Here is a hack if your wanting to transition or pivot into a non-clinical role Study job descriptions 📖 Start to notice what are the 2 or 3 things that they are all looking for? This is where keyword optimization comes in to play and you have to use those key words on your résumé otherwise your résumé is going absolutely nowhere A perfect example if you are trying to be a customer success manager, and you don’t mention the word retention l in your resume I can almost guarantee you…your résumé is going nowhere How do I know that? Because that is a key responsibility that customer success managers are responsible for Retention If you have been applying for jobs and networking appropriately and you aren’t landing interviews. There is an opportunity for you to optimize your résumé. Let’s talk 🙌🏼

Never start your job hunt with your resume 😳 First you need to discover where you want to go & why Part of career mapping is reverse engineering Once you start looking at a bunch of Clinicians profiles who have successfully transitioned you are going to reverse engineer what they did And you are not going to reinvent the wheel ⚙️ Let’s do an example When you study their profiles you notice they go from therapist to lets say clinical liaison Then maybe they go to Senior Clinical Liaison And then Director of Business Development 📝Your action item before you start building a résumé is: where do I want to be? And maybe you don’t know for 100% certainty that once you are a clinical liaison that you will want to move towards senior, and then Director but you’re learning skills along the way that’s going to set you up for success and a potential pivot into your another role Have you tried reverse engineering your career progression before? ⏮️

If only I had superpowers…   As a leader it can be far too easy to fall into the trap Of being everything to everyone. Or trying to be.   All day long, team members have questions. Bosses need data and plans. Vendors want contracts signed. Patients ask for appointments, answers, refills.   So… We try to do MORE. Answer more emails. Attend more meetings. Schedule more meetings. Make more plans. Do more things.   But, more isn't always the answer.   A process or workflow that worked in the past May not work now that your practice has grown. Now that you have different physicians working there.   It may feel like it should work. Like it's still working. Except that it's no longer efficient. You are working longer hours. Your physicians are clicking more buttons. Everyone is running from meeting to meeting.   Deciding that enough is enough isn't a bad thing. It's an opportunity.   An opportunity to start with yourself. It can be easy to think that a new, fun, shiny piece of tech Or a brand new building Will solve all of your busyness problems.   It won't.   Clients who work with me start by looking at the way they schedule their day. They look at opportunities to get ahead of the fires. They look at ways to streamline meetings. To be intentional about who is involved at what levels of each process.   Is it comfortable to make these changes? Not usually.   Is it like going to the gym or cleaning out that closet… Painful for a little while but so worth it as you live with the results? 100% … 1000%     What is one little adjustment you can make… One conversation you can have… That will start the changes for you? You can make it through the discomfort! The best is yet to come.       #leadershipdevelopment #neuroscience #emotionalintelligence #teamleadership #management   ---------------------------------------------- I'm Katie. I help healthcare teams and leaders to solve complex operational and interpersonal challenges.   When we learn what's going on unconsciously in our brains and bodies, we can make better conscious choices. And lead thriving teams to do important work!   Looking to make your life easier? To thrive rather than just survive? Keep following! … More resources in my profile.

Medical bills less than $500 won't go on your credit report. So why pay them? Because it's the right thing to do: pay a reasonable rate for the services provided. However, if a facility/lab bills you $500 for a metabolic panel (less than $10 retail) and doesn't want to negotiate a reasonable rate, then don't pay it. Now what happens when all unpaid medical bills don't show up on your credit report....

Closing the Gap: Addressing the Shortage of Behavioral Health Professionals👩‍⚕️👨‍⚕️ The demand for behavioral health professionals has been steadily rising in recent years, driven by increased awareness 🧠 of mental health issues and expanded access to mental health care services. However, this growing demand has outpaced the supply of qualified professionals, creating a significant shortage in the behavioral health workforce. Rising Demand for Behavioral Health Services💡 According to recent data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), employment of substance abuse, behavioral disorder, and mental health counselors is projected to grow by 25% from 2020 to 2030, much faster than the average for all occupations. This surge in demand is attributed to several factors, including: 1. Growing Mental Health Awareness: Heightened awareness of mental health issues and the importance of seeking treatment has led to increased demand for mental health services across all age groups👨‍👩‍👦. 2. Expanded Insurance Coverage: The expansion of insurance coverage for mental health and substance abuse treatment under the Affordable Care Act has improved access to care for millions of Americans, further driving demand for behavioral health professionals🗽. 3. Integration of Mental Health Services: The integration of mental health services into primary care settings and community-based programs has increased the need for behavioral health professionals who can provide comprehensive and coordinated care to individuals with mental health and substance use disorders🏥.

F@#* When did "fail" become the other F word? The word that we should avoid. The word that makes people squirm. We all experience failure at some point. A missed promotion, a project setback, or even a creative execution that did not go as planned. I used to live my life (professional & personal) in fear that I would fail. Eventually I learned that failure isn't the enemy, and in fact, it can be a valuable teacher. - Failure fosters resilience - Every time we overcome a challenge, we develop the grit and determination to take on future obstacles. We learn to bounce back and adapt to changing circumstances. - Failure uncovers blind spots - The only way to know if something does/doesn't work is to try it. Failure will expose flaws in the approach and execution, which forces us to refine strategies and find better solutions. - Failure fuels innovation - Flip through any history book and you will see a timeline littered with inventions born from failed attempts at something else. Unexpected turns can lead to groundbreaking discovery. Grateful to have leaders like Kristen Erban, MSIS, PMP & Nicole Fritz who encourage taking a chance, even if it does mean you may fail. Fail Fast. Fail Cheap. Fail Forward. While I appreciate the sentiment of the image below, I'd love to flip the conversation. What would you attempt if you did not fear failure? #Failure #GrowthMindset #innovation #resilience

"The Power of Gratitude in Recruiting" As a healthcare recruiter, there's nothing more rewarding than receiving heartfelt gratitude from the candidates I've had the privilege of assisting. The simple act of a thank-you message or positive feedback can truly uplift and inspire me to continue doing this meaningful work. This morning, I woke up to a message from a recent candidate I was able to place in a new role. They expressed their sincere appreciation for my support throughout the process, sharing how much it meant to them to have someone in their corner fighting for the right opportunity. Moments like these remind me why I pursued a career in recruitment - it's not just about filling open positions, it's about changing lives and helping talented individuals take the next step in their healthcare journeys. The gratitude and enthusiasm from candidates makes all the late nights, detailed searches, and thorough vetting worthwhile. It's a powerful validation that the work I do has a real, positive impact. To all the healthcare professionals out there - please don't underestimate the profound effect your feedback can have on your recruiters. A simple "thank you" can go a long way in fueling our passion and drive to connect you with the right roles. And to my fellow recruiters - keep uplifting and empowering the candidates you serve. Their gratitude is the greatest reward we can receive. #RecruitmentMatters #HealthcareRecruiting #ThankYou

Stop Overwhelm and Get up to Speed Faster When starting a new job or a new project that you have limited knowledge about it can be very stressful. One of the main reasons that happens is just pure information overload. Lots of acronyms, processes and file locations. It is so overwhelming. Combine that with the fact that you really want to make a good impression and also ideally fit in with your new team. With so many competing goals it is no wonder it can be stressful for all involved. To cut through some of that pain I love to think about the work through an infrastructure lens at the beginning. This helps me cope with being overwhelmed and allows me to build on top information and process layers as I learn them. Also instead of trying to memorize the work or the process you are being taught try and think about why the work flow even exists. An example: log into your salesforce to pull the latest stats on the top 50 oecd markets and then you put that in the spreadsheet and update the Q3 presentation with the new targets. Make sure the sales and marketing channels get notified and also cc HOD. Also for market X we always check with outbound because they track that differently. Lots of jargon and lots of process. Most likely it will be pretty key to your new role or project. No pressure! What happens if we take an infrastructure lens to it and at the same time answer why does it exist? The example: Why does it exist? We need accurate numbers to get to the right people at the right time. Infrastructure lens: We use a tool to track data on important markets. Not all data comes from the same tool. That data is updated regularly and shared with larger groups mainly but also some individuals. Now I don’t where in the tool to go and don’t exactly which data I should grab so I will need further training on that. But at least I now know what to specifically ask for training wise if I am called to do that work or help with it. Not nearly as overwhelming as it first seemed. Now the next day I can focus my learning on a specific tool and layer that on top of my current knowledge. Before you know it you are completely up to speed!

In the spirit of entering a new month, let's debunk a common misconception today: the idea that cold weather causes Upper Respiratory Tract Infections (URTI) and Pneumonia. 🤔❌ 🤧 Sure, we've all heard grandma warn us to bundle up or risk catching a cold, but science says otherwise! While cold weather may make us more susceptible to certain viruses, like the common cold or flu, it's not the chilly air itself that's to blame for those sniffles and coughs. 🤒 URTIs and Pneumonia are caused by viruses (like rhinovirus, influenza virus) or bacteria (such as Streptococcus pneumoniae). They spread through respiratory droplets when infected individuals cough, sneeze, or even talk. It's all about germ exposure! 🦠💥 So, what's the real health risk? It's not the frosty temperatures but rather close contact with sick individuals or touching contaminated surfaces and then touching your face👀 unknowingly. Here's what to do: -Wash those hands regularly, yes get a hand sanitizer if you don't have regular access to hand wash and clean water. - Keep your distance from sick friends who have flu and maybe invest in a cozy scarf for warmth, not just for warding off imaginary cold bugs! 🧣✨ -Stay Healthy: Take care of your overall health by eating a balanced diet, staying physically active, getting enough sleep, and managing stress. A healthy lifestyle can help boost your immune system and reduce the risk of infections. -Practice Respiratory Etiquette: Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your elbow when coughing or sneezing to prevent the spread of respiratory droplets. Dispose of used tissues properly and wash your hands afterward. -Avoid Smoking and Secondhand Smoke: Smoking damages the lungs and weakens the immune system, making individuals more susceptible to respiratory infections. Avoiding smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke can reduce the risk of pneumonia and URTIs. -Stay Up to Date on Health Guidelines: Keep yourself informed about current health guidelines and recommendations from reputable sources such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) or the World Health Organization (WHO). Let's stay informed as information is key👌💪. Here's me saying Happy New Month to you in advance! Docxplorer #LinkedIn #health #Tuesday #urti #healthiswealth

I just ordered $2000 worth of toothpaste. Why? Most patients who are recommended a prescription toothpaste don't show up to the pharmacy to get it. If we deliver it at the office they leave with it, and will use it. Did you know patients that don't brush regularly actually benefit more than those that do? It makes a difference! Prevention matters and there are a lot of different methods to focus on prevention. I relate my prevention recommendations septically to my patients.

📈In yet another great Linked In poll, Douglas Brown asked the question: what is the real cost of turnover? 💰We often think of the cost of turnover in terms of the hard cost of recruiting costs (advertising, resume review) as well as the cost to interview, select, and socialize your new team members. 🤔But what about the soft-dollar cost of lost knowledge, time spent learning the business context, content, and cultural aspects of the organization, and the time spent moving through the team storming stage, and remember that there is no guarantee that a team will move into the performing phase! How does a lost team member affect employee engagement? Is your new team member getting everything they need to be successful as they learn how to be at their best in a system of which they have no knowledge. 🏢 We can help your business in two ways: 1) We develop a suite of materials to carefully document your processes to be used as both structure, training, and combatting organizational silos. 2) Our unique socialization toolkit provides a variety of ways to help your new team members excel in a new environment. ⚪ All of our tools are "white label" products, meaning that you can add your logo to make them part of your brand and identity!

3 years ago, I wrote my first post on LinkedIn. It got 8 likes and 400 impressions. Today, I’m getting messages from people saying they want to invest with me. (Something I will be forever grateful for) If I ever had to describe a full-circle moment, this would be it. I remember how things were in the beginning. For months, I had nothing. No authority No interest No growth But I had a feeling it would work out so I: → Showed up every single week for the next 3 years → Built my real estate business career in public → Focused on constant self-education → Shared everything I was learning And that got me here. Being able to generate business from it. There were no shortcuts. No hacks. Only pure dedication. If you’re just starting out on LinkedIn (or your investing journey), don’t give up. Success loves those who don’t quit. This message goes to all of those who are struggling. In life. In career. In business. You got this. Your efforts won’t be left in vain. ✊ ………. The last day of the raising round! To learn more about the offer send me a DM or schedule a time to connect in my profile. (Free discovery meeting) See you around 🔥 P.S. ♻️ Repost this if it resonates.
