Today, Peg is joined by Heather Younker, RDN, CSO, a dietician at the John Theurer Cancer Center at Hackensack University Medical Center.  We cover all things related to Graft vs. Host Disease and diet. Nutrition is important for everyone, but especially those with GVHD, in order to prevent malnutrition and other issues.  Registered dieticians and nutritionists can be key in a multidisciplinary approach. It's important to keep your entire health care team in the loop so they can be aware of all issues. GVHD can present in many different ways and at any time.Symptom management is key for Heather and her coworkers.  This can be gastrointestinal issues related to GVHD, or side effects from various medications. Sometimes, this can cause a fear of eating, which can result in unhealthy weight loss and muscle mass. Sometimes food sensitivities can develop, such as one to lactose.  Maybe digestive enzymes are needed, or a change in diet.Oral care is also important, as GVHD can affect the mouth, teeth and throat.  Maybe softer foods are needed.  Maybe you'll need to stay away from acidic, citrus-ey foods.  Maybe pureeing foods can be helpful.   Heather even mentions a patient who pureed his whole breakfast of sausages, eggs and rice!Sometimes nutritional supplements like Ensure, Boost, or Orgain can be used to add calories and nutrients to the diet. And when it comes to smoothies, Heather prefers homemade to store-bought so that you can have more control over the ingredients.Hydration is important for everyone, but especially GVHD patients.   You need to moisturize your system inside and out, and there are many ways to do this besides just water.  Antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables are also key.Sometimes patients struggle with loss of appetite and other symptoms.  One way to ensure you're getting your needed calories, protein, vitamins, and other nutrients can be to eat smaller meals throughout the day instead of three large ones.  When your GVHD is active, you actually need more calories and nutrients.  And of course, exercise is key.Resources:Hackensack John Theurer Cancer Center: https://www.hackensackmeridianhealth.org/en/Services/Cancer-Care?fbclid=IwAR0ANqlbRxjJs_yJVG8YxzS9LW2YefeSBNzmmeJG85UyPZeVMM9KUbepY3QNational Institutes of Health (NIH) website: https://www.nih.gov/American Institute for Cancer Research: https://www.aicr.org/National Bone Marrow Transplant Link - (800) LINK-BMT, or (800) 546-5268.nbmtLINK Website: https://www.nbmtlink.org/nbmtLINK Facebook Page:  https://www.facebook.com/nbmtLINKnbmtLINK YouTube Page can be found by clicking here.Thank you to this season's sponsors:Pharmacylics: https://www.pharmacyclics.com/Janssen: https://www.janssen.com/Kadmon: https://kadmon.com/Sanofi: https://www.sanofi.com/

Meetings… Performance Management Litmus Test: Four Questions to Ask Employees  A Bright Idea: Peer Mentoring for Growth and Support for Leaders Biggest Struggles for Leaders in the Area of Performance Management  One Thing You Should Always Do When Having Tough Conversations Timing on Recording: @ 4:44--- Topic #1:  Ron Younker's Background and How to Hold Those Tough Conversations Will often have “constructive tension” Create safety Describe the behaviors - Use the litmus test of “Did I hear it, did I see it?”   Ask the person what s/he thinks Listen actively Remember: having the conversation is a gift you are giving the employee Be sure to remember to recognize people for great work.  (Gallup Research)   Match the recognition to the person.  (DISC Styles overview video here.)  Breaking down development: 70%  is through experience, 20% comes from mentoring and coaching, 10% training Help employees move through problems/experiences or pair them up with a mentor, don't just throw people into training. Timing on Recording: @  32:40 --- Topic #2: The Power and Simplicity of Holding ‘How's it Going?' Meetings… Scheduled meetings with employees to stay in touch – make them a regular expectation. Used to stay in tune with employees – what hurdles they are facing. Hold more of these if you are in an active coaching situation – meet weekly.  But if there are no real issues you can meet every 2-3 weeks. Let them start… Usually 30-45 minutes long.  Always asking, at the end, “What can I do?" Leadership is about enabling people to get their work done. Timing on Recording: @  36:36 --- Topic #3: Performance Management Litmus Test: Four Questions to Ask Employees 1) What are the objectives you are trying to achieve? 2) What are the behaviors and values your department is focused on? 3) How are you doing? 4) What are you doing to get better? Timing on Recording:  @  44:10 --- Topic #4: A Bright Idea: Peer Mentoring for Growth and Support for Leaders Create a “Board” of 2-3 peer leaders. Consider these folks as your accountability partners. Confidential discussions.Talk about real issues and challenges and sharing of best practices. This helps develop a common mindset among all of your leaders. A lot of companies keep safety at the forefront of their work.  We hold meetings about safety every week and month.  There is a continuous dialogue. As leaders we ought to doing the same thing so that it all stays fresh so that we're sharing best practices and always learning. Timing on Recording: @ 50:15 --- Topic #5: Biggest Struggles for Leaders in the Area of Performance Management Letting problems fester by turning our heads - do not have the courage to have the conversation – must display courage. Must realize that having the conversation is a gift you are giving that employee.   Let wise people who've done it before – show you how to do it. Timing on Recording: @  53:53 --- Topic #6: One Thing You Should Always Do When Having Tough Conversations Take great notes. --- Write out the conversation in advance – this will help you have the courage.  --- Create thoughtful notes for recognition and development. --- Demonstrates respect. Timing on Recording: @  58:30 --- Topic #7: Final Notes and Recommended Resources The Annual Review discussion should never be a surprise.
