You will learn the importance of knowing what you are walking into, culture, working with staff, embracing good governance, and working with a Board.

Twenty-eight percent of young employees are frequently or constantly feeling burned out at work, a 7 percent increase over older generations. More specifically, seven in 10 Millennials experience at least some burnout at work. More than 90 percent of Generation Z prefer to have a human element to their teams, either working solely with innovative co-workers or with co-workers and new technologies.
Your organization has a powerful story to tell and so do you. Finding your message and your story takes the curiosity of a child and the heart of a warrior. We can train you to think like a journalist to capture the stories that speak to the heart of what you do and drive results. We all want to see ourselves in other people and we often make sense of the world through shared experiences. Stories help us connect on a human level. They make complex issues real for us by putting a human face on them. They inspire. They engage. Through stories, we move people to think, feel and do. We'll show you the storytelling techniques you've seen in your favorite movies and novels and share how you can use them to tell your medical society's story.
