During this informative session, Dr. Darvin Hege, Psychologist, with Sean Vojtask, Executive Vice President of Operations and Deborah Frazier, HealthCare Executive, both with BlueWave Computing, discuss the importance of Healthcare IT… all brought to you by HealthGate.

Each day amazing new technology tools are being released that can help practices increase revenue, improve proficiencies, reduce costs and improve patient outcomes. For this reason, the dependency on healthcare technology is rapidly changing. With this comes new software tools, mobile devices, telemedicine, connection into HIE’s, new HIPAA/HITECH/OMBNIBUS rules, and reformed payment models – each with a dependency on each other. The foundation to make all of this data secure, and provide reliable access, rests on the network infrastructure itself.

Dr. Tim Morrison, the host of Write Here, Write Now, is also the president of Write Choice Services. This show provides listeners with an opportunity to hear from and learn about the independent contractors affiliated with Write Choice Services. Vanessa Lowry, permanent guest host of Write Here, Write Now, interviews Betsy Rhame-Minor, Jamie Bailey and Emily Lees. Discover how each of these individuals found their way to being an independent contractor with Write Choice Services; what their particular area of interest is in writing; the type of client project they enjoy working on.

Game-Changing Strategies for Legendary Leadership!

00:00 /

In this edition of Global Leader Radio!™, we discuss how to develop into a legendary leader by staying relevant and legitimate – both personally and professionally. Alvin C. Miles interviewed Carl Jefferson as he shared several game-changing leadership strategies that can help us grow from being “legends in our own mind”, to becoming “legends in our own time.”

Here are seven takeaways from our discussion:

“Business is the business of relationships!”
Think differently about change.
Stay current and relevant through development, reading & education.
“Becoming comfortable can produce a false sense of being legendary.”
Consider using the “A-B-C-D rule” when motivating others.
Leaders should be aware of who they are first.
Customize your strategy to ensure you are serving others individually.

Carl provides great insight to help you think more like a global leader of the future. Add his ideas to your leadership toolkit to help increase YOUR influence. Leadership IS a conversation!
