Introduction to The Art of Showing Up In Action into We! Connect

Being an excellent leader isn't just about what you do, it's about how you show up with yourself and others.  At TCN, we refer to this as The Art of Showing Up.  One highly important and nuanced question for leaders today is, "How do I promote resilience and excellence given the constant stream of stress and trauma impacting our communities?"  The Art of Showing Up in Action will focus on this question.  We'll meet 3 times.  Today, we'll start with an introduction to the concepts.

No Margin No Mission: Finance for Non-Financial Managers
with Annette Kiser and Noy Xaysanavongphet

Both clinical and financial leaders have important roles in helping ensure the financial success of the organization. Financial leaders can help educate clinical staff about the interplay of payer sources, finances, and patient care services. Clinical leaders need to understand how relatedness and coverage decisions impact reimbursement in and payments out. Do you understand what a balance sheet is?  What about an income statement?  We will cover these in terms any leader can understand as you don’t need an MBA to understand the numbers. The challenge for most leaders is they have never had it explained to them in a way that helps them see how their day-to-day actions impact the financial reports.  We will do that together and you will get an opportunity to put these newfound skills to work in our simulation on Day 5. Let’s talk about these important topics so the organization can continue its mission!

Communication Rules of the Road
with Annette Kiser and Rochelle LaGrow

Decisions, decisions, decisions! Do I use Teams, Outlook, Gmail, SharePoint, Yammer, or some other method for communicating with my colleagues? How do I convey the need for a prompt response to my communication? What can I do to increase the likelihood of my message being read? Communication overload is real, but by using rules and tips you can reduce the risk of your important information being lost in the shuffle.
