Presenter:   Jodi Davis, Founder 
      JD Coaching & Consulting

 Jodi Davis

 

Communication is the thread that weaves all relationships together. It is especially important in the world of healthcare, elder care and senior living facilities. The flow of communication - internally (among staffing levels and functional areas) is critically important to ensure continuity of care and high quality delivery of service. Equally important, is the facilitation of communication with external patient/resident relationships such as family members, physicians, and other care providers.

 

Jodi Davis, author of The Promise of Potential, is a professional coach and organizational development consultant. But more than that, she has a ten year history as a primary caregiver, helping her mother through a tenuous complex medical journey that included several surgeries, nearly 10 hospitalizations, seven rehab/transitional care unit stays, five years in an assisted living facility and 11 months as a resident in the nursing home where she spent the final year of her life.  

 

In her story, Jodi brings to life the complexity, criticality, severity and humor from her experiences with her mother and these multiple healthcare facilities. She is an advocate for improving communication to ensure care plan coordination and quality healthcare delivery. Her story offers real life situations and suggestions for caring for the people you serve and love.

PRESIDENT'S MONTHLY NOTE
   

Hello,

 

Susan Green

It's hard to imagine that in one short month, I'll be seeing you (I hope) at our annual Spring Luncheon! On Thursday, May 10th, we have a dynamite program in store for you including our speaker, Michael Foley presenting, Losing the Junk in your Trunk. It has been said that Michael Foley knows how to tell a story.

Whether reassuring novice adventurers during his tenure as an Outward Bound instructor or helping executives pack punch into a presentation, Mike's stories and humor have been at the core of his success as a keynote speaker, coach, and trainer. The topic, Losing the Junk in your Trunk promises to leave the attendee with the following messages:  

  • Enjoy every day no matter what - rain, bad hair, cranky customer, bad economic news - life is too short not to!
  • Reduce your demands and expectations to live and work more harmoniously with the "reality" of each moment.
  • Maximize your effectiveness by working with a clear mind that is not clouded with negative thoughts and feelings.

The Luncheon is always a lovely opportunity to relax, meet new people and reconnect with old friends. We can promise that you will learn (and acquire continuing education credits), laugh and enjoy a delicious catered lunch from D'Amico and Sons. Hey, you might even win a prize!

 

Join us at our new location, The Metropolitan Ballroom on the north-west corner of Highways 100 and 394. Watch your email box for an invitation soon. Registration information can be found on www.seniorworkers.org

 

Wondering about SPONSORSHIP?   Hurry! There are still a couple of vendor opportunities available. Contact Linda Debner at debnerl@hospiceofthetwincities.com for more information.
