The Conscious Communicator | Hospital VP | The last 20+ yrs of leadership taught me one thing: Relationships are everything. I’ll show you how to build them.

@GrammarHippy You know how leaders often struggle with:

• Ineffective delegation
• Conflict management
• Misinterpreted intentions
• Low morale & engagement

I help healthcare leaders solve their biggest problems through my Conscious Communicator framework.

@ktfuntweets Especially since GB’s offense is doing whatever they want.

You have to do EVERYTHING in your power in offense to keep the drive going - field position doesn’t matter.

This world would be broken without women in it.

Women possess a strength that often defies comprehension. They are providers, nurturers, and educators, shaping the world with resilience and love.

Today, on International Women’s Day, I reflect on the remarkable women in my life whose courage and determination have shaped my journey.

My grandmother, Faye, was born in 1920 in South Georgia. By the tender age of six, she had endured the heartbreaking loss of two brothers and a sister.

As she completed college, her mother passed away, yet she pressed on. Married at 19, she faced the challenges of raising her son, George, largely on her own, as her husband was seldom present.

The night George was born, his father disappeared, leaving Faye to raise him by herself.

In the 1930s South, a time and place steeped in racial segregation and prejudice, Faye built a supportive community to help care for George while she worked.

Remarkably, one of the families who cared for George was Black—a courageous decision that defied societal norms and subjected her to scrutiny.

But Faye was undeterred by the racial barriers of her time; her bravery knew no bounds.

In 1936, Faye’s life took a positive turn when she met my grandfather, Jim. They married, and within a year, she was pregnant with their first daughter.

Tragically, their baby girl passed away just five weeks after birth from leukemia.

Despite this profound loss, Faye and Jim persevered, going on to have two more children—my mother and uncle.

Faye also dedicated 20 years to a career as a Governmental Service Civilian, exemplifying commitment both at home and in her profession.

Faye’s strength and perseverance were passed down to my mother. At the age of 40, following a divorce-induced career change, my mother became a single parent to two children.

She faced this new chapter with unwavering love and resilience, ensuring we had everything we needed.

The sacrifices and determination of these incredible women have not only shaped my life but have also created a world where my daughter can grow up with greater opportunities and fewer barriers.

Their legacy is a testament to the extraordinary strength women possess and the profound impact they have on future generations.

To all the women who embody such resilience and love, thank you. The world is better because of you.

@AskPlayStation - so if I don’t need a refund, how exactly do I reach a human that can help me…?

Tough conversations are opportunities disguised as challenges.

Thanks to mirror neurons you can:

• Be composed to put them at ease
• Be patient to lessen their emotions
• Be optimistic to inspire positivity

Embrace these, and see tough talks turn productive!

Leaders, which communication domain do you feel needs the most improvement to more effectively deliver your message?

[Ben Carroll @obllorrac]

Deciding to buy a house in Germany…

it felt like stepping into another universe…

My mother-in-law, a German native, wanted to lend a hand…

She whipped up this enormous, convoluted Excel sheet to track our expenses…

Honestly, I breach my communication principles 3-4x weekly.

Yet, I persistently:

• Reassess my mindset & actions
• Rise daily, striving to be my best self
• Repair any harm my errors create

For me, being a Conscious Communicator is an endless journey of growth.

[Ben Carroll @obllorrac]

It's OK to ditch the meeting room and head outside for a walk.

Walking meetings enable you:

• To ignite engagement
• To strengthen your focus
• To unleash creative thinking
• To foster a culture of innovation

Start small. Try it with your next 1:1. Let me know how it goes!
