Beautification

Earth Day will be celebrated by many as Beautification Day.

Beatification embraces action, hope, and fearlessness. Hope for potential and fearlessness toward failure.

Our health care system can use beautification, too (it seems like beautification is needed everywhere).

What does beautiful health care look like? What can I do today as a step toward this beautification? How can I enroll my colleagues this month as a step toward this beautification? With more hands on deck, what’s the smallest way in which we can make health care more beautiful by the end of this year?

Who’s counting on us?

Every. Single. Person.

Care to read the room.

Not to pass judgement, but to open doors.

Afterall, this problem is too big for any one person or group to go it alone.

How many people do we need? Every. Single. Person.

Happen to the Market

Marketers are relentlessly curious. ‘Why is it the way it is?’ ‘How can we transform the scarcity into abundancy?’

How about flipping the script on its head and becoming relentlessly curious on behalf of the customer?

That’s. Offensive play. Happen to the market before it happens to you.

Learning Skills

Raw instruction must undergo transformation to become learnings.

If learning is what we expect, we should be expected to make space. Give them a turn to articulate and practice what they observed. It’s no wonder that workshops and projects open doors for us.

Tension…release…tension…release…causes forward motion.

Curiosity Towards Scarcity

We take notice of scarcity that causes pain.

Scarcity of talent, time, strategy, patients, reimbursement, ….

Scarcity is the symptom of something that’s going on; it’s not the cause for something to happen.

Pulling Forward

The difference between ‘I have to’ and ‘I get to’ is the difference between a push and a pull.

Pull is more energy efficient—says physics.

Care to Find Out

What’s the driest place on earth?

Without caring to look it up, most would assume it’s some hot dessert.

If water covers 70% of the earth’s surface, how much of the earth’s total mass does it account for?

Without caring to look it up, most would assume it’s a significant portion.

Especially for the decisions that matter, is your truth based on assumptions?

Learning Together

Patient education; continuing education; learning modules; training; presentations.

True learning doesn’t come from giving instructions, but from opening doors.

I’d rather be the guide on the side than the sage on the stage.

No wonder doctors and attorneys call their work ‘practice.’

Harvesting Talent and Resources

Our $4.3 trillion situation is desperate.

This scarcity of achievement is not from scarcity of talent and resources, but because we’re squandering them–which is actually a reason to rejoice.

There’s no need to settle for less, because we can do something about it.

Hope for Exponential Growth

In the darkest time, there is still hope.

All you need is one. Even a single burning coal is enough hope to set a fire.

The math of exponential growth works. Only if a constant is at the base and a variable is in the exponent—not the other way around.
