What do LAW, DISNEY, and PUFFERFISH have in common? Well, you would have had to have been on our call to find out! I decided that in order to provide the quality of schooling my son deserves AND have time for work, I planned to begin my workday at 4 am... By the time 10 am came around, I was extremely exhausted, but Elizabeth Gibbison 's energy and enthusiasm gave me the boost I needed! As a Solicitor, she's a member of the legal profession qualified to deal with conveyancing, the drawing up of wills, and other legal matters across England, UK. 🔥 Fun Fact 🔥 I studied for the LSAT and nearly followed a career in law, too!

Whom are YOU connecting with this week?! 🤝 Here is our reverse cheers since I was too exhausted to realize we were off 😂🤷‍♀️😜 #networking #workingmoms #womeninleadership #legal #chantelshares …see more

Everyone has a voice... how we use it is what counts! Spending time in a more routine way provides ample time for reflection and self-awareness. Instead of letting negativity take control, Focus on using this time to live a more intentional life! Here are three things you can do to be more intentional: 1️⃣ Become more self-aware. Understand the emotions and thoughts triggering your behavior and take steps forward to modify behaviors that no longer serve you. 2️⃣ Exercise daily. Endorphines provide a burst of clarity and a rush of overall satisfaction. Make time for yourself, even if it is just 15-minutes of jumping jacks, situps, lunges, and push-ups! 3️⃣ Try to use cash only. This will make you much more intentional about how you spend your money. Do you have a solid hold on WHO you are and WHAT makes you incredible? Do you have a whisper that you're ready to turn into a ROAR?! ✨ What do you do to live intentionally?! A very special thank-you to the team at Gravity Photo Co , including Olga Daubs and Steve Daubs for these incredible studio shots! #Intention #Leadership #Branding …see more

What’s the number one #softskill employers seek? 💁🏼‍♀️ CREATIVITY.🦋 And it's no wonder. #Creativity is the ability to perceive the world in new ways, to find hidden patterns, to make connections between seemingly disparate things, and to generate innovative solutions.✅ Here are 5️⃣ ways to cultivate yours: 1️⃣ Ask big questions.❓ "What if?" and "Why not?" challenge conventional thinking and help you arrive at solutions you may not have considered before. 2️⃣ Pay attention.🔍 Tap into your awareness, and notice details other people miss. Creative people lead with curiosity and see possibilities and potential in everything. 3️⃣ Be open-minded.🧠 Maintaining a closed or fixed #mindset is a creativity killer. Instead, challenge yourself to consider new ideas from unfamiliar sources. 4️⃣ Set aside time to let your mind wander.⏰ Building in free time means your brain is in a more relaxed state, which is more conducive to creativity. 5️⃣ Don't be afraid to take risks. ⚠️ Allow yourself to the freedom to produce new ideas without fear, and you’ll up your chances of creating something no one has thought of before. #leadership #business #success #professionaldevelopment #relationships #communication #growth #career …see more

What Should Keep You Up At Night: No Obamacare If the Affordable Care Act(ACA), (aka Obamacare), is struck down: 1. As many as 133 million Americans — roughly half the population under the age of 65 — have pre-existing medical conditions that could disqualify them from buying a health insurance policy or cause them to pay significantly higher premiums if the health law were overturned. 2. What’s a pre-existing condition? Common ailments such as high blood pressure or asthma, any of which could require those buying insurance on their own to pay much more for a policy, if they could get one at all. 3. And!... The coronavirus, which has infected nearly seven million Americans to date, could also be cut out of getting insurance coverage 4. And, 54 million people have conditions serious enough that insurers would outright deny them coverage if the A.C.A. were not in effect. Why every single American should care: 1. Under the A.C.A., no one can be denied coverage under any circumstance, and insurance companies cannot retroactively cancel a policy. What to do? Protect this policy. Make your voice heard. Your family will thank you. Your pocketbook will thank you. (Insurance companies will not thank you!) …see more

Pestering, Nudging or Noodging—it all seems to work. My grandmother used to pester me to wear a sweater when it's cold outside; to save my appetite for dinner or to look both ways when crossing the street . So I giggled at reading someone won a Noble Prize for recognizing what my grandmother—and probably yours have been doing forever —nudging or noodging or pestering people helps them to make the smart choice. Perhaps the solution for improving health care safety and quality is to hire all our grandparents and embed them in our hospitals, clinics and nursing homes! I'm 1000% sure they will make sure providers wash their hands and patients take their medications ! Selected Excerpt : “Nudging – a term coined by newly honored Nobel Prize laureate and economist Richard H. Thaler – is based on the idea that people don’t always make rational choices based on their own best interest. Rather, people are influenced by their emotions and personal needs, resulting in choices that may not lead to the best outcome. Thaler suggests that people can be “nudged” in the right direction by simple processes, and these nudges can help people take actions that benefit them. “ …see more

Tech giants becoming key players in healthcare, the redefinition of privacy and health data, worldwide attention on scientists...

2 microbiome tests, 1 sample, how many different results? I'm so excited that I can finally compare two microbiome tests. One is from Thryve and the other is from Atlas Biomed.

The WHO announced it will create a global registry to track research into human genetic manipulation, after a call to halt all work on germline genome editing—used in China last year to genetically modify twin baby girls.

5 Times A.I. Outsmarted Its Creators - The Medical Futurist There’s been a lot of fear about A.I. taking over and automating entire industries from deliveries to manufacturing. A.I. fueled machines can already do many tasks where learning and judgment are required from stock trading to self-driving cars and many tasks in healthcare. But is there any limit to their capabilities? I took a look at five fields where A.I. unexpectedly seem to be able to match humans. #themedicalfuturist #digitalhealth #future #healthcare #medicine #technology #health #healthy #video #youtube #studio …see more
