Webinar: The Six Biggest Reasons Why Strategy and Execution Fail
1-2:30 p.m. EST, Tuesday, March 26 What's more important to your organization than its strategic plan? Probably nothing. Plan and implement well, and you'll drive the organization to unparalleled success. One misstep, though, and it's game over. To help you create a...
Soft Skills, the Other Half of the Equation
In 2013, I will celebrate 20 years of being an entrepreneur. In 1993 when we started our focus was on the recruiting side, but over the years our business has become strictly focused on transition. It was initially only external transition, but now involves internal...
Providing reassurance, new options and superior knowledge of the transition process
Kyle and I just returned from an eight-day engagement with an organization that will probably be purchased by a for-profit system. This particular hospital is faith-based and has been part of this community for a very long time. I have had the privilege of working...
Staying the Course
Let's call this a sequel to my blog on Adhering to the Process. As most of you are aware I just returned from Denver and a successful completion of my second half marathon. I have attached a few pictures from that event in the charity section of the website. The...
An Essential Component – Exercise
Transition provides a great opportunity for many changes and I am talking about good changes. A great opportunity to find some balance, and one area to enhance, is exercise. We owe it to ourselves and the ones who love us to get involved. I have personally benefited...
Adhering to the Process
I am not naïve enough to suggest that every process is perfect, but I am convinced that well-thought-out ones, when followed, produce outstanding results on a consistent basis. My question and challenge to you today is why do we ignore them and attempt to circumvent...
Controllable/non-controllable and desires/goals

Being Introspective in Your Career Changes
Another thought from my stay in Chicago at the ACHE meeting. Over the years, I have discussed this situation with many candidates and interestingly it has come up several times over the last month. When you are with an organization and you've reached the crossroads....
The Lost Art of Networking
I recently came back from the American College of Healthcare Executives meeting in Chicago. I go every year and always enjoy my time there, especially this year when the temperatures reached every day somewhere between 75 and 85°. I always take this time to meet with...
Thanks for the Networking
Jim, I want to publically thank you for your efforts on my behalf over the years. (This is long overdue by the way.) The network has been extremely valuable in a number of ways. From a professional point of view I have met many network members from whom I have gained...
Running the Job Search “Race”
When Jim related the response of his race partner to a network blast regarding the race they ran together during our staff meeting, everyone on the call (we all work virtual) agreed that having Jim as your running partner was no different than having Jim as your job...
Colfax Half Marathon
So many of you inquired about my run in Denver that I felt compelled to give a report for those that did inquire, but also for those who may not have known about it. This will prevent me from missing someone. Rick Newsome and I had run a marathon relay back in...
