Declutter

Before organizing into beautiful bins, first declutter to keep only the things you want. That’s a pro tip for organization.

Before writing a moving story, first extract any relevant information from available resources and discard the rest.

Record the source of the extracted information and outline or tag it into broad categories for now. This is the first step to harnessing the wisdom of hundreds of authors into a single story. Bigger pile of resources means more time decluttering…but it’s worth it; champions work hard even when no one is looking.

Quickly, Gracefully, Reliably

Did you know that it’s with your legs, not arms, that you can quickly and reliably lift a washing machine up two flights of stairs?

This is how you can exploit your core strength and move it up in minutes. While freeing your arms to stabilize and open doors.

With the help of a partner, a simple sling, and your hips, it’s possible.

This blog isn’t about how to lift washing machines. It’s about how to elevate your product and take it to every last patient who needs it. Quickly, gracefully, and reliably.

Amazement That’s You

Each person we encounter has vivid sonder.

Too busy reading their labels, we miss the chance to explore their stories.

Dying of boredom or alive with wonder…the choice is ours.

Bring Along Humility

Who doesn’t like humility?

A message accompanied by humility is welcomed.

The same message, if accompanied by arrogance, is rejected along with its messenger. Why would they let us in next time?

Gifting

Attention is a lasting gift which most don’t get disappointed with.

On Mother’s Day and, really, all the other days.

‘I’m Not Sure’

Sometimes there’s no good reason for doing the things we do (or don’t do).

Thank goodness someone cared to ask us for the reason. The answer ‘I’m not sure’ invites exploration of possibilities.

Unknowingly, they just opened a door for us.

Story, Story, Story

Eight out of 10 CEOs go with their guts over data to make the calls.

Confine your idea in a good story before releasing it into the universe, because us humans buy stories, not products.

Elevating the Inconspicuous

This month is filled with holidays to express gratitude for those who assume undeniably important roles yet remain inconspicuous.

What if there was a Patient Appreciation Day?

Even if it’s commemorated with just lip service, how would it look?

What are the reasons to be grateful to patients?

If the patients didn’t seek us out, how would our lives be different?

Mark your calendars. We get an entire week to intentionally express gratitude to them: February 1-7, 2024.

Shifting Focus

Do we care about our work because we care about them?

Do we care about them because we care about our work?

The difference between the two is the difference between diversity and desert; nourishment and deprivation; dedication and apathy; conduction and resistance.

Uncertainty

Panic from uncertainty taxes our cognitive capacity. We take cover with what’s familiar to shut off further uncertainty.

They may write it off as rigid, careless, or even reckless.

Lean into the tension because it just may be the watershed moment. What lays around the bend may surprise both you and them.
