On Episode 405 of The No Limits Selling Podcast, we have Trish Barbato, President and CEO of the Arthritis Society, where she is fighting the fire of arthritis and giving the six million Canadians living with arthritis a voice. It's time to be bold. It's time to disrupt. It's time to innovate. She's obsessed with making organizations better, stronger, and more impactful. I am also passionate about motivating and inspiring people to do their best work and use all their gifts. She believes everything is an ecosystem and we must be great partners and collaborators. She's an Innovation Leader Award winner, published author and global speaker. Leadership and management are crucial for driving excellence and change in organizations. Self-awareness is key to effective leadership, as it allows leaders to understand their own strengths and weaknesses and lead with authenticity. Trust and authenticity are essential for building a strong organizational culture, and leaders must balance being present and showing up for employees. Effective communication and a culture of continuous improvement are also vital for driving excellence and change. Building a culture of leadership and accountability, and aligning employees with the organization's purpose and values, are essential for success.

Cheryl C. and Cheryl K. share key tools for thriving with arthritis, like finding ways to ask for help, developing health literacy, practicing self-compassion, and getting support. They also discuss the safety of modern medicine and how to balance it with complementary therapies to create an individualized plan for managing rheumatoid arthritis.  Additionally, they delve into the mental health techniques that have helped them cope, including: reframing exercises, and working past bias. Cheryl K. shared how she used her experiences to form Arthritis Consumer Experts, a patient-led and science-based organization with the goal of providing better education to people with arthritis.Episode at a glance:Navigating chronic illness when the internet was just starting: Cheryl Koehn had an athletic background, but when symptoms struck she went to the library to do her own research and advocated for herself despite medical gaslighting.Trialing treatment options: Cheryl K. initially denied Western Medicine before she ended up with 36 active swollen joints within a year and progressively worsening quality of life. Following this, she received gold injections and other conventional DMARDs initially, adding in Methotrexate and later transitioning to newer medications like biologics as they became available.Coping with peer pressure: People trying to convince her that “natural is better” and to avoid medications, however natural isn't inherently better at controlling disease and newer medications are backed by research. Cheryl C. and Cheryl K. discuss how a balance of complementary therapies and medication help people safely manage their conditions. Koen practices reframing exercises, works on explicit and implicit bias, and considers “what can I learn from this person today” with an open mind.Wisdom for newly diagnosed patients: Find ways to ask for help! Develop health literacy as a tool for advocating for yourself and to guide decision making.What does it mean to thrive with rheumatic disease: Practice self-love and self-compassion, love what you do, and give yourself room to breathe.Arthritis Consumer Experts (ACE): Cheryl K. used her experiences of running her own consulting firm, volunteering, and being on the board at the Arthritis Society to form this organization.

Meet Lindsie: I'm passionate about a few things: My family (my husband and I have two young sons named Dante and Enzo) My community (I love being part of a real Vancouver neighbourhood) Travel (I even wrote a book about Traveling with Kids) Writing (Check out my latest article for REW.ca here) Wine (no need to explain!) People (my friends and my clients, who often become friends) Real Estate Being outdoors (especially hiking, SUP and biking) But I'm even more passionate about helping my clients find the home that is right for them. I specialize in helping families who have outgrown their current home, usually with the arrival of a wee one. Who knew someone so small could take up so much space? With the arrival of a baby, you start to think about things that you hadn't before. I love guiding clients through the process of finding the neighbourhood that they want to raise their children in. I also love helping first time home buyers through the excitement and nervousness of buying their first property. It doesn't have to be scary! WHERE I LIVE Before we had kids, my husband and I lived in a condo in Kits, which we adored. After our first son was born, our one bedroom and den condo suddenly became too small (sound familiar?!) so we bought a house near Commercial Drive in East Vancouver. If you live in the area and have kids, you've probably seen me around the playground, the ice rink or Community Centre at Trout Lake. If you live in the area and don't have kids, you've probably seen me shopping at Donald's Market, running around Trout Lake, sipping a coffee at The Prado cafe or enjoying a chocolate chip zucchini muffin at JJ Bean. WHICH NEIGHBORHOODS DO I SPECIALIZE IN? I work in all areas of Vancouver (including outside of Vancouver proper like North Van, Burnaby and Port Moody). I specialize in East Van because it's my 'hood and I know the schools, parks, restaurants, community centres and ammenities like the back of my hand. COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT A portion of every one of my sales go to the Children's Miracle Network as well as Backpack Buddies. The children's hospitals supported by the Children's Miracle Network provide comfort, treatment and hope to millions of sick kids each year. In Vancouver, our donations go directly to the BC Children's Hospital and last year, our RE/MAX office raised more than $24,105. Backpack Buddies is a unique program that addresses a very real need in Vancouver that most of us don't think about. There are many kids that attend inner city schools that rely on lunch programs throughout the school week. When the weekend rolls around, many of these kids will remain hungry until they return to school on Monday. Backpack Buddies provides a backpack filled with food for these kids to take home, because hunger doesn't take the weekend off. In 2002, I was a part of Joints in Motion, raising over $4,000 for the Arthritis Society of Canada and running my first marathon in Honolulu. In 2003 & 2005, I joined Team in Training, raising over $10,000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada. I also volunteer every year with the Vancouver Heritage Foundation and the Vancouver International Wine Festival (formerly the Playhouse International Wine Festival). I love heritage houses and wine!

How many times have you heard people underestimate the seriousness of their chronic condition with a statement like, "It's just arthritis"? Arthritis is not rare, it plagues 1 in 5 Canadians and it is not an inevitable part of aging. To learn more, Libby Znaimer sat down with Trish Barbato President and CEO of The Arthritis Society. AND We often feel a deep sense of loss when someone we admire dies and many of us feel the need to pay tribute whether we knew the person or not. This week, hundreds of thousands of people lined up for hours to pay respects to the Queen and closer to home thousands turned out to honour murdered Constable Andrew Wong - although he was not a household name. What is behind these expressions of public grief? Libby talked with Dr. Darcy Harris, a professor from the Department of Thanatology, which is the scientific study of death, at King

Libby Znaimer is joined by Hugh Segal, Former Senator of Canada, Cheri DiNovo, former Ontario NDP MPP and recipient of the Order of Canada and John Milloy, former Ontario Liberal MPP who served as a cabinet minister under the Dalton McGuinty and Kathleen Wynne governments. Today: We begin our discussion by discussing the landslide leadership victory that Pierre Poilievre earned to become the new leader of the Conservative Party of Canada. He got a whooping 68.15 percent of the vote on the first ballot. In a distant second was Jean Charest who only got 16.07 percent of the vote. But, becoming the head of the official opposition is only half the battle. Does Pierre have what it takes to convince voters across Canada that he is worthy of becoming the next prime minister? Meanwhile, across the pond in England, King Charles III, Canada's new head of state, continues to engage in ceremonies in his new role. He is currently on tour in Ireland. Our panel reflects on the passing of Queen Elizabeth II and ponder the future of the monarchy. ---- RAISING AWARENESS ABOUT ARTHRITIS AND ITS IMPACT ON CANADIANS Libby Znaimer is joined by Trish Barbato, President and CEO of the Arthritis Society of Canada. September is Arthritis awareness month. According to the Arthritis Society of Canada, as many as 6 million Canadians (or 1 in 5 of us) have arthritis. So, what exactly are the symptoms of this health condition and how does ASC support those who are suffering from it? Trish explains. Listen live, weekdays from noon to 1, on Zoomer Radio!

Libby Znaimer is joined by Trish Barbato, President and CEO of the Arthritis Society of Canada. September is Arthritis awareness month.

So, what exactly are the symptoms of this health condition and how does ASC support those who are suffering from it? Trish explains.

Despite the large prevalence of osteoarthritis, there is no clinically approved drug which provides a cure. Currently, drugs focus on relieving symptoms such as pain. Experiments done in the laboratory have provided insight on osteoarthritis onset and progression and will likely guide therapeutic development. We know that osteoarthritis is a disease of the whole organ meaning that any of the tissues involved in the synovial joint can be affected. The interplay between the various cell types involved is complex and understanding the interactions between cartilage, bone and synovium may be critical to therapeutic development. Skeletal development likely plays a very important role in predisposition to disease. Through the identification of serious pathologies such as various forms of dwarfism (what in medical terms are called chondrodysplasias) the role of transcription factors and epigenetics is increasing our understanding of disease genesis.The study of the epigenetics of OA - the mechanism by which the human genome alters it’s gene expression (without changing the primary DNA sequence) has provided valuable information on novel risk factors for the disease and are potential therapeutic targets for OA. On today's show, Dr Frank Beier joins us to discuss the recent advances in osteoarthritis understanding with a particular emphasis on novel targets and epigenetics. Frank Beier is the Canada Research Chair in Musculoskeletal Research at the University of Western Ontario and a member of Western’s Bone and Joint Institute. He is a Professor and Chair of the Department of Physiology and Pharmacology. His lab explores mechanisms controlling cartilage and joint biology, using genetically engineered mice in combination with surgical, dietary and activity manipulations. This is a natural fit with the objectives of the Bone and Joint Institute, an environment that has helped to foster collaborations with fellow researchers from other fields such as clinicians (surgeons, rheumatologists) and imaging scientists. As an engaged member of the Institute’s Operations Committee, Dr. Beier sees value in Institute priorities that improve his training program and that support the acquisition of additional research funds. Dr. Beier has published over 100 peer-reviewed articles and gave 100 invited presentations. His work is supported by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (from which he won a foundation award in the inaugural competition in 2015) and The Arthritis Society. He was a member of the Board of Directors of the Osteoarthritis Research Society International and several editorial boards, including the Deputy Editor for Osteoarthritis & Cartilage. He was the Chair of the 2017 Cartilage Gordon Conference and won the OARSI Basic Science award in 2019.

It's interesting to note that one of the things preventing accelerated giving in North America is the retention of talent. Donors have said that the reason why they are no longer able to give donations is that their contacts in organizations keep changing. This poses a threat to the fundraising activities of organizations which is why Aaron Sanderson says that it is crucial for team members to build rapport with donors not for themselves but for their specific organization. He says that cultivating these relationships should be the main priority of fundraising leaders, the question is, how do they motivate their team members to do this?

Eileen Davidson always knew about arthritis, her grandmother and aunt had it. She never really understood her grandmothers need for double knee replacement surgery or her aunt's true reason for her wheelchair until Eileen was also diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis at 29. Having to kiss her late 20s goodbye was only the beginning, Eileen ended up losing her ability to work as an esthetician. By the time her pain was taken seriously, she was eligible for long-term disability. Devastated by the tolls arthritis was taking on her life, matters only got worse when she received a diagnosis for Osteoarthritis. Having to come to terms with both her RA and OA diagnosis, Eileen decided to fight this invisible enemy, not just for herself, but for her young son, Jacob, whom she is the single mother of. After more than a dozen medications, including biologics, and a healthy dieting leading to 60 lbs loss, she has finally found some relief. It also prepared her for her diagnosis of Fibromyalgia. Eileen wants to share the benefits of living a healthy lifestyle to those struggling with chronic pain and fatigue. She is passionate about creating awareness for arthritis. In late 2016, she became an ambassador for The Arthritis Society and created blog www.chroniceileen.com. Within one year she has been published in Reader's Digest Canada, Inked Magazine, written for Healthline and The Mighty. Everyday Health recognized her blog as one of the top ten arthritis blogs, she isn't near finished. Patient advocacy has given Eileen a new outlook on life and keeps her moving forward. Her goal is to help those struggling with chronic illness to live better, healthier lives. Arthritis Research Canada plays a major role in that.
