   #13 Attending events

   Let’s get event planning! We are all well versed in mandatory training and where development within our individual roles is measured by the ‘must do’ workplace-based courses but when it comes to the events we choose, how do we target those which are most likely to make the biggest impact on our personal growth, and in our learning and progression as businesses and business leaders? I bring to you a podcast episode focused on my own approach to events planning; both in terms of benchmarking and recognising my own personal development goals, and when considering the design and delivery of THC Primary Care’s own events. Listen on to hear my advice and experiences about: Why not to book events too far in advance (unless there are more complex travel and logistical implications When timing matters (especially when it comes to release of new guidance or embedding new process locally) How attending events which are not necessarily role or sector-specific can also be incredibly empowering What to consider when choosing your events, and thinking carefully about what you really want to get out of them, be it; opportunities to network or connect with peers, access to industry insights and policy development, completion of formal professional development, and / or marketing your product or services About Tara Humphrey and The business of Healthcare Consulting: With nearly a decade of experience in healthcare consultancy, Tara Humphrey, founder of THC Primary Care, has successfully supported over 200 Primary Care Networks across England.

    #10 Comparison and Fear of Missing Out

    It's something even the most confident of people can worry about and I have to remember that even with the best planning in the world, sometimes you then have to take a step back. We need to prioritise, think about the pressure to contribute and become better at saying no, it's not a bad thing. It's difficult trying to balance all the plates sometimes, but take a step back, breathe and look at the bigger picture.

    #8 Designing my Career

    I am just following my passions, saying yes to the opportunities that interest me, taken a few risks, investing in myself and to a degree, I’m happy to make a bunch of mistakes along the way. I think that’s how you design your career is unique to you. If you have the desire to do something different, a create a side hustle, or take on a project that maybe pushes you outside of your comfort zone or even change your job entirely, maybe this year is the year to do this. You do not have to be one thing or do the same thing you have always done, but it’s up to you and down to you to create opportunities. I believe, in order to make this happen, you need to be a bit braver and give yourself the permission to try something different, knowing that the worse thing that could happen is you would be to simply fail. It's OK to try something and it not work. It can be emotionally painful, time-consuming and financially costly BUT lol…. Don’t let that put you off. Be smart and take steps that will help you to minimise the risks. I absolutely love the career I am building, and I feel both content and excited to do more and try more.

    #5 Legitimacy and Creditability

    I am discussing how to build legitimacy and enhance your creditability. Having a boundary spanning role and building legitimacy go hand in hand.  It can feel like you are constantly trying to build legitimacy and when you join a new organisation – you have to start from scratch and you have to show who you are and share your values. Other people can build your legitimacy by word of mouth testimonial / referral and this is really important, but you still have to live up to this expectation.  Do this by trying to get to know people, make it personal and make it not all about you but showcase your experience. Points that are discussed Offer your help with no expectation Quietly putting out fires in the background that other people don't know that is there. See the light at the end of the tunnel It’s hard but so rewarding Reflect on those little successes The most practical piece of advice I can offer is, be visible do what you say you are going to do and make the time to genuinely get to know people and be yourself.

    #3 Hiring a healthcare consultant

    Tara returns to discuss the importance of considering outside help from consultants for healthcare leaders facing challenges.   Tara provides a list of important questions for leaders to reflect on and determine if they would benefit from external support.. Tara's key takeaways: Consider hiring a consultant if you consistently miss targets, have the same recurring issues, lack clarity on strategy, or face staffing and morale problems. Be ready and committed to investing time and resources to improve the situation before seeking outside help. Think about the potential impact of resolving the issue and consider if it can be resolved internally or if outside help is needed. When looking for a consultant, seek referrals from trusted sources and prioritise expertise and experience over cost. Consultants should deliver on the agreed scope of work and stay focused on the brief. Episode 1 & 2 - download here The book - The Five dysfunctions of a team Questions asked in the episode; Are you collectively ready and commited to invest in the time and resources to improve the situation? What is the cost of doing nothing and everything remaining the same? What could things look like if they were different? and if the situation improved, what would be the impact if things got better? Do you truly think that the issues can be resolved internally? If not, who might this person/team be?

    #1 Getting started

    Ever wondered how you can turn a series of diverse job experiences into a thriving healthcare consulting business? This week, Tara shares her personal journey, recounting the thrill and challenges of negotiating her first clients, how word of mouth was crucial in securing opportunities, and the importance of patience and hard work in building a client pipeline. Here are Tara's key takeaways for this week: Mindset is key in running a business. Visualisation and manifestation can be powerful tools. Making choices that align with desired outcomes can lead to positive shifts in business. Self-awareness and honest evaluation of leadership skills are important for personal growth. Building a supportive network and choosing people carefully for support can be beneficial. It's okay to not always have a positive mindset and to seek support when needed. Financial literacy is essential for running a successful business. Don't be afraid to try new things and accept that not everything will be successful.
