Unio Health Partners’ Post

We are honored to continue working with leaders at the MD Anderson Cancer Center providing executive and team coaching. MD Anderson has been ranked the BEST hospital in cancer care for 34 years by US News and World Reports. https://lnkd.in/ed_Numt MD Anderson was the largest contract we won as of 2018, and by 2019, it had helped reshape our business model from "me" to "we". In 2019, we began using a team of champions vs. just the Founder, Laurie Hall, MSc, PCC, L6S Blackbelt. Thank you, Laura Licato, PhD, PCC, ITCA, NBC-HWC, for being the first "champion" to the New Horizon Strategies team. Why the word #Champion? Because when we found the right fit for our team, we realized we were all "championing" the same thing...to help bring the professional world alive. Life is too short to not enjoy what you're doing for very long. Doing things that aren't aligned with our purpose create "sleepers", people who have lost linkage to their passion. Since then, we've enjoyed working with, Gary Payne, Sincia Yuebo Shi, Amie Langbein, DO, CPCC, PCC, Patricia M. Porter, Kelly Baughman, Rich McLaughlin, Michael Conteh, M.ED., BCBA, SSBB, PCC, Stanley Ward, Ph.D., Mark Adrian, Angie Wright, PHR, Laurie J. Goetz, David Evans, Joni D. Goodman, CPTD, CDTLF, Amy Hart, Chris McCarthy, Sandhya Lakhanpal, M.A., M.B.A., PMI-ACP®, and Sharon Nasr. It's such an honor to work with people that change the world, one leader, one team, and one organization at a time. :) This picture isn't our whole team, but it's some of us! Thank you so much, NHS Champions!!

I talk a lot about leadership because it really excites me. Usually, I connect it to work stuff, but today I want to talk about leadership in life. This last year was super tough. My wife got diagnosed with breast cancer. She went through surgery, lost her hair, and had a really hard time with the chemotherapy and radiation treatments. But even through all of that, she kept going to our kids' games, got elected to the school board, and never stopped leading at her job. She showed us all how to keep going, no matter what. As a leader, in every facet of her life, she continued to lead, in the midst of it all! And now, she's beaten cancer. We both are beyond happy! When I finally got a chance to stop and reflect, I had to walk through what the past 12 months actually looked like, and not only what they looked like, but what was experienced and how that translated to the lessons learned. There are so many takeaways from the last 12 months, and plenty of lessons learned, but some specific lessons really stood out to me. I learned that my wife’s experience offers such great evidence of the fact that leadership isn't just for work. It's about facing hard stuff and keeping on, showing others how it's done. From my vantage point, my wife displayed real leadership and courage, in so many inspirational ways, and the entire process showed evidence of those facts throughout. Leadership life lesson? Here we go! My wife taught me this lesson over the course of the last 12 months as she fought her battle against cancer. Leadership can take place in the boardroom, at home with your family, on the baseball field, the basketball court, the reality is, leadership exists in every walk of life when you are a leader. A leader is a leader, whenever and wherever they are. #leadership #lifelessons #leadfromrightwhereyouare #cancersucks #facts

Our work as healthcare leaders is personal. From the patients and families who inspire our pipeline and critical work, to the colleagues and teams who help drive innovation forward, authentic leadership can have a lasting impact. As leaders, prioritizing compassion and leading with empathy allows us to better serve others and keep patients as the priority.    I sat down with Authority Magazine to discuss the impact empathy can have on leadership.

After a week at ASCO with colleagues, clinicians, researchers, patient advocates, and individuals living with cancer, I recognize the deep challenges we face in cancer care. We won’t solve these challenges alone, which is why Lorna Davis’s insightful TED Talk resonated with me so deeply. Lorna Davis challenges the traditional concept of hero-based leadership, advocating instead for a collaborative approach that fosters collective success. She eloquently explains that true leadership isn’t about individual heroics but about creating environments where teams can thrive together. One of the most striking points she made was about the power of transparency and vulnerability. Davis emphasizes that leaders who are open and transparent build trust within their teams. By sharing our challenges and uncertainties, we can foster a culture where team members feel safe to do the same, leading to more honest and effective collaboration. Davis also introduces the concept of setting “impossible goals.” These are ambitious targets that cannot be achieved by a single individual but require the collective effort of the entire team. This approach not only pushes the boundaries of what we think is possible but also reinforces the importance of interdependence and trust among team members. In my own work in cancer research, I see the need for interdependence and collaborative leadership daily. It is not one team, one company, or one leader who can tackle this monumental challenge alone. It is the collective effort and synergy across the entire spectrum of healthcare professionals, researchers, patient advocates, and organizations that will drive meaningful advancements. This collaborative approach, rooted in systems thinking and transformational leadership, is what will ultimately lead to better outcomes and give patients the gift of time. Davis's perspective on adaptive leadership further highlights the necessity for leader to be flexible and responsive to the ever-changing landscape of healthcare. By adopting an adaptive mindset, we can better navigate the complexities of cancer care and implement innovative solutions that address the evolving needs of patients. If you work in an environment that is matrixed and complex (don’t we all?), I highly recommend this talk and considering how you embrace collaboration with others. It’s a powerful reminder that together, we can achieve the extraordinary.

Conventional wisdom is bullsh!t. It says leaders have to be outgoing, forceful and dynamic. But that’s not true. Listening carefully and making thoughtful decisions are hallmarks of good leadership. But they are, by their very nature, traits that are easy to overlook. When you are continually told (by teachers, bosses, the media) that leaders are bold and make snap decisions, no wonder you think maybe leadership is not for you. Today, let’s stop overlooking the leaders with quiet power. Who has inspired you with their own brand of leadership? It could be someone famous or someone you know. I’ll go first. Peter Reynolds is someone I admire. We worked together at Breakthrough Breast Cancer. Peter is a hugely successful director of fundraising with a calm and authoritative presence. He’s not the most talkative person in the room (good!) but when he says something it’s usually thought-provoking. Guaranteed to stretch people’s thinking, which leads to better results. Who inspires you and why? #IntrovertCoach #introversion #leadership
