Hi Janan!

These are both great versions! I think it is great to have both options.

I personally don’t think you need to have personal details included in your elevator pitch. Your “WHY” can be more part of your narrative version of your story. OR have this second version with more of your personal story to add more information when asked. Think…[Read more]

Hi Janan, great questions!

This is the exact kind of topic I like to discuss in our bonus session!

What I want to mention first is that there is a difference in having referral sources in place vs. having subcontractors in place. I am leaning to believe based on your list/examples here that these may be more referral sources for you. (I may…[Read more]

You have some great content here, good work!

Practice it with everyone you can to see what flows best for you. There are endless options to make using the primary points you want to convey, I put together another version you can play around with.

I founded Empower Healthcare Advocacy Services to support patients and caregivers with care…[Read more]

I will work on some scenarios and request feedback for next steps for the conversations from the cohort!

Sure!
That sounds like something that would be a good topic for our bonus session we have in December. If we have time at our upcoming November live session and if everyone is interested we could potentially run a scenario during that meeting.

Or would you like to type up some conversations within our discussion forum? That would be an option as…[Read more]

Tracy,
I appreciate that you have these considerations!
I will reply to you more in your other post 🙂

Good job seeking and finding additional resources! The Circle is a great networking opportunity that can lead to amazing connections!

I have not attended a meeting in quite a while due to conflicts when the meetings are held live. There are often new faces popping into the group, it is fun to see old friends and new!

There is also another group…[Read more]

You are welcome!

If I remember correctly, in the video I asked everyone who wanted a copy of my forms to send me an email to let me know what they wanted and I would send it out. There are many form options we talked about, send me an email to let me know what you would like and I will send them to you 🙂

Have a great week!
Steph

I am so glad you are able to join us! I love that you will be a trail blazer in New Zealand, how exciting!

Thank you so much for your introduction and sorry to hear what you went through fighting for getting answers and glad you persevered to get a diagnosis. Yes, the US system is a beast but as you indicated, you have challenges there too and…[Read more]

Hi Michelle!

I don’t recall if you were able to attend the live bonus session or if you watched the recording. In that session I shared my contract versions. Do you have those to show him as well?

Thanks!
Steph

Julie,

Wow! I hope you get your repaired abdominal wall which will no doubt help you in your advocacy journey as well!

What I find so interesting is your interest and training in MI. I also took extra training in this area, it was a program that was provided for free through a grant for health care workers and I LOVED it! I recommend learning…[Read more]

Janan,

Thank you for sharing this amazing story! I apologize that I missed seeing your introduction in a timely manner.

You have so many rich experiences to bring to your work as a patient advocate and I am excited for you and your husband to be able to work on this journey together.

I too hope that we can make the time difference work to allow…[Read more]
