Procrastination can have benefits in business if reframed and used strategically. It is often driven by fear of failure or the desire for perfection. However, when we finally take action, we often realize that the process wasn't as bad as we imagined. Procrastination can also provide a learning period and allow for improvements to be made before launching a product or service. It can also be an opportunity for a relaunch, bringing new energy and updates to a project. In this episode, we share our own experience of procrastination and how we turned it into an advantage for our business.

She touches on the challenges and necessary shifts in healthcare market dynamics, emphasizing that true value is determined through bi-directional conversations between providers and end-users, like patients and plan sponsors. Stacey concludes with a call to action for listeners to reflect on their support networks and consider supporting valuable media and publications. To read the show notes with the mentioned links visit the epsiode page. If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to subscribe to the free weekly newsletter to be a member of the Relentless Tribe. I want to drop a thank you right here to those who have left a tip in our tip jar and/or offer up a monthly contribution. From the bottom of my heart, thanks for the support. Thank you to Dr. Scott Tromanhauser, Marilyn Bartlett, Ann Kempski, Dr. Matthew Bunte. Also, thank you to Brian Uhlig, Dr. William Gailmard, Dr. John Lee, Dr. Paula Muto, and Linda Krebs. Plus everyone else who left a lesser amount. You guys are my village, and this matters because, as it's been said by me and others a million times, it will take a village to transform healthcare. So, if you haven't already done so, because … yeah, Thanksgiving, consider who is on your own list of villagers to thank right about now in your world. So, yeah, long story long, all the more thanks to everyone who has donated to our tip jar, who has written a nice review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, or who interacts with our posts on LinkedIn. Thank you. This is how pods like this and any of the publications that you like are able to continue. It's also, if you want to get really “why do givers succeed” about it, it's through these interactions that like 99% of guests I'd estimate who get invited on a podcast, probably any podcasts, come from, or who likely get their name in any publication come from. As I said, this is true for this pod at least. But I would say that who are most hosts or most reporters going to reach out to when they need information or insight and are looking to quote somebody? It's gonna be somebody that they know. It's gonna be somebody that they like. So, giving, the healthcare industry. This is the actual point I wanted to make before I completely distracted myself. And I talked about this at length actually at a recent thINc360 panel about delivering better patient outcomes. So, collaborate, give. And thank you to all of you who do both of these things every day, despite the cognitive dissonance and corporate forces and the lack of time and resources that may plague your efforts. I appreciate you very, very much. And it is this gang—the Relentless Tribe, that listens to this show—it is you who will transform healthcare. It's really you. And again, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you. 01:33 How do you calculate the number of people you've helped? 02:46 Why is giving so important within healthcare? 03:16 Interview with Adam Grant. 05:47 How can you be a better giver? 07:50 Who is in charge of the bidirectional conversation of value? 11:35 Why is collaboration so important to value and being a giver? 12:58 Why is it important that plan sponsors are a part of all this giving and collaboration? 13:22 Encore! EP415 with Rob Andrews. 14:34 Summer Shorts 8 with Larry Bauer, MSW, MEd. 15:08 INBW39 with Stacey on the narcissism of small differences. 15:12 EP399 and EP400 with Stacey.

No doubt, every single company is jumping into the AI wagon and starting to implement it in various business disciplines; however, little do they know that AI might not be the best solution for them at this point, although AI carries enormous benefits for every business should it be applied ✅correctly. I have correctly in BOLD because this is the key to benefiting from the considerable potential an AI solution will give any business, whether small or a Fortune 500 company.Implementing those multi-million dollar solutions will require significant resources, workforce, infrastructure, and energy; it's the same as building a large tower. You can have a state-of-the-art design, style, entrances, and exits, but if your foundation is not correct, you end up with two options: either the tower will not last for long, or the building will collapse, and you will need to start again from the rubble. This is where you will stand and scratch your head, thinking, what went wrong?ا شك أن كل شركة تقفز إلى عربة الذكاء الاصطناعي وتبدأ في تطبيقه في مختلف المجالات التجارية؛ ومع ذلك، لا يعرفون أن الذكاء الاصطناعي قد لا يكون أفضل حل لهم في هذه المرحلة، على الرغم من أن الذكاء الاصطناعي يحمل فوائد هائلة لكل عمل تجاري إذا تم تطبيقه بشكل صحيح. لقد وضعت "بشكل صحيح" بخط عريض لأن هذا هو المفتاح للاستفادة من الإمكانات الكبيرة التي يمكن أن تقدمها حلول الذكاء الاصطناعي لأي عمل تجاري، سواء كان صغيرًا أو شركة ضمن قائمة فورتشن 500.تطبيق هذه الحلول التي تكلف ملايين الدولارات يتطلب موارد كبيرة، وقوى عاملة، وبنية تحتية، وطاقة؛ إنه مثل بناء برج ضخم. يمكنك أن تحصل على تصميم متطور، وأسلوب مميز، ومداخل ومخارج حديثة، ولكن إذا لم تكن الأساسيات صحيحة، فسينتهي بك الأمر بخيارين: إما أن البرج لن يدوم طويلاً، أو أن المبنى سينهار وستحتاج إلى البدء من جديد من الأنقاض. هنا ستقف وتحك رأسك، متسائلًا، ماذا حدث؟ Support the Show.Support the Podcast on:https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/okuwatly?locale.x=en_UShttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/MaBa3refSubscribe to Maba3ref Newsletter:https://maba3refbranching.beehiiv.com/Connect with Maba3ref Podcast:https://www.instagram.com/maba3refbyomarConnect on TIKTOK:https://www.tiktok.com/@okuwatly

This episode continues our conversation about Friendships started in Ep 131 with NoorJehan Tourte which got us started with her terrific episode: True to you: embracing authenticity in friendships. Some great questions emerged like the one we'll cover today: What is it about work friends that make them so special? Here are the three takeaways from today's episode: 1. Work friendships and their impact on mental wellness are often over-looked. Research indicates that having a best friend at work can lead to higher job satisfaction and a more meaningful connection to the workplace. And a heck of a lot more fun! 2. The evolving attitudes towards friendships, especially among younger generations like Gen Z and millennials, challenge traditional relationship hierarchies. They are prioritizing friendships over romance! 3. The traditional networking model may note resonate with everyone but by questioning and examining our beliefs, we can potentially find a more authentic approach to building meaningful professional connections.

One hundred years of research tells us that a bump in salary does not impact employee engagement. In fact, MIT recently published findings showing that how appreciated employees feel has three times more influence on their decision to stay or leave a job than compensation. Not only does this reduce the cost of turnover, but companies that pay attention to their human capital outperform others. Dr. Paul White joins Kevin to discuss the 5 Languages of Appreciation in the workplace. These include Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Acts of Service, Tangible Gifts, and Physical Touch. The implementation of appreciation isn't a top-down process. It starts with education, creating a shared language among team members, and then grows naturally. It's about connecting people and recognizing them for who they are, not just their work.

It's a multicultural story, of people doing what they could, given the circumstances, and not just thinking of themselves, but of thinking more of the whole." — Janice Munemitsu MARIA'S COURSELearn more about Maria's new Brand Story Breakthrough course, starting September 8.

This is the true story of two immigrant families who came to Southern California for better lives, only to face their own separate battles against racism in the midst of World War II. One family came by land from Mexico and the other by sea from Japan. Little did they expect their paths would meet and lead to justice and desegregation for all the school children of California in Mendez, et. al v. Westminster (1947) - seven years before Brown v. Board of Education (1954).Janice is a third-generation Japanese American Sansei. A native of Orange County, California, she worked on the family farm from age five through high school. She is a graduate of the University of Southern California and Biola University. Janice's book may be purchased on Amazon or Barnes & Noble.

Captains of industry and political pundits who believe the free market economy will save us all love to cite 18th-century social thinker Adam Smith and his book The Wealth of Nations. In it, he championed self-interest and a free market as a catalyst for societal improvement. But he also assumed those with the power and privilege would consider the needs of others within that free market system. Somewhere along the way, his ideas around empathy and moral obligation got stripped away from his economic philosophy. See, back then, the lines were blurred between economists, social thinkers, and philosophers. Today, I talk with Sam Fleischacker, an expert on Adam Smith, to clarify what Smith really thought about a free market and our responsibilities to society within it. We also talk about what is distinctive about Smith's conception of empathy in his own time and how it squares with today. Sam shares how empathy affects Smith's proposals for economic policy, what he had to say about our tendency to empathize more with people we already know and care for than for people very distant from us, and the big question: Should we try to empathize with people we think are evil? To access the episode transcript, please click on the episode title at www.TheEmpathyEdge.comKey Takeaways:Judgment isn't always negative and, in some cases, it can be used to form connections - such as admiring strength of character or showing sensitivity. Consuming art, literature, documentary and other stories of people that have different lives from you is a way to stretch your brain and think more empathetically. You must empathize with people you don't agree with, even those who you consider evil. If you want to have any hope of changing them, you need to do that. You don't have to approve of it, but you have to at least try to understand them. Empathy and criticism are not incompatible. "Smith is very much about thinking about what everybody wants, from their own perspective, that is to say, empathizing with them. And I think that's gotten badly lost on both the left and the right in public policy." — Sam Fleischacker About Sam Fleischacker, LAS Distinguished Professor of PhilosophySam Fleischacker is LAS Distinguished Professor of Philosophy at the University of Illinois in Chicago. He works on moral and political philosophy, and the philosophy of religion. He is the author of nine books, including Adam Smith, Being Me Being You: Adam Smith and Empathy, A Third Concept of Liberty: Judgment and Freedom in Kant and Adam Smith, and On Adam Smith's Wealth of Nations: A Philosophical Companion. He was President of the International Adam Smith Society from 2006 to 2010.References Mentioned:Edwin Rutsch, The Empathy Edge podcast: How Empathy Circles Can Change the WorldDavid Weissman, The Empathy Edge podcast: From MAGA to Jewish Liberal ProgressiveMARIA'S COURSELearn more about Maria's new Brand Story Breakthrough course, starting September 8.
