President's Corner

May 15, 2024

Dear Nurses,


Traditionally, the path of a nurse has been confined within the walls of healthcare institutions. While these settings offer invaluable experiences and opportunities to impact lives, they also come with limitations - limitations that entrepreneurship can break free from.


Entrepreneurship offers you the autonomy to shape your career on your terms. Imagine having the freedom to design your own schedule, choose your own clients or patients, and tailor your services to address unmet needs in healthcare. Whether you dream of starting a private practice, launching a healthcare product, or offering specialized consulting services, entrepreneurship opens doors to limitless possibilities.


Moreover, entrepreneurship provides flexibility- a precious commodity in a profession as demanding as nursing. By establishing your own business, you can create a work-life balance that aligns with your priorities and passions.

How to Write a Blog Post Outline That Leaves No Ambiguity

 

Marketing Insider Group

Writing a blog post without an outline is like going on a road trip without a map. Sure, you might get somewhere eventually, but there’s a good chance you’ll take a few wrong turns. At Marketing Insider Group, we believe in making every word count and every direction clear. That’s why we’re here to talk about how to write a blog post outline that leaves no room for ambiguity.

Think Like a Lawyer 4 Lessons in Communication For Leaders


Inc.

You can find insight everywhere -- and the best look everywhere, especially outside their industry. If you think about it, most skills are fully transferable. For instance, some of the best business leaders have a legal background. Think of Berkshire Hathaway's Charlie Munger, Pepsi's Indra Nooyi, or Goldman Sach's Lloyd Blankfein.


As a non-executive director, I've always found legal skills an undervalued source of communication insight that can be leveraged broadly, whether you're in sales, marketing, finance, technology, operations, or compliance.


In particular, four lessons stand out: the use of stories; the emotional appeal; respect for accuracy; and reputation protection. Here are four communication lessons from lawyers.
