This week on The Business of Healthcare Podcast I discuss Comparison & Fear of Missing Out. It's something even the most confident of people can worry about and I have to remember that even with the best planning in the world, sometimes you then have to take a step back. We need to prioritise, think about the pressure to contribute and become better at saying no, it's not a bad thing. It's difficult trying to balance all the plates sometimes, but take a step back, breathe and look at the bigger picture.

Welcome back to The Business of Healthcare Podcast where this week I am talking to Alison Reid who is the CEO at Community Dental Services.  What I really liked about this interview is that I don't share the interview questions with the guest in advance and Alison was just in my opinion, so clear in articulating the values, her culture compass, the focus for the next 18 months, her leadership style and I just thought I aspire to be able to communicate like that.    There are excellent practical tips in this episode too which I am so grateful to be able to share with you all.  "I think that's probably the one thing that shocked me most working much more directly with the dental provider was that I'd often heard the team refer to extractions and it's only when you actually go to a general anaesthetic session where a three year old is coming in to have all of their baby teeth removed, because they have become too decayed to be retained that you realise we've still got a serious problem in this country with understanding how to protect our teeth for the whole of our lives".  Alison Reid - CEO Community Dental Services Mentions in this episode  Katherine Pitts Podcast Episode 160    This week on The Business of Healthcare:  Support Your Leadership Development  It’s not what you do it’s how you do it  Children’s dental services and challenges  Needing to give the public choice  Integrated Care  Health inequalities    Connect with Alison Reid  Community Dental Services Website    Work with me  I’m Tara Humphrey and I’m the founder of THC Primary Care, a leading healthcare consultancy.

This week on The Business of Healthcare Podcast I wanted to discuss the importance of making time to meet with your team even when you feel like there is no time.    A few of the questions that I discuss 👇    What is the importance of getting more time to talk to get to know each other?    What do you prioritise?    When we come together as a team, I have some quick ways to kickstart the meeting, you can ask what is working well, what are we finding challenging at the moment? and how have we overcome these challenges?

163 Why Consistency Is The Key To Your Success In this weeks episode I wanted to talk to you about the  importance and the benefits of being consistent, and to raise the question with you around what areas of your business, work or services you could look at to create some more consistent habits and systems for people to follow?    I think consistency is really important because it builds trust. People know what to expect, whether that is around the deliverable of a service or your behaviour and how you show up.   What happens when people are inconsistent is if you are their manager or in a management position, you then have to go back and check it. You know it wastes time and if you're not brave enough to raise that inconsistency with the person we end up compounding the problem.    This week on The Business of Healthcare:  The importance of being consistent  Habits  Building Trust  Saving Time  Improving quality  Work with me  I’m Tara Humphrey and I’m the founder of THC Primary Care, a leading healthcare consultancy.

161 How to get out of your own way  We all turn to trusted colleagues or friends for advice, but sometimes we want real advice, not just to be told how brilliant we are. When you find those colleagues it’s their advice that will push you to being a better leader and help you go in the right direction.    Today I’m talking about how you don’t have to do everything by yourself, asking for and getting help can make you a stronger leader. Asking for advice can steer you in the right direction of people or of tools and resources. I also share how it’s important to understand what your organisation, business or team requires of you now. The leader you needed to be five years ago will be different to the leader you need to be right here and now. I talk about asking ourselves what is needed for us to be the leader we want to be - now.    This week on The Business of Healthcare:  The importance of real advice from friends and colleagues.  Why you don’t have to do everything by yourself.  Other people can help you see the things you can’t.  How advice can steer you in the right direction.  The importance of using the expertise around you.  Why you should ask yourself what the business requires of you.  The importance of being the leader you need to be now.    Mentions in podcast  Annie Meakin on linkedin  Matthew Gibbons on linkedin  True Geordie Podcast - Gymshark  The Business of Healthcare Episode 78 – How to protect your learning time  Strengths Deployment Inventory Work with me  I’m Tara Humphrey and I’m the founder of THC Primary Care, a leading healthcare consultancy.

157 Do not say no because you are scared  Welcome back to the business of healthcare podcast. I hope you guys are doing well. In this episode, I wanted to do a little bit of a re-introduction as we have new listeners, which is absolutely fab, and I also wanted to say thank you to our regular listeners, we love that you come back each week and spend your time listening to our Podcast.   We launched in September, 2019 and at the time of recording, we have recorded well over 160 episodes and the show continues to grow. On Tuesdays on the Business of Healthcare Podcast, it is usually a solo episode where I'm just sharing what's going on behind the scenes, in my own health consultancy and we've also had a period of time where I've been listening back to some of my favourite episodes and then drawing out a short clip and then re sharing that and providing my commentary on either side.    We did that because we've got such an archive of content. I think it's really important to revisit what we've already heard and what we already know, because we're not always consistently practicing it.  It's not always about producing new content, sometimes it's about revisiting the discussions that's already been.    On Thursdays, that is where I interview a healthcare leader and they share what goes on behind the scenes of their business and their leadership journey to date. The point and purpose of the show is to provide an informal space for you to hear from healthcare stars that you may not be aware of, and also to introduce you to just everyday leaders and their stories.  In this weeks episode I discuss why not to say no because you are scared, I wanted to give you a real life example of how I let my imposter syndrome get in the way. I’m sure this has happened to many of us out there!  This week on The Business of Healthcare:  How I let my imposter syndrome get in the way  Discussing your concerns with trusted friends/colleagues  Sharing experiences    Work with me  I’m Tara Humphrey and I’m the founder of THC Primary Care, a leading healthcare consultancy.
