Understanding and overcoming the inertia preventing change at work
Those feelings you’re feeling? They are a result of contact between the way things are in the organizations we work for and the way things are going to be.
The organization you work for is not organized to make change happen. It’s organized to continue doing the work the way it has always done the work.
“There Might Be Something Happening in the Universe” is a booklet to help you understand and overcome inertia at work.

A (practical no-nonsense) guide to better networking at professional and community events for healthcare administrators
Prepare and execute a networking strategy to meet the people you want to meet
No one likes networking. Yet we all enjoy the benefit of having a network.
One of the best places to meet new people with similar professional interests outside your usual circle is the networking time during a professional or community event.
Whether you’re attending out of obligation, considered choice, or somewhere inbetween, it’s worth optimizing your networking approach so you can meet who you want to meet.
Be a Better Meeting Attendee
While all of us are begging for fewer meetings so we can actually get some work done, for at least one person at each meeting you attend, that meeting is how they are getting their work done. Meetings are (probably) how you get work done, too.
Here are a few questions to ask yourself before and after your next meeting as an attendee. Being intentional about your responsibilities will help you make (more) change happen.
