
• Tech Organizer Case: Ok, I take back what I said above about having to work on a small laptop monitor being the worst thing ever. Having a spaghetti ball of cables and chargers is way worse. Use this case to keep your cords and travel accessories organized. Pro-tip: get dedicated charger cables just for travel so that you don't have to pack and unpack your bag all the time.
