Donato J. Tramuto, a well-recognized CEO, business leader, philanthropist, author, and a man I am lucky to now call my friend will join me in The Locher Room.Donato is the former CEO of Tivity Health and is widely recognized for his commitment to social change and transformational leadership in healthcare innovation that led the New York Times to deem him “a global health activist.”He is also the founder and chair of The Tramuto Porter Foundation which advances young people's rights to education and healthcare access and combats human right violations. He launched the foundation in memory his two friends and their 3-year-old son who lost their lives on 9/11 when United Flight 175 crashed into the South Tower. Donato was scheduled to be on that flight, but due to an unforeseen issue he never boarded the plane. As small worlds would have it, those same friends Donato lost were also the same three friends I knew and lost on that fateful day. By random coincidence, Donato & I were introduced this year and I am grateful to have met him especially since we have such a powerful connection.Since the launch of the foundation, over 100 young adults have received a Tramuto Porter Foundation Scholarship to pursue their dream of a College Education and many organizations have received financial and partnership support helping them deliver on their promise to make the world a more equitable place.On April 5th, Donato released his second book –THE DOUBLE BOTTOM LINE: How Compassionate Leaders Captivate Hearts and Deliver Results, He makes the case that if companies begin to focus on their people as much as on their bottom line, their bottom line will strengthen as a result. There are so many lessons to learn from this incredible book.Don't miss the chance to meet this incredibly smart, insightful, and compassionate human being in The Locher Room.Original Airdate: 10/5/2022

Bringing Hospitality to Healthcare with Sarah Richardson, SVP, Chief Digital & Information Officer for Tivity Health and host Dr. Nick. Beyond all the systemic problems in healthcare, there is an aspect of the experience that is just not fully thought out. If you have not experienced healthcare in the first person, lucky you. But even then you may have seen healthcare through the eyes of a relative or friend at the periphery. Overlaying a poor user experience on top of declining health and bad news of health status just adds unnecessarily to the misery. Sarah was born in the hospitality industry and has brought that to healthcare at Tivity Health. There are big hills to climb and challenges to face in our world and especially in healthcare but as Sarah points out “Together anything is possible”. Take that moment to breathe, re-energize yourself and work to find those small or micro opportunities and wins for the individual, the department, and the system. Your better pill to swallow is to anchor on the common goals of bringing about positive change to align everyone in your organization. They are not just employees and workers. They are also mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters as well as friends, patients, and caregivers. Building a diverse team will help bring equitable accessible healthcare to everyone so we can all live our best life.

Donato J. Tramuto is an American healthcare executive, global health activist, author and former CEO of Tivity Health. Donato's first book was released in 2016, “Life's Bulldozer Moments: How Adversity Can Lead to Success in Life and Business.” His latest book, “The Double Bottom Line,” is an Amazon Best Seller. Donato is a recipient of the prestigious RFK Ripple of Hope and the RFK Embracing His Legacy Award, for his endless dedication to improving the lives of others. In this episode, Donato discusses the nuances of hardship, developing compassion, being yourself, understanding your associates, and using tenderness to establish trust before relying on tenacity.      https://bit.ly/TLP-321   Key Takeaways [2:20] Donato lost most of his hearing at age eight, for ten years, and had a severe speech impediment until he was 17. The loss of his hearing created in him an enormous sense of compassion for people. [4:14] For his latest book, The Double Bottom Line, Donato, and his team interviewed 41 world leaders and surveyed 1,500 employees across the country. Their research revealed that compassionate leaders need to do more than understand others' pain. They need empathy in action to impact others.[6:24] The Double Bottom Line is not just a business book. Donato shares a life experience. In the book, he tells the reader, “Listen to understand, don't listen to react.” Donato suggests that if we practice compassionate leadership in our daily lives, we'll take it into our business lives. [8:04] Jan recalls recent guest Michael Bungay Stanier speaking about being compassionate, generous, and kind every day. Jan stresses the difference between being compassionate and being nice. Donato says, “If you want to be liked in a company, you're probably better to go out and get 100 golden retrievers! Compassionate leadership is not just about being nice.” [9:38] Donato advocates three Ts: approach your organization with Tenderness first, to get the Trust. Then you can use Tenacity. When making tough decisions, don't start with tenacity. You gain trust by taking the time to understand each person in your organization. [10:42] As the CEO of Healthways (Tivity), Donato avoided the CEO elevator to ride the regular elevator. He shares an event that unfolded from him asking an employee in the elevator how his day was going. Donato would not have known the employee needed help had he not asked the question. Ask questions to get answers beyond, “I'm OK.” [11:52] Form deep relationships with your associates. Generation Z and Millennials will form 60‒65% of the workforce and they require compassionate leadership or they will leave. People are reflecting on their lives in ways we have never seen in our lifetime. [13:07] In Donato's last year as CEO of Tivity Health, he took a hard line with an executive in front of nine other executives just before a flight. He felt miserable about it. When his plane landed, he got off and called the executive to apologize to her. Because of that apology, their relationship blossomed. With compassionate leadership, you feel better, you don't take problems home, and you gain credibility! [15:42] Jim quotes Dale Carnegie, who said, “Be interested, not interesting.” [16:36] Donato is thrilled to announce that the Boston University School of Public Health is going to convert The Double Bottom Line: How Compassionate Leaders Captivate Hearts and Deliver Results, into a curriculum to teach compassion. Many of the leaders Donato interviewed were not born with compassion. They learned it through someone in their family or a teacher. The book is a resource. [17:26] There is an opportunity to train our current and future leaders on how to lead from the heart. Donato's book has assignments at the end of each chapter to help individuals understand the key nuggets of using compassion. Donato's commitment for the next 20 years is to expand this movement beyond the book and to help leaders see the key ingredients to being compassionate. [20:22] Millennials and Generation Z are demanding a totally different approach to the work environment. Leaders will have to step up and embrace that change or they will be losing significant talent; they won't be as competitive or as effective. The success of The Double Bottom Line is a validation of compassionate leadership. Institutions are asking Donato for training. The time is right. [22:51] Donato proposes a Chief Compassionate Leader Officer for the C-Suite. Boards have got to be willing to ask these questions about culture and trust, to validate that the organization is moving in this direction, as opposed to always looking at a spreadsheet. [25:36] What is the right amount of empathy, vs. making hard decisions? Empathy overload means getting too deep into the situation, clouding your ability to make hard decisions. [27:06] When you ask to understand and have gotten to the issue, then you need to come to an agreement and consensus with “and,” not “but.” “I understand your issues, and how do we work together to make sure that your needs are met and the needs of the organization are met?” When Donato has taken that approach, they always got to an end result that worked for both parties. [30:24] Establishing trust comes before results. Donato asks permission to help. Once he had a board member, who was not behaving well, refuse to receive some constructive insight. She said, “No. You're not my coach.” Trust was not established. The board member did not have a favorable outcome; she was later asked to leave the board. Ask for permission to provide constructive insight and most will agree. [32:40] When is it appropriate to address spirituality in the workplace? Donato believes our connection to a spiritual force influences how we behave. If you are a spiritual person, it's not something to be embarrassed by. The world is increasingly secular. People who do not focus on spirituality may otherwise have positive values that guide their behavior for good. Be who you are. [34:40] Until 2014, when he received the RFK recognitions, Donato had not shared with anyone that he was gay and had a partner. In front of 2,000 people, 500 of whom were his employees, he thanked his loving partner of 23 years. The audience stood to applaud. The more you are who you are, the more you develop an understanding in the workforce that you're like the other person in many ways. [37:07] Do people look favorably upon expressions of faith? If you emphasize too much one facet of who you are, then you make it an issue. Donato shares many facets of himself in case someone has one of those facets in common with him. [41:20] Start to look at what you and your associates have in common. You will begin to realize that there is very little that is different about you. Take the time to understand the other person. [43:20] Age discrimination is real. The average CEO is 59 years old. They hire their executive team from the same age group. Until we are willing to diversify the executive team, we will not integrate the values of the different generations to build an incredible team. Donato has just hired a terrific 23-year-old manager and he has learned a lot from her. Ten years ago, he would not have hired one of her age. [46:55] The organization's values should not be decided only by the executive team. Donato tells of changing a company's 10 hard-to-remember values established by executive leadership into five carefully organized and prioritized values developed with the participation of the associates. [47:34] Don't choose when to be compassionate. Show compassion to everyone. Be compassionate all the time, just as a pilot flies a plane in a safe manner all the time. [48:35] Donato's challenge to listeners: There are many issues affecting us today. Start every single day by asking a friend or family member, “Tell me what you're experiencing today.” After you've listened and you've heard them, do something! Kindness and compassion are the new currency of the century. [50:40] Closing quote: “Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.” — Robert F. Kennedy.   Quotable Quotes “The fluency you're hearing today was not there when I was 17. … I share that with you because I think that part of leadership is being … comfortable with your story. Too many people … don't really understand the steps that led to the successful position you might have.” “You rent your title; you own your dignity.” “If you want to be a compassionate leader, you must have empathy in action to have impact.” “Listen to understand. Understand what the other person might be going through.” “Everyone that you meet most likely is having a more difficult time than you.” “You want deep relationships with your associates. And by the way, we are now faced with five generations in the workforce. Generation Z and the Millennials will soon dominate — 60‒65% of the workforce. If you're not changing as a leader, guess what, you're going to be losing out.” “Part of compassionate leadership is doing some self-reflection. You're not always going to be right and when you are wrong and you admit to it you will gain an enormous amount of credibility.” “My favorite philosopher Yogi Berra once said, ‘You don't want to make the wrong mistake.'” “With five generations now in the workforce, and Millennials and the Gen Z-ers demanding a totally different approach to the work environment, I think that we're going to have to step up and begin to embrace that change or we're going to be losing some significant talent.” “A significant portion of [the Great Resignation] is related to feeling good, and passionate, and putting a soul in your company. … If the leaders of today cannot embrace that, they're going to be gone.” “We have to be willing to understand that it's not one facet that attracts people to you, it's the entire person who you are, and the more willing you are to share those multiple facets, you begin to develop relationships in different venues.” “You have got to have the [company] values developed by everyone in the organization, otherwise, they are not going to stick. And that's what we did. We brought the 10 values down to five. And … we did prioritize them.” “You show compassion to everyone and you're compassionate all the time! You don't pick and choose when you're compassionate. It's like asking the pilot ‘When do you fly the plane in a safe manner?' You always fly the plane in a safe manner!”   Resources Mentioned Theleadershippodcast.com Sponsored by: Darley.com Rafti Advisors. LLC Self-Reliant Leadership.

Apr 20, 2022  Health improvement, fitness and social engagement solutions have taken the spotlight in a transforming healthcare landscape. With Invest:Insights, President & CEO of Tivity Health Richard Ashworth shared his secrets to cultivating a culture of innovation and creativity, as well as how Tivity Health is uniquely approaching healthcare needs of communities.

"We are finding that putting people first and delivering results are not two separate goals." So says my guest today, Donato Tramuto. Today, we talk about the case for compassionate leadership and how to achieve it. We discussed so much in this very poignant and passionate interview where we each shared some very personal stories and philosophies - Donato talks about how his childhood hearing loss and being bullied sharpened his compassionate character, how he doubled down on purpose and people after experiencing his profound loss on 9/11, and how he has tailored his prestigious career to focus on people and connection first in order to lead to performance and profit. Donato shares the definition of compassionate leadership and how it shows up in action. Why we must update key roles in the organization, such as HR, CEO's, and why much of this starts with the Board itself. We speak about what Gen Z and Millennials bring to the workplace and a new practice he calls "collbovation".  This interview will be all the proof you need that the most successful leaders lead with compassion, not ego. SO MANY PROFOUND GEMS you'll want to write down and keep by your workspace - enjoy! Key Takeaways:To avoid empathy overload, use Donato's Three T Concept: Tenderness, Tenacity and Tough Decisions. It doesn't matter how much you did or how much you will do, what matters is that you did something. If every person could do a little more good in the world, the world would be a wonderful place. Compassionate leadership has to be a two-way street. You must be empathetic in the face of disagreeing and in finding common ground even in the face of adversity. You have to ask the questions that allow you to understand the other person's pain.  "You rent your title; you own your dignity.  I've never looked at my life by the title that I have but by its purpose, meaning and problems that have to be solved." —  Donato Tramuto About Donato Tramuto, CEO, Business Leader, Innovator, and Philanthropist:Donato Tramuto is a global health activist, former CEO of Tivity Health, and founder of the Tramuto Foundation and Health eVillages. He was the recipient of the prestigious Robert F. Kennedy Ripple of Hope Award in 2014, alongside Hillary Clinton, Robert De Niro, and Tony Bennett, and the 2017 Robert F. Kennedy Embracing His Legacy Award. In his new book, The Double Bottom Line: How Compassionate Leaders Captivate Hearts and Deliver Results Tramuto makes the case that compassion is a key leadership principle that:- Powerfully drives trust, success, and innovation;- Raises morale, builds stronger teams, and improves overall performance;- Creates sustainable commitment to an organization's mission and values.Tramuto interviewed nearly 40 successful leaders who practice compassionate leadership and reveals the best strategies from their playbooks. He then combined these interviews with his own insights, numerous studies, and original, qualitative research of 1,500 participants to unleash the measurable data and benefits of compassion in the workplace. Connect with Donato TramutoLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/donato-tramuto-71594344/Book: The Double Bottom Line: How Compassionate Leaders Captivate Hearts and Deliver Results (Fast Company Press)  Don't forget to download your free guide!

Donato Tramuto is a Compassionate Leadership Activist, Global Health Advocate, former CEO of Tivity Health, Founder of the Tramuto Porter Foundation, and author of a second book - ‘The Double Bottom Line: How Compassionate Leaders Captivate Hearts and Deliver Results.' Donato believes that employees, consumers, and stakeholders are demanding that employers take care of their people, their communities, and the world around them. There's a strong imperative for employers to focus on their people as well as on profit, and, Donato maintains, by focussing on their people they will actually strengthen their bottom line. Donato lost most of his hearing when he was eight years of age. And for nearly ten years he was to all intents and purposes deaf. In consequence he was bullied at school and at home. His sister-in-law died in childbirth and his brother and nephew died in a car accident. Two close friends and their child lost their lives on 9/11. The experience of these tragedies has given Donato a degree of insight into the sufferings of others. Donato believes compassion to be a driver of success: greater employee involvement leads to improved productivity, and better employer and manager wellbeing, and morale. His book is underpinned by interviews with 41 global leaders, and a survey of 1,500 US employees. Donato maintains that the idea that compassionate leadership is weak leadership is a myth. His model of compassionate leadership is based on the three ‘t's of tenderness, trust, and tenacity. In the absence of trust, tough decisions meet with resistance. Gaining trust involves listening to understand. Donato would propose to dispense with the word “feedback”, which he feels has negative connotations. He prefers “constructive insight” and moreover would always ask permission of the employee before providing it. Donato says vulnerability is “a significant quality associated with compassionate leadership.” He didn't embrace it fully until 2014, when he received a Robert F Kennedy “Ripple of Hope Award” and took the opportunity to acknowledge that he was gay and had been in a partnership for 25 years. He launched two not-for-profit foundations in response to the loss of his friends aboard United flight 175 on 9/11. The Tramuto-Porter Foundation helps disadvantaged children pursue a college education. In 2011 Donato initiated Healthy Villages, which provides medical devices to populations that have compromised access to healthcare. Donato's book has been well received in the US, which he believes reflects “a thirst for new leadership” and also the situation of many people as the US emerges from the pandemic, for example loneliness is “the new chronic condition of the 21st Century.” Donato is engaged in a dialogue with Boston University School of Public Health who are planning to base a curriculum on the book. Like Stephen Trzeciak, a former guest on the Compassionate Leadership Interview, he believes compassion can and should be taught. Two people who have inspired Donato on his journey are Pope John Paul II and Robert F Kennedy. He says they both demonstrated that life is not about doing great things, but about doing small things that have the capacity to generate great change. A book that Donato would recommend to aspiring leaders is ‘The Seven-Storey Mountain' by Thomas Merton. Donato considers self-care is first and foremost about a sense of fulfilment, which in turn arises from the love, joy, and peace one finds in serving others. His advice to his 20-year-old self would be “never ever forfeit the opportunity to build a relationship with someone” and “be yourself… it's a lot easier.”

Each day in healthcare, data becomes more valuable, more useful, and more important to a healthcare organization. It's easy to see that the future of healthcare rests on the back of data. The problem is that data in and of itself isn't useful. We need clean, usable data that we trust to really make a difference in healthcare. This was the topic of discussion in a recent interview I did with Colin Banas, M.D., M.H.A., Chief Medical Officer at DrFirst, Paul Grundy, M.D., M.P.H., Advisor at Grundy Consulting, and Sarah Richardson, CHCIO, Chief Information Officer at Tivity Health. Where do we stand when it comes to health data and how does sharing health information impact the quality of that data.

In this episode, Ed interviews CIO of Tivity Health and Life Coach, Sarah Richardson. They discuss her role as CIO, their outlooks on executives in the healthcare industry and the role they play, and how being a life coach has impacted her executive position. 

In this episode, Sarah Richardson talks with Russ about her transition to work at Tivity Health, where her passion for wellness can fuse with her knowledge of digital healthcare on a mission to improve life for seniors. Richardson applauds a turn toward authenticity in corporate culture, as the stresses of COVID require us to be human, discard the façades, and find out how we are all really doing. She offers valuable tips on how to stay connected in virtual workspaces and how to get started on your own journey toward wellness and happiness.

How to Get Your Kid to Eat (Almost) Everything Most parents have faced the challenge of meeting resistance when introducing a child to new foods. As they grow older, mealtimes can become a battleground where power struggles between parent and child ensue. It doesn't have to be this way. You don't have to be a short-order cook, and you don't have to make food that looks like an art project to get your child to eat something besides "kid-friendly" chicken nuggets and grilled cheese. Instilling healthy eating habits in your little one doesn't have to be a pipe dream. As parents, we want to raise children who don't live on junk food, make healthy choices, and reach for whole foods at snack time. However, many of us go about teaching our toddlers and young children all about how "good for you" these foods are, which can backfire. Enter Julie Revelant, today's guest on A Healthy Bite podcast. Listen as Julie shares some tips for getting more vegetables into your child's diet and reducing angst at the dinner table. Julie advocates instilling healthy eating patterns by modeling them to your child while taking the focus off what the food does and putting it on how it makes you feel. Dinnertime can be a peaceful and enjoyable part of your day! Children can learn to enjoy a variety of foods, including healthy snacks (and veggies) from all the food groups.  that your child refuses to eat right now.  Julie's course promises to turn picky eaters into little foodies. (Although, take note, one of the biggest mistakes she's seen parents make is labeling their toddlers' picky eaters the second they refuse to eat.)
