Over the last 29 years of consulting we have seen the complete evolution of technology, including the development of the internet from “no such thing” to a whole new world of technology, marketing opportunities and ways of doing business. As healthcare providers, there is a responsibility to keep up to date with the latest technology
Almost everybody who has a job has one or more aspects of it that bug them, irritate them, are just plain hard to do, nobody else wants to do it so you get dumped with it, and so on. It’s the one thing you leave until the last minute to do. Or maybe you neglect
Have you ever noticed that arguing usually leads nowhere constructive? You may say things in the heat of it all that you wish you hadn’t, or perhaps you didn’t coherently communicate what you DID want to say. Butting heads is stressful, to say the least. And not the most successful way to have a great,
So I was doing my free, in-depth practice analysis with a young doctor yesterday and I asked one of my standard questions: “Who is the head of your Marketing Division?” His answer: “I don’t think we have one. (Big laugh and big pause) Oh, I guess it boils down to me, eh?” Bottom line, they
Have you ever worked somewhere where there are no or few windows and the walls were bare? And worse yet, maybe the walls were beige or grey? And walking in every day was a bit of a let down, especially if it was sunny outside before you came in? How did that make you feel?
If you have children, you have probably heard “It’s not my fault” or “I didn’t do it” at least one hundred times per year of their life. It is a habit that seems to be formed quite early in life to get out of trouble, and actually, for many people, it is continued till the
Many healthcare professionals have days when they think about retiring, whether early or late. There are days when it is just all too much and you can’t take it anymore. On the other side of the coin, perhaps you don’t feel busy enough and wonder if you should just close the doors. Some want to
Can’t get away from the practice on time. Too busy to go to your son’s or daughter’s games. Need a new car but no time to look. Haven’t taken a serious holiday for years. No time to sit down and read a good book for a few hours uninterrupted. Can’t find a time to get
I just talked with a doctor today in a two doctor practice. She said “things are fine” but after 21 years in practice, she is feeling that “things” are changing and that they should start taking some pro-active steps to keep up with the times and shifts in culture. She feels they need systems and
A survey was done a few years ago to find out what gives Veterinarians the most stress. These were some of the answers (do you experience any of them too?): “Euthanizing animals has become very stressful. Some CE on how to deal with grief would be beneficial.” “Finances are usually part of most stress –
It is SOOOO easy to be lazy and goof off. The temptation to relax and do nothing beautifully is all around us. The environment may be beckoning you (a fabulous spring day), or maybe it’s your friends begging to you to play hooky and come play with them. Sometimes it’s the open road that calls,
You half-overheard a conversation and believe that your staff are conspiring against you. You freeze in disbelief and don’t know what to do or if you even heard it right.
