We need each other. And with conscious collaboration we can truly help each other.
As a health care professional, I want to empower community health where everyone can thrive, fully alive, sharing their gifts. I am at a personal cross-road where I realize that I cannot do this alone. We need to partner to empower our community’s ability to grow a thriving culture of wellness. We need everyone to contribute with their unique gifts. We all need to be the change we wish to see in the world. To do this we must first ask some difficult personal questions.
Why do we allow our gifts to remain hidden from the world? What illusions stop us from being an international leader? What holds us back from changing the world right now? What is worth doing, even when we fail?
I believe people are naturally designed to be collaborative. We may have had painful or scary experiences with collaboration in the past, but with a new model of conscious collaboration we can expand our sense of connection. To do this we need to expand our sense of vulnerability as well as our sense of self.
A wellness model, shared by many health care professionals, addresses the domains of physical, emotional, intellectual, spiritual, social, environmental, financial, occupational, and cultural health. Imagine how clients would benefit, with their wellness team collaborating in these domains. A personal client advocate could help clients navigate their integrated health care options.
Collaborating practitioners can share front-end and back-end practice management services. Shared front-end services could include consolidated marketing and branding, reception, scheduling and intake. Shared back-end services could include Electronic Health Records management, billing, collection and bookkeeping.
By collaborating, practitioners have more billable time to do what they are trained to do. They can also enjoy team support, cross-training, and peer feedback. Collaborating with a team of like-minded professionals is just more fun and more effective. This model of running a health care practice contributes to the revitalization of business in a more beautiful world.
Business in a More Beautiful World is a monthly networking & education event for those interested in a collaborative, heart-centered, purpose-driven model of doing business. Meeting take place every 4th Thursday from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at Edna’s of Asheville, 870 Merrimon Avenue in Asheville. Free to the public.
