00:00:00.808 --> 00:00:02.052
You're listening to the P.T.

00:00:02.072 --> 00:00:02.774
Pinecast,

00:00:02.894 --> 00:00:04.900
where smart people in healthcare come to

00:00:04.960 --> 00:00:05.802
make noise.

00:00:06.163 --> 00:00:07.607
Here's your host, Jimmy McKay.

00:00:10.881 --> 00:00:11.643
Voice over guy.

00:00:11.702 --> 00:00:12.503
Hi, I'm Jimmy McKay.

00:00:12.763 --> 00:00:14.726
Episode today is powered by our new

00:00:14.766 --> 00:00:16.568
friends at Sarah Health.

00:00:16.628 --> 00:00:17.349
I'd say new friends,

00:00:17.388 --> 00:00:18.589
but we've known these guys for a couple

00:00:18.609 --> 00:00:18.931
of years.

00:00:19.711 --> 00:00:21.474
Sarah Health remote care platform is

00:00:21.493 --> 00:00:23.074
turning patient engagement into real

00:00:23.275 --> 00:00:24.117
clinic revenue.

00:00:24.137 --> 00:00:24.817
I'm not going to quote him,

00:00:24.836 --> 00:00:26.458
but he was telling me about a clinic

00:00:26.478 --> 00:00:27.539
who added eight grand a month to their

00:00:27.559 --> 00:00:28.021
bottom line.

00:00:28.041 --> 00:00:29.161
They're able to pay people better,

00:00:29.361 --> 00:00:30.362
able to buy better stuff.

00:00:31.192 --> 00:00:33.594
Give better care, money, it works,

00:00:34.253 --> 00:00:34.994
always fits too.

00:00:35.755 --> 00:00:37.356
Sarah helps PT clinics streamline

00:00:37.375 --> 00:00:39.097
communication with patients without extra

00:00:39.137 --> 00:00:41.198
time and without an extra app.

00:00:41.219 --> 00:00:43.340
They do it via a HIPAA safe text

00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:43.860
platform.

00:00:44.100 --> 00:00:45.542
I know, technology, it's wild.

00:00:45.902 --> 00:00:48.043
They make it easy to meet RTM requirements

00:00:48.143 --> 00:00:49.825
and get reimbursed by Medicare,

00:00:49.865 --> 00:00:50.784
commercial insurers,

00:00:50.865 --> 00:00:51.985
all the people that we love.

00:00:52.546 --> 00:00:53.466
It's simple to set up,

00:00:53.567 --> 00:00:54.948
easy to integrate with your EMR and

00:00:54.987 --> 00:00:55.488
patients,

00:00:56.542 --> 00:00:57.243
actually use it.

00:00:57.482 --> 00:00:57.843
Who knew?

00:00:58.103 --> 00:00:59.024
And look, here's their logo.

00:00:59.244 --> 00:01:00.225
There it is, Sarah Health.

00:01:00.826 --> 00:01:02.487
Find them online at sarahhealth.io.

00:01:02.508 --> 00:01:04.890
That is sarahhealth.io.

00:01:05.111 --> 00:01:05.850
Here's the question.

00:01:06.972 --> 00:01:08.894
You know those stories that sort of stick

00:01:08.914 --> 00:01:09.234
with you?

00:01:10.775 --> 00:01:13.358
The ones that shift your perspective or

00:01:13.379 --> 00:01:15.180
make you ask like good questions like,

00:01:15.661 --> 00:01:16.581
could I do that too?

00:01:17.763 --> 00:01:20.085
Now imagine hearing six of them.

00:01:21.040 --> 00:01:21.661
in one spot.

00:01:22.441 --> 00:01:23.602
Oh, you know where I'm going with this.

00:01:23.781 --> 00:01:25.924
At CSM this year in Anaheim,

00:01:26.444 --> 00:01:28.905
a group of PTs will take the stage

00:01:28.944 --> 00:01:32.066
to share moments that redefined how they

00:01:32.147 --> 00:01:35.427
led in the clinic, in systems, in lives.

00:01:36.649 --> 00:01:38.250
Keep looking, but you might, well,

00:01:38.269 --> 00:01:39.269
you're probably not gonna see these

00:01:39.310 --> 00:01:40.510
stories in a textbook.

00:01:41.680 --> 00:01:44.022
They're real world moments of failure,

00:01:44.361 --> 00:01:44.962
growth,

00:01:45.322 --> 00:01:48.822
and impact from people who walked the walk

00:01:49.063 --> 00:01:50.022
and live to tell about it.

00:01:50.602 --> 00:01:51.963
We're here today to give you a little

00:01:51.983 --> 00:01:52.644
bit of preview.

00:01:52.664 --> 00:01:54.805
This is the movie trailer before the big

00:01:54.825 --> 00:01:55.644
show.

00:01:55.665 --> 00:01:58.105
It's a backstage pass into the LAMP

00:01:58.385 --> 00:02:01.606
leadership talks coming up this year at

00:02:01.706 --> 00:02:03.966
APTA's combined sections meeting and the

00:02:04.066 --> 00:02:04.647
humans,

00:02:05.748 --> 00:02:08.307
the inspiring humans behind those stories.

00:02:09.008 --> 00:02:10.229
Let's bring in our

00:02:10.979 --> 00:02:14.824
first guest susan lukens susan welcome to

00:02:14.843 --> 00:02:17.407
the studio thanks for letting us be here

00:02:17.426 --> 00:02:19.748
jimmy this is great no pressure i just

00:02:19.769 --> 00:02:23.334
gave you the world's biggest boldest intro

00:02:23.354 --> 00:02:27.598
okay and what's what's what's your role

00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:29.621
here in this uh in this situation i

00:02:29.640 --> 00:02:30.902
mean you guys are essentially

00:02:32.537 --> 00:02:32.817
you know,

00:02:32.937 --> 00:02:36.118
mimicking these big stories in terms of

00:02:36.158 --> 00:02:37.219
like TED Talks, right?

00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:38.800
Ideas that spread.

00:02:38.841 --> 00:02:40.241
That's TED's line.

00:02:41.883 --> 00:02:42.943
TED's lawyers are on the line.

00:02:42.963 --> 00:02:43.503
I can't use that.

00:02:44.125 --> 00:02:45.406
TED Style Talks.

00:02:45.665 --> 00:02:48.147
TED Style Talks is how we say it.

00:02:48.168 --> 00:02:50.468
So how do you define a TED Style

00:02:50.508 --> 00:02:50.729
Talk?

00:02:50.788 --> 00:02:52.110
Why take this route?

00:02:52.349 --> 00:02:53.230
I know why I love them.

00:02:53.290 --> 00:02:54.372
Why you?

00:02:54.412 --> 00:02:55.012
Well, you know,

00:02:55.151 --> 00:02:56.413
I fell in love with them before I

00:02:56.453 --> 00:02:58.914
was ever part of the LAMP leadership

00:02:58.935 --> 00:02:59.215
committee.

00:02:59.537 --> 00:03:01.318
Because the first one I went to was

00:03:01.397 --> 00:03:02.919
at CSM in New Orleans.

00:03:02.998 --> 00:03:05.920
And these people got up there and they

00:03:05.961 --> 00:03:06.901
spoke from the heart.

00:03:06.941 --> 00:03:08.542
They talked about, like you said,

00:03:08.581 --> 00:03:10.704
the mistakes they made as leaders and what

00:03:10.743 --> 00:03:13.305
they learned from it and how they grew.

00:03:13.465 --> 00:03:16.106
And it was organic and real.

00:03:16.266 --> 00:03:17.046
And I thought, wow,

00:03:17.228 --> 00:03:18.168
I want to be a part of this

00:03:18.207 --> 00:03:18.487
group.

00:03:18.889 --> 00:03:19.808
These are my people.

00:03:20.429 --> 00:03:22.390
And I ended up joining the committee.

00:03:22.971 --> 00:03:25.072
And I'm the current chair of the LAMP

00:03:25.111 --> 00:03:26.393
Leadership Committee.

00:03:26.893 --> 00:03:27.973
I teach the curriculum.

00:03:28.771 --> 00:03:30.673
And for the last three years,

00:03:30.954 --> 00:03:32.835
I've actually gotten up there,

00:03:34.876 --> 00:03:36.837
butterflies in the stomach,

00:03:37.777 --> 00:03:38.838
full convention hall,

00:03:39.079 --> 00:03:41.381
and talked about some of the things I've

00:03:41.420 --> 00:03:42.181
learned as a leader.

00:03:42.401 --> 00:03:43.681
And like you said,

00:03:43.701 --> 00:03:44.582
these aren't the things you're going to

00:03:44.622 --> 00:03:45.843
learn in a course.

00:03:46.264 --> 00:03:48.765
There are things like making choices of

00:03:48.806 --> 00:03:51.366
how to figure out your work-life balance,

00:03:51.987 --> 00:03:53.449
how to be a lifelong learner,

00:03:53.829 --> 00:03:56.030
how to make sure that you have the

00:03:56.069 --> 00:03:56.811
capacity

00:03:57.608 --> 00:04:00.669
to support others and yourself as you go

00:04:00.688 --> 00:04:01.789
through this journey.

00:04:02.810 --> 00:04:05.450
The exciting thing this year is this we've

00:04:05.491 --> 00:04:07.051
had ten years.

00:04:07.151 --> 00:04:09.332
This is the tenth year of these TED

00:04:09.372 --> 00:04:10.073
style talks.

00:04:10.133 --> 00:04:12.854
And I can tell you every year we

00:04:12.873 --> 00:04:15.895
have a huge convention room and it's full

00:04:16.274 --> 00:04:18.076
and we usually go to an overflow room

00:04:18.115 --> 00:04:19.596
where they put us up on a screen.

00:04:20.437 --> 00:04:22.358
These are stories that people want to

00:04:22.478 --> 00:04:22.838
hear.

00:04:23.803 --> 00:04:25.444
We always have a long line of people

00:04:25.483 --> 00:04:26.805
to end asking questions,

00:04:26.865 --> 00:04:28.045
wanting to know more.

00:04:29.004 --> 00:04:31.966
It's just it's real life as we all

00:04:32.005 --> 00:04:32.286
live it.

00:04:32.305 --> 00:04:36.747
So is the hardest part picking which

00:04:36.766 --> 00:04:38.487
stories because you can't put a hundred

00:04:38.528 --> 00:04:40.327
stories on there is one of the hardest

00:04:40.367 --> 00:04:42.148
parts of that committee saying you're

00:04:42.168 --> 00:04:43.209
getting the nod this year.

00:04:43.249 --> 00:04:44.449
We're going to leave off to, you know,

00:04:44.468 --> 00:04:45.488
we're going to leave off some great.

00:04:45.569 --> 00:04:47.410
Yeah, it's tough picking it.

00:04:47.670 --> 00:04:48.230
And yeah.

00:04:48.714 --> 00:04:50.755
The exciting thing is we're in LAMP

00:04:50.776 --> 00:04:51.137
leadership,

00:04:51.156 --> 00:04:52.798
we're kicking off a new board

00:04:52.817 --> 00:04:55.619
certification and part of earning the

00:04:55.658 --> 00:04:57.740
certification is you have to put together

00:04:57.821 --> 00:05:00.242
one of these talks and we're naming them

00:05:00.322 --> 00:05:02.644
torch talks, you know, we're LAMP, get it?

00:05:04.745 --> 00:05:06.805
And so we're going to have a whole

00:05:06.966 --> 00:05:09.247
repository of these talks and we're going

00:05:09.267 --> 00:05:11.649
to be able to have more choice of

00:05:11.689 --> 00:05:13.029
who to put up there.

00:05:13.069 --> 00:05:15.291
We've had excellent people for ten years,

00:05:15.372 --> 00:05:16.612
but it's going to get a little harder

00:05:16.673 --> 00:05:16.833
now.

00:05:17.283 --> 00:05:19.365
And you've been recording all or most of

00:05:19.384 --> 00:05:19.886
these, right?

00:05:20.886 --> 00:05:24.367
They've been recorded at CSM on demand,

00:05:24.968 --> 00:05:27.269
but we have not been recording beyond

00:05:27.310 --> 00:05:27.509
that.

00:05:27.569 --> 00:05:29.851
We're going to start doing that through

00:05:29.872 --> 00:05:31.392
the recordings of the Torch Talks.

00:05:31.721 --> 00:05:32.762
These kids today,

00:05:32.841 --> 00:05:34.322
they don't know what a box set is,

00:05:34.343 --> 00:05:35.202
but I got to be honest,

00:05:35.244 --> 00:05:36.363
if you start recording,

00:05:36.423 --> 00:05:38.346
you could have a LAMP box set.

00:05:38.725 --> 00:05:40.007
I don't want to skip past this.

00:05:40.367 --> 00:05:42.148
My show touches a bunch of random people.

00:05:42.288 --> 00:05:44.209
I have no idea how you find me.

00:05:44.730 --> 00:05:45.271
Real quick,

00:05:45.350 --> 00:05:46.271
I don't want to make it a plug

00:05:46.290 --> 00:05:47.572
for LAMP, but plug LAMP.

00:05:47.951 --> 00:05:49.353
People might have heard of it or maybe

00:05:49.413 --> 00:05:49.713
never.

00:05:50.274 --> 00:05:52.336
What is LAMP?

00:05:53.216 --> 00:05:55.257
It's funny that we still call it CSM,

00:05:55.338 --> 00:05:56.678
Combined Section Meetings,

00:05:56.718 --> 00:05:58.519
because we are now all academies.

00:05:59.351 --> 00:06:01.434
And the Academy of Leadership and

00:06:01.473 --> 00:06:03.675
Innovation is our academy.

00:06:04.036 --> 00:06:05.937
You can be in academies that are all

00:06:05.976 --> 00:06:06.838
clinically driven.

00:06:07.358 --> 00:06:10.040
This is the academy for everything else.

00:06:10.880 --> 00:06:12.562
The Academy of Leadership and Innovation

00:06:12.762 --> 00:06:14.624
is where you go if you want to

00:06:14.644 --> 00:06:16.665
be part of the leadership committee or the

00:06:16.745 --> 00:06:17.245
management.

00:06:17.305 --> 00:06:19.088
LAMP is leadership and management

00:06:19.127 --> 00:06:19.848
together.

00:06:20.389 --> 00:06:21.810
It doesn't matter whether you have the

00:06:21.889 --> 00:06:23.310
title, the actual,

00:06:23.350 --> 00:06:25.132
we call it the big L title of

00:06:25.271 --> 00:06:26.632
director, manager, whatever,

00:06:26.774 --> 00:06:27.834
or if you are what we call the

00:06:27.874 --> 00:06:28.595
little L leader.

00:06:29.218 --> 00:06:32.600
Anyone in physical therapy, PTA, PT,

00:06:32.641 --> 00:06:33.822
you are a leader.

00:06:33.963 --> 00:06:35.684
You're asking patients to do some funny

00:06:35.723 --> 00:06:36.144
things.

00:06:36.524 --> 00:06:38.726
You're asking their families to do some

00:06:38.747 --> 00:06:39.228
funny things.

00:06:39.267 --> 00:06:40.108
You really are a leader.

00:06:40.509 --> 00:06:42.411
So we have curriculum for you.

00:06:43.050 --> 00:06:45.334
And then the other parts of the Academy

00:06:45.374 --> 00:06:46.875
of Leadership and Innovation are things

00:06:46.894 --> 00:06:50.699
like global health, PT Proud,

00:06:51.639 --> 00:06:53.781
the Technopalooza group is in there.

00:06:54.249 --> 00:06:56.951
So it's really all of those areas that

00:06:57.151 --> 00:06:59.935
aren't directly a specific clinical

00:06:59.975 --> 00:07:00.596
practice.

00:07:01.336 --> 00:07:02.177
So yeah,

00:07:02.377 --> 00:07:04.720
please go to our website and look at

00:07:04.779 --> 00:07:05.841
everything that's there.

00:07:06.682 --> 00:07:09.043
It's really a robust group of individuals

00:07:09.064 --> 00:07:11.005
that are very passionate about what we do.

00:07:11.026 --> 00:07:11.786
I got called,

00:07:11.826 --> 00:07:13.187
I got yelled at by someone.

00:07:13.206 --> 00:07:14.327
I won't say who, because I was like,

00:07:14.387 --> 00:07:16.550
it sounds like, and it's bad marketing,

00:07:16.569 --> 00:07:17.971
but it solves the answer, which is,

00:07:18.312 --> 00:07:20.233
it sounds like the junk drawer for PT.

00:07:20.673 --> 00:07:21.995
But the funny part about the junk drawer

00:07:22.035 --> 00:07:23.134
is that's where all the good stuff is.

00:07:23.194 --> 00:07:25.596
You can't, you need, you know,

00:07:25.617 --> 00:07:27.139
you've got the right tool.

00:07:27.298 --> 00:07:28.439
It's in that drawer.

00:07:28.860 --> 00:07:31.021
yeah junk drawer is not a great marketing

00:07:31.060 --> 00:07:32.322
term as a marketing guy would tell you

00:07:32.341 --> 00:07:34.262
don't use that but that's the vibe we'll

00:07:34.283 --> 00:07:35.624
figure out what it is all right so

00:07:35.684 --> 00:07:39.786
now we understand which academy uh this is

00:07:39.826 --> 00:07:41.887
gonna fall under for people who don't know

00:07:42.408 --> 00:07:44.250
uh i explain it it's one big circus

00:07:44.290 --> 00:07:46.050
with eighteen circuses underneath it

00:07:46.091 --> 00:07:47.692
you're one of the eighteen circuses who

00:07:47.711 --> 00:07:49.033
gets to play in this and i'm the

00:07:49.072 --> 00:07:49.473
ringleader

00:07:49.872 --> 00:07:50.793
You're the ringleader of that.

00:07:50.834 --> 00:07:52.735
You're the PT Barnum of the land.

00:07:52.754 --> 00:07:53.456
I like it.

00:07:53.596 --> 00:07:55.416
Circus in the circus of CSM,

00:07:55.677 --> 00:07:58.098
right down the street from Disney World,

00:07:58.119 --> 00:07:59.800
which is another circus with circuses in

00:07:59.961 --> 00:08:00.040
it.

00:08:00.081 --> 00:08:01.461
It's just all circuses all the way down.

00:08:01.482 --> 00:08:01.982
I love it.

00:08:02.002 --> 00:08:03.382
So I'm going to put you back in

00:08:03.423 --> 00:08:04.004
the green room.

00:08:04.064 --> 00:08:04.423
Thank you.

00:08:04.444 --> 00:08:06.084
We're going to bring you back at the

00:08:06.185 --> 00:08:06.425
end.

00:08:06.786 --> 00:08:08.127
But now it's time to,

00:08:08.547 --> 00:08:09.408
we're going to tease.

00:08:09.608 --> 00:08:11.069
We're going to give the movie trailer

00:08:11.108 --> 00:08:12.649
version of this.

00:08:12.670 --> 00:08:13.930
So Susan, we'll bring you right back.

00:08:13.951 --> 00:08:14.911
And let's bring in Lori.

00:08:14.971 --> 00:08:16.333
Lori, welcome to the podcast here.

00:08:17.540 --> 00:08:18.300
How are you doing?

00:08:18.341 --> 00:08:19.622
Thank you for having us.

00:08:19.983 --> 00:08:21.644
Let's get the nuts and bolts here.

00:08:21.685 --> 00:08:23.086
What's your superhero backstory?

00:08:23.125 --> 00:08:25.548
Just give me where in the profession you

00:08:25.588 --> 00:08:26.249
practice.

00:08:26.470 --> 00:08:27.930
Give us the back of the baseball card,

00:08:27.990 --> 00:08:28.591
the demographic.

00:08:29.483 --> 00:08:31.264
i need to be wearing my cape for

00:08:31.305 --> 00:08:34.508
that but my superhero backstory is that

00:08:34.528 --> 00:08:37.211
i'm not at all a superhero i started

00:08:37.311 --> 00:08:39.232
mpt many years ago i'm not going to

00:08:39.293 --> 00:08:43.496
divulge that but i actually was more

00:08:43.557 --> 00:08:45.278
interested in leadership i always saw

00:08:45.318 --> 00:08:47.321
patients but i was much more interested in

00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:49.102
building a team and leadership

00:08:49.783 --> 00:08:51.585
That's actually how I got involved with it

00:08:51.605 --> 00:08:54.207
was used to be HPA health policy and

00:08:54.227 --> 00:08:55.188
administration.

00:08:55.649 --> 00:08:56.269
And, you know,

00:08:56.450 --> 00:08:58.292
I belonged at the time to acute care

00:08:58.312 --> 00:09:00.274
and orthopedics and I was working in both

00:09:00.313 --> 00:09:00.734
things,

00:09:01.254 --> 00:09:03.216
but they didn't answer my questions.

00:09:03.616 --> 00:09:05.839
So this section at the time was,

00:09:06.539 --> 00:09:08.361
was more, you know,

00:09:08.402 --> 00:09:11.424
it gave me more than the other sections,

00:09:11.465 --> 00:09:13.807
the other that became academies that

00:09:14.389 --> 00:09:16.610
talked about the body or the facility you

00:09:16.650 --> 00:09:18.552
worked or the age of your patients.

00:09:18.572 --> 00:09:18.832
You know,

00:09:18.893 --> 00:09:20.495
I wanted to know how to deal with

00:09:20.595 --> 00:09:22.697
issues that were day to day from a

00:09:22.798 --> 00:09:24.418
leadership standpoint, you know.

00:09:25.179 --> 00:09:27.480
performance improvement issues and

00:09:27.581 --> 00:09:29.422
employee engagement and all of that.

00:09:29.481 --> 00:09:31.442
And so that's how I found HPA and

00:09:31.482 --> 00:09:32.283
we've evolved.

00:09:32.783 --> 00:09:34.804
Then we became the catalyst, which is,

00:09:34.845 --> 00:09:36.625
by the way, one of my favorite words.

00:09:37.658 --> 00:09:39.679
I'm in a doctoral program right now,

00:09:39.740 --> 00:09:42.140
and they asked about my teaching metaphor,

00:09:42.181 --> 00:09:43.400
and I said catalyst.

00:09:43.441 --> 00:09:45.042
That was the first thing that came to

00:09:45.081 --> 00:09:45.481
my mind.

00:09:45.881 --> 00:09:46.942
So I really like that.

00:09:47.243 --> 00:09:49.123
So I love your analogy of junk drawer,

00:09:49.482 --> 00:09:51.504
but I spend most of my time telling

00:09:51.524 --> 00:09:53.044
my husband where things are,

00:09:53.144 --> 00:09:54.764
and one of the things I have to

00:09:54.804 --> 00:09:55.966
do is tell him where they are in

00:09:55.985 --> 00:09:56.586
the junk drawer.

00:09:57.066 --> 00:09:59.107
So I would prefer something like

00:09:59.707 --> 00:10:01.269
incubator,

00:10:01.369 --> 00:10:04.211
somewhere where we're incubating ideas and

00:10:04.251 --> 00:10:04.772
all of that.

00:10:04.812 --> 00:10:07.274
And we've done that in terms of many

00:10:07.313 --> 00:10:08.355
people come to us

00:10:09.522 --> 00:10:13.065
to grow themselves like PT Proud,

00:10:13.125 --> 00:10:17.168
like Beyond Clinical and all that.

00:10:17.187 --> 00:10:20.070
And then they go on to do amazing

00:10:20.129 --> 00:10:20.610
things.

00:10:21.431 --> 00:10:24.192
And then I actually got laid off and

00:10:24.293 --> 00:10:26.774
ended up going from place to place,

00:10:26.955 --> 00:10:27.955
all in leadership,

00:10:28.296 --> 00:10:30.517
totally outside the realm of PT.

00:10:30.918 --> 00:10:32.418
The last thing I did was I ran

00:10:32.458 --> 00:10:34.259
an accountable care organization.

00:10:35.304 --> 00:10:36.765
That was very interesting.

00:10:36.905 --> 00:10:38.967
And I don't know why more PTs aren't

00:10:39.008 --> 00:10:41.009
involved in running health care

00:10:41.049 --> 00:10:41.909
organizations.

00:10:43.110 --> 00:10:45.212
And I like the fact that you went

00:10:45.293 --> 00:10:47.875
outside to hopefully bring some of that

00:10:48.034 --> 00:10:51.017
information back inside.

00:10:51.057 --> 00:10:52.138
So that's a snapshot.

00:10:52.177 --> 00:10:53.899
We can't tell everybody's complete story.

00:10:54.976 --> 00:10:56.937
But that we understand sort of a little

00:10:56.957 --> 00:10:57.738
bit about who you are.

00:10:58.118 --> 00:10:59.278
Now, what are we getting to?

00:10:59.577 --> 00:11:01.158
What do you get to stand on stage?

00:11:01.198 --> 00:11:03.458
Give us sort of the movie trailer version

00:11:03.538 --> 00:11:03.958
or, you know,

00:11:04.220 --> 00:11:05.379
this is the time to tease.

00:11:05.460 --> 00:11:06.220
This is the teaser.

00:11:06.879 --> 00:11:08.441
Lori, what do you got for us?

00:11:08.480 --> 00:11:08.701
Well,

00:11:08.760 --> 00:11:11.501
I love listening to people's stories.

00:11:11.682 --> 00:11:12.601
And that's, I think,

00:11:12.621 --> 00:11:14.981
what I liked and why I continued having

00:11:15.022 --> 00:11:16.822
a little hand in patient care.

00:11:17.375 --> 00:11:19.975
is I love to hear people's stories.

00:11:20.436 --> 00:11:22.096
And one of the things I think is

00:11:22.317 --> 00:11:24.197
sometimes what I would hear is the

00:11:24.238 --> 00:11:26.339
subjective is what they tell you and the

00:11:26.399 --> 00:11:28.379
objective is what you find.

00:11:29.059 --> 00:11:30.760
I don't see it that way at all.

00:11:31.301 --> 00:11:34.302
I think that patients have very objective

00:11:34.361 --> 00:11:35.923
things to tell us about their lived

00:11:35.982 --> 00:11:36.984
experiences.

00:11:37.663 --> 00:11:39.764
And those things have changed my life.

00:11:40.544 --> 00:11:42.548
They've stuck with me, as you've said.

00:11:42.947 --> 00:11:45.029
So I'm sharing some stories,

00:11:45.870 --> 00:11:48.254
starting with stories of people that I

00:11:48.313 --> 00:11:49.936
interviewed for my MPH,

00:11:51.116 --> 00:11:53.480
particularly a Navajo woman and her

00:11:53.519 --> 00:11:55.361
feelings about her diabetes,

00:11:55.782 --> 00:11:57.583
and then the people I interviewed for my

00:11:57.624 --> 00:11:59.206
qualitative experience.

00:12:00.005 --> 00:12:01.486
interviewing that I did,

00:12:01.626 --> 00:12:04.908
and then just also relating it to how

00:12:04.947 --> 00:12:06.908
we tell stories as leaders.

00:12:08.049 --> 00:12:10.610
There's a lot of leadership conferences

00:12:10.691 --> 00:12:13.971
and trainings where we present leaders as

00:12:13.991 --> 00:12:16.893
that superhero when we know they're not

00:12:16.952 --> 00:12:19.934
superheroes at all and we want to know

00:12:20.774 --> 00:12:21.654
more about them.

00:12:21.715 --> 00:12:23.296
And what are we doing as leaders?

00:12:23.316 --> 00:12:25.437
What kind of story are we sharing?

00:12:26.342 --> 00:12:28.624
And I guess what I like about all

00:12:28.663 --> 00:12:33.184
of that is, you know, we're scientists,

00:12:33.205 --> 00:12:34.885
so we're very based on the facts.

00:12:35.546 --> 00:12:38.307
But facts and truth are oftentimes

00:12:38.407 --> 00:12:43.008
repurposed for the benefit of the people

00:12:43.048 --> 00:12:44.008
who hold the power.

00:12:44.087 --> 00:12:46.729
And so I like the stories of people

00:12:46.769 --> 00:12:48.528
that we have maybe not heard in the

00:12:48.568 --> 00:12:50.250
history books and things like that.

00:12:50.836 --> 00:12:52.535
and what we maybe haven't heard from

00:12:52.576 --> 00:12:54.576
leaders, kind of their backstories.

00:12:55.076 --> 00:12:56.836
So it's a very brief, you know,

00:12:56.856 --> 00:12:57.278
it's brief.

00:12:57.317 --> 00:12:58.798
I'm going to try not to talk too

00:12:58.857 --> 00:12:59.217
long,

00:12:59.758 --> 00:13:01.278
but those are the things that I want

00:13:01.318 --> 00:13:03.778
to share my experiences and how they

00:13:03.818 --> 00:13:05.019
changed my life.

00:13:06.259 --> 00:13:06.700
Perfect.

00:13:06.980 --> 00:13:07.340
Excellent.

00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:09.640
Who's the right person to be in the

00:13:09.681 --> 00:13:10.760
room for your talk?

00:13:10.780 --> 00:13:11.921
I'm going to ask this to all six

00:13:11.941 --> 00:13:13.160
guests that I talked to today.

00:13:13.201 --> 00:13:13.922
Who's the right, who were,

00:13:14.162 --> 00:13:15.741
who were you hoping was in the audience?

00:13:16.903 --> 00:13:19.988
That actually not just people who are the

00:13:20.008 --> 00:13:21.048
big L leaders,

00:13:21.129 --> 00:13:24.914
but the I actually think anybody because I

00:13:24.955 --> 00:13:27.879
think the way we interact with patients,

00:13:27.938 --> 00:13:29.782
if you're a therapist who has a small

00:13:29.822 --> 00:13:32.326
practice or you're on staff in some place.

00:13:32.586 --> 00:13:34.447
healthcare organization,

00:13:35.386 --> 00:13:38.048
I think that you have the opportunity to

00:13:38.187 --> 00:13:41.210
really listen to lived experiences and

00:13:41.909 --> 00:13:43.770
guide your practice that way.

00:13:43.890 --> 00:13:45.831
So I wouldn't say there's anyone,

00:13:45.912 --> 00:13:47.552
I hope there's no one that this wouldn't

00:13:47.572 --> 00:13:48.712
be useful for.

00:13:50.293 --> 00:13:53.195
But I do think it may be interesting

00:13:53.235 --> 00:13:54.075
to leaders,

00:13:54.115 --> 00:13:55.995
people who have been out for a while,

00:13:56.056 --> 00:13:57.777
who maybe have listened to a

00:14:01.419 --> 00:14:03.389
Hopefully there will be leaders in the

00:14:03.429 --> 00:14:04.215
room for that.

00:14:05.256 --> 00:14:07.057
Um, but I think anyone,

00:14:07.217 --> 00:14:09.859
I really think anyone would be interested.

00:14:09.938 --> 00:14:11.340
I would hope they'd be interested.

00:14:11.919 --> 00:14:13.240
The last thing I'm going to say is

00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:14.400
we have,

00:14:14.581 --> 00:14:16.822
we spend a lot of time with patients.

00:14:16.842 --> 00:14:17.023
I mean,

00:14:17.182 --> 00:14:18.903
we all know what it's like to be

00:14:19.524 --> 00:14:22.544
a primary care physician and you just get

00:14:22.585 --> 00:14:23.625
like five seconds.

00:14:24.086 --> 00:14:26.067
We still spend a lot of time with

00:14:26.106 --> 00:14:26.527
people.

00:14:26.986 --> 00:14:30.369
And so we really have a moment to

00:14:30.548 --> 00:14:33.190
hear what's really going on in their lives

00:14:33.230 --> 00:14:34.311
and it can affect.

00:14:34.946 --> 00:14:35.666
how we,

00:14:35.765 --> 00:14:37.927
it affected me when I heard the stories,

00:14:37.986 --> 00:14:40.126
how I decided to guide my practice.

00:14:41.207 --> 00:14:41.508
Perfect.

00:14:41.528 --> 00:14:41.727
All right.

00:14:41.748 --> 00:14:42.528
I'm going to put you back in the

00:14:42.567 --> 00:14:43.567
green room and I'm going to bring in

00:14:43.628 --> 00:14:45.969
our next guest, the next, uh, Ted style,

00:14:46.688 --> 00:14:48.269
uh, speaker, Jennifer Green Wilson,

00:14:48.288 --> 00:14:49.730
Jennifer, uh, welcome.

00:14:49.750 --> 00:14:50.370
Congrats.

00:14:50.450 --> 00:14:51.169
Can't wait.

00:14:51.190 --> 00:14:52.910
Uh, just for context for everybody,

00:14:53.311 --> 00:14:54.910
what's your superhero backstory sort of

00:14:54.951 --> 00:14:55.750
paint a picture for us.

00:14:56.250 --> 00:14:56.812
Okay.

00:14:56.912 --> 00:14:59.652
So I actually am a Canadian trained

00:14:59.672 --> 00:15:00.653
physiotherapist,

00:15:00.692 --> 00:15:01.852
but I've practiced my

00:15:02.457 --> 00:15:04.337
whole professional life in the United

00:15:04.378 --> 00:15:04.859
States.

00:15:04.879 --> 00:15:07.619
And, uh, my, uh,

00:15:08.019 --> 00:15:10.720
probably biggest thing I would say that

00:15:10.779 --> 00:15:13.600
I'm really proud of is I'm a

00:15:13.760 --> 00:15:17.241
transformational leader and I had the

00:15:17.361 --> 00:15:20.923
opportunity, the pleasure to actually, uh,

00:15:20.962 --> 00:15:23.202
develop our initial, uh,

00:15:23.383 --> 00:15:26.423
lamp leadership curriculum way back when.

00:15:27.304 --> 00:15:29.804
And so I'm just so thrilled to be

00:15:29.924 --> 00:15:32.686
back actively involved with this team of

00:15:33.025 --> 00:15:33.745
superheroes.

00:15:34.505 --> 00:15:36.106
So, uh,

00:15:36.126 --> 00:15:37.447
I don't want to skip past a term

00:15:37.486 --> 00:15:38.746
cause you brought something up that I've

00:15:38.787 --> 00:15:39.466
heard before,

00:15:39.586 --> 00:15:40.567
but I don't know if I'd be able

00:15:40.606 --> 00:15:41.287
to define it.

00:15:41.746 --> 00:15:42.467
I don't need, you know,

00:15:42.508 --> 00:15:43.488
the Webster's dictionary.

00:15:44.168 --> 00:15:46.408
How would you describe a transformational

00:15:46.467 --> 00:15:46.707
leader?

00:15:46.847 --> 00:15:47.989
What does that mean?

00:15:48.048 --> 00:15:50.149
Why was that different than a leader?

00:15:50.208 --> 00:15:53.349
So a transformational leader is someone

00:15:53.408 --> 00:15:56.470
who is absolutely passionate about

00:15:57.081 --> 00:16:01.225
change and innovation and how you can

00:16:01.264 --> 00:16:04.267
transform is it's all hands on deck.

00:16:04.966 --> 00:16:06.408
And so the leader,

00:16:06.467 --> 00:16:09.289
the person who's inspiring the masses

00:16:10.289 --> 00:16:13.412
facilitates the process in such a way that

00:16:13.852 --> 00:16:16.514
people who are also leading the followers

00:16:17.254 --> 00:16:18.775
are growing and developing,

00:16:19.096 --> 00:16:22.097
developing at the same time that the

00:16:22.158 --> 00:16:23.958
person who's facilitating and leading.

00:16:24.383 --> 00:16:26.903
So everybody is growing and everybody is

00:16:26.964 --> 00:16:29.044
changing and change happens.

00:16:29.125 --> 00:16:31.004
It's really exciting to see.

00:16:32.025 --> 00:16:34.546
They sound like a fun person to work

00:16:34.625 --> 00:16:36.547
with or for or around.

00:16:37.027 --> 00:16:37.767
That sounds like, I mean,

00:16:38.106 --> 00:16:38.967
I'm listening to this going,

00:16:39.447 --> 00:16:40.447
show me one of those.

00:16:41.288 --> 00:16:41.769
I'll work with you.

00:16:41.788 --> 00:16:43.668
Like that sounds like a thing to do.

00:16:44.309 --> 00:16:44.649
Yeah.

00:16:44.669 --> 00:16:45.129
So Jimmy,

00:16:45.149 --> 00:16:47.250
I'll tell you a small story that I

00:16:47.289 --> 00:16:48.510
had the chance to

00:16:49.421 --> 00:16:51.962
experience, transformational leadership.

00:16:52.062 --> 00:16:53.345
And I actually learned about

00:16:53.404 --> 00:16:55.846
transformational leadership from physical

00:16:55.886 --> 00:16:56.866
therapy students.

00:16:57.587 --> 00:17:01.191
And when I changed how I facilitated their

00:17:01.230 --> 00:17:02.251
learning experience,

00:17:02.672 --> 00:17:06.275
they became more fully engaged and most

00:17:06.315 --> 00:17:06.796
dreaded.

00:17:06.816 --> 00:17:08.616
So I taught the business of physical

00:17:08.636 --> 00:17:09.397
therapy class.

00:17:09.897 --> 00:17:13.340
So the most dreaded class became their

00:17:13.461 --> 00:17:15.383
most exciting class.

00:17:15.682 --> 00:17:16.384
How'd you do that?

00:17:16.993 --> 00:17:17.413
Well,

00:17:17.493 --> 00:17:20.476
that is another talk that we can have.

00:17:20.496 --> 00:17:22.657
I always even want more.

00:17:22.678 --> 00:17:24.838
We call that a front tease in radio.

00:17:25.439 --> 00:17:26.660
I'll give you a little kudos being

00:17:26.700 --> 00:17:27.740
involved with LAMP.

00:17:27.800 --> 00:17:29.981
I've been in this profession for ten years

00:17:30.001 --> 00:17:30.803
since I graduated,

00:17:30.843 --> 00:17:32.044
obviously three years before that.

00:17:32.644 --> 00:17:35.185
I don't think I've ever heard anybody not

00:17:35.266 --> 00:17:36.547
speak highly of LAMP.

00:17:37.207 --> 00:17:39.087
Every time it gets brought up in a

00:17:39.147 --> 00:17:42.049
happy hour or on a stage,

00:17:42.069 --> 00:17:43.371
people are always selling LAMP,

00:17:43.530 --> 00:17:46.513
and they're not even –

00:17:45.509 --> 00:17:46.609
not leader they're not selling it they're

00:17:46.650 --> 00:17:48.550
like i went through this you should do

00:17:48.570 --> 00:17:50.151
this like they're really just telling

00:17:50.171 --> 00:17:51.551
people to come along with them so kudos

00:17:51.571 --> 00:17:54.112
yeah and so i think it's really important

00:17:54.132 --> 00:17:57.173
to honor our past honor our present and

00:17:57.252 --> 00:18:00.074
honor our future because we've had so many

00:18:00.114 --> 00:18:03.414
people over so many years decades that

00:18:03.454 --> 00:18:05.474
have contributed to this space in this

00:18:05.494 --> 00:18:08.415
conversation and so i think you know we've

00:18:08.435 --> 00:18:10.297
been able to make some of these things

00:18:10.356 --> 00:18:11.277
come alive

00:18:11.965 --> 00:18:14.166
and really powerful because of the

00:18:14.186 --> 00:18:15.428
foundation that we've had.

00:18:15.488 --> 00:18:16.929
And so, you know, I just,

00:18:17.068 --> 00:18:19.029
I think we need to acknowledge everybody

00:18:19.130 --> 00:18:21.852
who's being part of this and now Academy.

00:18:21.951 --> 00:18:23.792
All right.

00:18:23.833 --> 00:18:25.253
So give us a little front tease.

00:18:25.334 --> 00:18:25.794
What are we taught?

00:18:25.814 --> 00:18:26.954
What do you get to talk about this

00:18:26.994 --> 00:18:28.756
year at CSM when we go to the

00:18:29.056 --> 00:18:29.556
left coast?

00:18:30.215 --> 00:18:32.518
So, um, I'm going to talk about,

00:18:32.657 --> 00:18:36.299
it's all about passion and,

00:18:36.584 --> 00:18:39.105
That's what leadership is to me at this

00:18:39.144 --> 00:18:39.444
point.

00:18:39.505 --> 00:18:42.046
And I also want to thank the team

00:18:42.185 --> 00:18:43.886
that this is going to be my first

00:18:44.086 --> 00:18:46.607
TED style talk that I've given,

00:18:46.728 --> 00:18:48.407
although I've been involved in LAMP

00:18:48.428 --> 00:18:50.348
leadership for almost two decades.

00:18:50.368 --> 00:18:51.469
So I'm really, really,

00:18:51.528 --> 00:18:54.029
really thrilled to be part of the team.

00:18:54.509 --> 00:18:56.171
And so I have a few things,

00:18:56.230 --> 00:18:58.031
maybe three things that I'd like to share.

00:18:58.192 --> 00:19:01.232
So we all have those tap on the

00:19:01.272 --> 00:19:04.453
shoulder moments when doors and windows

00:19:04.614 --> 00:19:04.894
open.

00:19:05.645 --> 00:19:07.626
And we don't know why they're there.

00:19:08.188 --> 00:19:09.848
And we don't know why we're really being

00:19:09.909 --> 00:19:10.950
tapped on the shoulder.

00:19:11.369 --> 00:19:13.211
But if we pay attention and listen to

00:19:13.250 --> 00:19:16.534
those and go through the doors or climb

00:19:16.554 --> 00:19:17.473
through the windows,

00:19:17.933 --> 00:19:20.375
our journeys and our paths can take us

00:19:20.997 --> 00:19:22.037
in ways,

00:19:22.136 --> 00:19:24.659
in directions that we never thought that

00:19:24.739 --> 00:19:25.940
we could or should.

00:19:26.740 --> 00:19:29.041
And so part of that experience,

00:19:29.102 --> 00:19:31.144
especially with discovering sort of this

00:19:31.243 --> 00:19:33.224
personal leadership, self-leadership,

00:19:33.803 --> 00:19:35.844
So it really, the messages,

00:19:36.164 --> 00:19:39.606
all of us in physical therapy can display

00:19:39.767 --> 00:19:43.028
our leadership and we can lead wherever we

00:19:43.088 --> 00:19:45.130
are at any moment in time.

00:19:45.190 --> 00:19:45.971
And we need that.

00:19:46.030 --> 00:19:48.571
There's such a call for that in healthcare

00:19:48.592 --> 00:19:49.252
at this point.

00:19:49.732 --> 00:19:52.214
And what I discovered was having the

00:19:52.335 --> 00:19:55.616
opportunity to reframe leadership as

00:19:55.717 --> 00:19:57.938
personal leadership, self-leadership,

00:19:58.018 --> 00:19:59.799
meaning all of us can do that,

00:19:59.940 --> 00:20:00.460
be that.

00:20:01.680 --> 00:20:03.181
That's where I found my passion.

00:20:03.281 --> 00:20:06.023
And so I've spent, as I mentioned,

00:20:06.104 --> 00:20:08.404
almost two decades pounding the pavement,

00:20:08.806 --> 00:20:11.067
trying to really build the passion in

00:20:11.247 --> 00:20:15.009
others for this idea and this concept.

00:20:15.510 --> 00:20:17.652
And change requires leadership.

00:20:17.672 --> 00:20:19.173
So going back to transformational

00:20:19.192 --> 00:20:19.693
leadership,

00:20:20.554 --> 00:20:22.855
if we spark leadership at all levels,

00:20:23.276 --> 00:20:26.618
then we can be more influential in

00:20:26.659 --> 00:20:28.039
facilitating that change.

00:20:28.722 --> 00:20:29.742
And so passion,

00:20:29.923 --> 00:20:31.923
the last thing I will say is passion

00:20:32.443 --> 00:20:35.224
is an emotion and emotional intelligence

00:20:35.265 --> 00:20:37.005
is a big part of leadership.

00:20:37.444 --> 00:20:39.586
And so it was so great to be

00:20:39.746 --> 00:20:42.266
able to really hone in on our passion

00:20:42.726 --> 00:20:44.007
and our emotions.

00:20:44.386 --> 00:20:48.428
And that's the fuel that inspires us to

00:20:48.508 --> 00:20:49.347
lead that change.

00:20:50.711 --> 00:20:52.372
Drop the mic, walk off stage, right?

00:20:53.012 --> 00:20:54.794
I'll give you the last thing I'm asking

00:20:54.814 --> 00:20:55.173
each guest.

00:20:56.174 --> 00:20:57.496
Who are the types of people that you

00:20:57.536 --> 00:20:58.717
hope are in the audience?

00:20:58.836 --> 00:21:00.798
And it could be a demographic answer,

00:21:00.818 --> 00:21:01.419
a psychographic.

00:21:02.078 --> 00:21:03.220
Who are you hoping, right?

00:21:03.240 --> 00:21:04.280
Because a lot of these talks,

00:21:04.340 --> 00:21:06.242
I always say, get your flowers,

00:21:06.282 --> 00:21:07.063
get on stage.

00:21:08.064 --> 00:21:10.506
You'll stand there above your colleagues

00:21:10.546 --> 00:21:11.646
for your fifteen minutes of fame.

00:21:12.326 --> 00:21:14.288
I don't know anybody who does that without

00:21:14.328 --> 00:21:14.729
thinking,

00:21:15.148 --> 00:21:17.010
I hope someone steals these ideas or these

00:21:17.090 --> 00:21:18.291
motions and goes and does things.

00:21:18.551 --> 00:21:20.493
Who do you hope is in the audience

00:21:20.513 --> 00:21:21.375
while you're talking?

00:21:22.035 --> 00:21:24.696
Absolutely everyone,

00:21:24.897 --> 00:21:27.180
and that includes our students.

00:21:27.259 --> 00:21:30.662
I know we have thousands of students that

00:21:30.722 --> 00:21:31.884
come to CSM,

00:21:32.364 --> 00:21:34.685
and we absolutely want to make sure that

00:21:34.746 --> 00:21:38.648
students feel welcome and they're included

00:21:38.909 --> 00:21:40.671
because they're just beginning.

00:21:41.222 --> 00:21:42.462
their leadership journeys,

00:21:42.563 --> 00:21:45.605
and we absolutely need them in order to

00:21:45.664 --> 00:21:49.326
push our profession even further.

00:21:49.465 --> 00:21:49.865
Excellent.

00:21:49.925 --> 00:21:50.586
All right, Jennifer,

00:21:50.625 --> 00:21:51.527
go back to the green room.

00:21:51.547 --> 00:21:52.606
We'll talk to you in just a little

00:21:52.626 --> 00:21:52.807
bit.

00:21:52.826 --> 00:21:54.407
We bring on no stranger to the show

00:21:54.468 --> 00:21:54.788
back.

00:21:55.248 --> 00:21:55.667
I don't know,

00:21:55.708 --> 00:21:57.167
half a dozen times on the program.

00:21:57.588 --> 00:21:58.249
Sean Bagney.

00:21:58.269 --> 00:21:59.028
Sean, welcome back, man.

00:21:59.048 --> 00:22:00.430
Thank you.

00:22:00.529 --> 00:22:01.390
Are you talking to me yet?

00:22:02.050 --> 00:22:02.230
No,

00:22:02.651 --> 00:22:03.692
because you always have something good to

00:22:03.731 --> 00:22:03.912
say.

00:22:04.092 --> 00:22:05.912
But I'm going to ask you just reframe

00:22:05.932 --> 00:22:08.272
for the audience what you get to do

00:22:08.333 --> 00:22:09.732
in this pretty cool profession of ours,

00:22:09.792 --> 00:22:10.814
just like your superhero.

00:22:11.854 --> 00:22:13.594
Yeah, there is no superhero.

00:22:13.634 --> 00:22:15.055
But what I get to do is I

00:22:15.075 --> 00:22:17.336
get to help found a company called

00:22:17.375 --> 00:22:18.756
Rehabilitation Performance Institute.

00:22:19.215 --> 00:22:21.596
We have fifteen outpatient physical

00:22:21.616 --> 00:22:23.877
therapy clinics now in the Midwest,

00:22:23.978 --> 00:22:25.298
Indiana, Kentucky and Illinois.

00:22:26.518 --> 00:22:28.398
And we're founded on the fact that health

00:22:28.419 --> 00:22:31.500
care sucks and physical therapy can be the

00:22:31.539 --> 00:22:31.839
change.

00:22:32.693 --> 00:22:34.654
And so that's been my journey.

00:22:34.695 --> 00:22:36.896
And my journey has been don't accept

00:22:37.518 --> 00:22:39.699
status quo and don't accept what other

00:22:39.719 --> 00:22:42.020
people tell you and find your way.

00:22:42.040 --> 00:22:43.642
And that's what I want to talk about

00:22:43.801 --> 00:22:44.622
during my TED talk.

00:22:45.143 --> 00:22:45.663
Is that your talk?

00:22:45.682 --> 00:22:46.703
I mean, you've been physically, you know,

00:22:46.844 --> 00:22:48.204
healthcare sucks and we can fix it.

00:22:48.464 --> 00:22:49.905
Hopefully it's healthcare sucks and this

00:22:49.945 --> 00:22:51.086
is what we can do about it, right?

00:22:51.126 --> 00:22:51.788
What are we looking at?

00:22:51.807 --> 00:22:52.867
Yeah, well,

00:22:53.008 --> 00:22:54.308
it's actually more about the personal

00:22:54.568 --> 00:22:55.970
aspect of what my journey has been.

00:22:57.191 --> 00:23:01.153
Like how I've had to evolve from being

00:23:01.394 --> 00:23:01.413
a...

00:23:03.633 --> 00:23:05.895
someone that enjoyed just taking on every

00:23:05.996 --> 00:23:08.417
aspect of patient care and excited at that

00:23:08.878 --> 00:23:10.760
to really like how we make change on

00:23:11.461 --> 00:23:14.944
a grander stage by no longer doing that

00:23:15.065 --> 00:23:15.486
one-on-one,

00:23:15.546 --> 00:23:18.087
but multiplication and coaching and how

00:23:18.107 --> 00:23:20.109
much harder of a journey that is,

00:23:20.550 --> 00:23:23.213
but how much more rewarding it is when

00:23:23.554 --> 00:23:25.415
we're able to multiply our effect.

00:23:25.756 --> 00:23:26.096
Love that.

00:23:26.613 --> 00:23:27.772
Uh, who,

00:23:28.053 --> 00:23:30.173
since you went so quick through these two

00:23:30.213 --> 00:23:30.534
questions,

00:23:30.554 --> 00:23:31.375
I want to give you a little extra

00:23:31.434 --> 00:23:31.934
time, right?

00:23:32.755 --> 00:23:34.796
Who do you hope the audience and what

00:23:34.836 --> 00:23:35.955
do you hope they do?

00:23:36.296 --> 00:23:36.836
Like what would,

00:23:37.155 --> 00:23:38.136
let me ask you this different way.

00:23:38.317 --> 00:23:39.277
Who do you hope is in the audience

00:23:39.557 --> 00:23:42.038
and what would success look like to you

00:23:42.738 --> 00:23:43.538
a year, three,

00:23:43.637 --> 00:23:46.398
five from now hearing back from those

00:23:46.459 --> 00:23:49.160
people who are in the audience?

00:23:49.240 --> 00:23:49.559
Yeah.

00:23:49.660 --> 00:23:51.441
So who I want in the audience are

00:23:51.480 --> 00:23:54.041
PTAs and VTAs that are passionate about

00:23:54.182 --> 00:23:54.481
like

00:23:55.415 --> 00:23:57.096
making a change in what we do as

00:23:57.116 --> 00:23:57.617
a profession,

00:23:58.357 --> 00:24:00.700
but might not be comfortable in taking on

00:24:00.740 --> 00:24:01.980
that responsibility themselves.

00:24:03.761 --> 00:24:05.962
As we start doing that,

00:24:06.564 --> 00:24:08.384
that's how we become better.

00:24:08.885 --> 00:24:12.288
We have such a connection with our

00:24:12.307 --> 00:24:14.769
patients and our ability to make them

00:24:14.829 --> 00:24:15.190
better.

00:24:16.050 --> 00:24:18.132
And we do a really crappy job of

00:24:18.152 --> 00:24:20.913
taking the accolades for that.

00:24:22.674 --> 00:24:23.875
I want people to understand, like,

00:24:24.416 --> 00:24:26.077
We can change lives.

00:24:26.518 --> 00:24:29.359
We can be the musculoskeletal experts in

00:24:29.380 --> 00:24:31.060
the communities and we can take on that

00:24:31.101 --> 00:24:33.981
responsibility, but it's a responsibility.

00:24:34.383 --> 00:24:35.222
So we have to do that.

00:24:35.262 --> 00:24:36.443
And part of that is being true to

00:24:36.483 --> 00:24:37.084
ourselves and,

00:24:37.804 --> 00:24:39.565
and making sure that we are expanding

00:24:39.585 --> 00:24:39.846
that.

00:24:39.925 --> 00:24:42.467
And so the more PTs and PTAs that

00:24:42.487 --> 00:24:44.347
are willing to take on that risk of

00:24:44.407 --> 00:24:47.589
like being audacious in their career.

00:24:47.630 --> 00:24:48.630
And it doesn't mean you have to be

00:24:48.650 --> 00:24:48.951
an owner.

00:24:49.490 --> 00:24:51.031
It means you're willing to own your

00:24:51.071 --> 00:24:53.272
career, people that will take that on.

00:24:53.832 --> 00:24:55.452
Success for me is seeing more of those

00:24:55.913 --> 00:24:56.673
three to five years,

00:24:56.713 --> 00:24:58.775
people who are willing to fight insurance

00:24:58.835 --> 00:24:59.255
companies,

00:24:59.695 --> 00:25:02.116
people who are willing to not accept that

00:25:02.176 --> 00:25:04.259
I need to see seventy four patients in

00:25:04.318 --> 00:25:06.460
a day because, you know,

00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:07.800
we need to do two hundred percent

00:25:07.840 --> 00:25:08.381
productivity.

00:25:08.401 --> 00:25:09.821
Sure.

00:25:09.862 --> 00:25:12.844
But caring for what you do and doing

00:25:13.503 --> 00:25:14.484
what you're passionate about.

00:25:15.151 --> 00:25:16.612
were really close because you know this

00:25:16.711 --> 00:25:18.632
csm is going to be next to disneyland

00:25:18.912 --> 00:25:21.633
in california and you said with great

00:25:21.673 --> 00:25:23.374
responsibility and i was ready for like

00:25:23.574 --> 00:25:24.994
you drop a spider-man line right with

00:25:25.035 --> 00:25:26.055
great power comes with great

00:25:26.174 --> 00:25:28.195
responsibility and i was waiting for that

00:25:28.236 --> 00:25:30.656
to come up you know um that's a

00:25:30.696 --> 00:25:33.117
great great thing and i will drop this

00:25:33.178 --> 00:25:35.238
one little thing there will be a quote

00:25:36.118 --> 00:25:39.819
in mine from uh when i think the

00:25:39.839 --> 00:25:42.060
best writers all time lynn manuel

00:25:42.864 --> 00:25:43.243
Miranda.

00:25:43.463 --> 00:25:44.944
And so you'll just have to hear that.

00:25:44.964 --> 00:25:46.086
All right.

00:25:46.326 --> 00:25:47.846
All right.

00:25:47.886 --> 00:25:48.467
Back to the green room.

00:25:48.487 --> 00:25:49.807
We'll bring you back for your parting shot

00:25:49.827 --> 00:25:50.588
in just a little bit.

00:25:51.509 --> 00:25:51.990
John Corcoran.

00:25:52.029 --> 00:25:53.609
John, welcome to the podcast.

00:25:54.290 --> 00:25:55.432
Thanks, Jimmy.

00:25:55.471 --> 00:25:56.291
Let's set the stage.

00:25:56.791 --> 00:25:57.932
How do you describe if someone were to

00:25:57.972 --> 00:25:58.553
say, hey, you know,

00:25:58.973 --> 00:26:00.173
where where are you from?

00:26:00.253 --> 00:26:01.755
Not geographically necessarily,

00:26:01.795 --> 00:26:02.875
but from this profession.

00:26:03.256 --> 00:26:04.156
What's your what's your back of the

00:26:04.176 --> 00:26:05.076
baseball card look like?

00:26:05.478 --> 00:26:06.897
Yeah, I started.

00:26:06.917 --> 00:26:07.798
Excuse me.

00:26:07.858 --> 00:26:10.340
I started as a musician before I became

00:26:10.381 --> 00:26:10.681
a P.T.,

00:26:11.618 --> 00:26:14.821
you play i played drums mostly and i

00:26:15.301 --> 00:26:17.403
uh when i was on stage as drums

00:26:17.423 --> 00:26:19.625
but i wrote songs guitar and i still

00:26:19.665 --> 00:26:21.867
do it as a hobby heck yeah i

00:26:21.887 --> 00:26:23.328
just couldn't make it as a living but

00:26:23.568 --> 00:26:25.810
it was such a great um time in

00:26:25.830 --> 00:26:27.492
my life so i still do it as

00:26:27.512 --> 00:26:32.017
a hobby excellent my plan b uh pt

00:26:32.076 --> 00:26:33.718
and and you know it turned out to

00:26:33.758 --> 00:26:36.519
be an amazing plan b i'm now gone

00:26:36.539 --> 00:26:38.281
through every profession

00:26:39.729 --> 00:26:40.950
every job in PT,

00:26:40.970 --> 00:26:43.211
and now I'm the director of rehab at

00:26:43.352 --> 00:26:44.913
NYU Rusk Rehabilitation.

00:26:45.614 --> 00:26:47.234
So it's been a long journey from a

00:26:47.775 --> 00:26:50.916
homeless musician to now the director of a

00:26:50.936 --> 00:26:52.739
large academic program,

00:26:52.759 --> 00:26:56.821
which was really a fun journey.

00:26:56.842 --> 00:26:58.021
And I think in a lot of the

00:26:58.041 --> 00:26:59.804
TED Talks, I talked about that.

00:27:00.023 --> 00:27:01.944
I've done them literally ten years.

00:27:01.984 --> 00:27:03.125
I know it's a ten-year mark.

00:27:03.961 --> 00:27:05.082
And I've done it ten times,

00:27:05.122 --> 00:27:06.482
and one of the talks I gave was,

00:27:06.502 --> 00:27:07.303
you know,

00:27:07.343 --> 00:27:09.623
some of the things as a musician that

00:27:09.682 --> 00:27:10.864
I see in PT.

00:27:10.884 --> 00:27:11.344
You know,

00:27:11.364 --> 00:27:12.663
you wouldn't think there's a lot of

00:27:13.703 --> 00:27:14.403
overlap there,

00:27:14.423 --> 00:27:17.565
but definitely some things I learned from

00:27:18.164 --> 00:27:21.425
different careers that do carry over.

00:27:22.046 --> 00:27:22.425
Yeah.

00:27:22.486 --> 00:27:23.865
Oh, you're just down the Hudson from me,

00:27:24.086 --> 00:27:25.646
and I'm up near West Point.

00:27:26.811 --> 00:27:29.034
So what's a lesson, what's a,

00:27:29.554 --> 00:27:32.676
an approach because you are a musician,

00:27:32.737 --> 00:27:34.557
whether you're doing that for a living,

00:27:34.597 --> 00:27:35.959
you can't, you know,

00:27:35.979 --> 00:27:37.760
you can take the guy out of the

00:27:37.780 --> 00:27:39.001
club or off the stage,

00:27:39.041 --> 00:27:41.103
but you can't change that mentality.

00:27:41.804 --> 00:27:42.765
So what are,

00:27:42.785 --> 00:27:44.605
what is a lesson or a skillset or

00:27:44.705 --> 00:27:46.267
a lens that you look at the world,

00:27:46.307 --> 00:27:48.128
no matter where you are from that

00:27:48.148 --> 00:27:48.608
background?

00:27:48.628 --> 00:27:50.351
You know, I,

00:27:50.431 --> 00:27:51.711
a lot of it to me, you know,

00:27:51.731 --> 00:27:53.353
everyone talks about active listening.

00:27:54.118 --> 00:27:55.920
And I think one of the reasons I've

00:27:56.180 --> 00:27:59.461
been successful in leadership is literally

00:27:59.641 --> 00:28:01.821
learning and knowing before I got into the

00:28:01.842 --> 00:28:03.541
profession how to listen.

00:28:04.001 --> 00:28:06.042
Not just the music, but, you know,

00:28:06.083 --> 00:28:08.243
listen to different parts of instruments,

00:28:08.344 --> 00:28:09.804
different arrangements.

00:28:10.345 --> 00:28:11.865
And I think, you know,

00:28:11.884 --> 00:28:12.925
when you connect with a patient,

00:28:12.945 --> 00:28:14.185
they could tell if you're listening.

00:28:15.071 --> 00:28:16.333
when you connect with your colleagues they

00:28:16.353 --> 00:28:17.854
can tell if you're really listening or

00:28:17.874 --> 00:28:20.055
you're off somewhere else and having that

00:28:20.115 --> 00:28:22.636
focus to really i think too to get

00:28:22.856 --> 00:28:25.038
really professional and an expert in an

00:28:25.159 --> 00:28:26.579
instrument you really got to learn to

00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:28.520
focus and a lot of people have trouble

00:28:28.540 --> 00:28:30.622
with that i i don't that's one i

00:28:30.642 --> 00:28:32.463
mean i have other other challenges like we

00:28:32.503 --> 00:28:34.224
all do but i can focus i can

00:28:34.305 --> 00:28:37.586
listen and patients and staff and my own

00:28:37.626 --> 00:28:40.128
staff i really feel they appreciate that

00:28:40.768 --> 00:28:41.008
Yeah.

00:28:41.028 --> 00:28:43.249
Why are these soft skills so damn hard?

00:28:43.348 --> 00:28:44.269
It's because they're skills.

00:28:44.369 --> 00:28:46.371
And if you don't work on them,

00:28:47.310 --> 00:28:48.811
they atrophy or you don't develop them

00:28:48.872 --> 00:28:49.071
ever.

00:28:49.112 --> 00:28:52.413
And if you do, magically, they get better.

00:28:52.453 --> 00:28:56.615
And a lot of things get simpler,

00:28:56.635 --> 00:28:57.195
not easier,

00:28:57.276 --> 00:29:00.076
simpler if communication is a skill or

00:29:00.096 --> 00:29:00.837
it's not a barrier.

00:29:01.397 --> 00:29:01.998
Absolutely.

00:29:02.798 --> 00:29:03.259
Yeah.

00:29:03.318 --> 00:29:03.519
All right.

00:29:03.538 --> 00:29:04.920
So what are you talking about this year?

00:29:04.940 --> 00:29:06.861
You're no stranger to this style of talk.

00:29:06.921 --> 00:29:07.621
What's the preview?

00:29:08.217 --> 00:29:10.298
The preview is the title of the talk

00:29:10.358 --> 00:29:12.859
is Survival, Life, and Leadership,

00:29:12.901 --> 00:29:14.761
which is this dramatic title,

00:29:15.162 --> 00:29:16.583
but it's really three parts.

00:29:16.742 --> 00:29:17.683
So survival,

00:29:18.404 --> 00:29:20.786
I talk about when I was a brand

00:29:20.806 --> 00:29:21.487
new PT,

00:29:21.846 --> 00:29:23.268
I was working during September

00:29:24.449 --> 00:29:27.352
And that was a very catastrophic time in

00:29:27.412 --> 00:29:29.515
our country and working in a clinic where

00:29:29.535 --> 00:29:32.458
we saw some survivors, a few survivors.

00:29:33.519 --> 00:29:36.241
Then also survivorship in terms of

00:29:36.261 --> 00:29:37.222
Hurricane Sandy,

00:29:37.242 --> 00:29:40.425
which came to the same medical center,

00:29:40.465 --> 00:29:41.166
working through that.

00:29:41.186 --> 00:29:42.607
That's a different style of leadership,

00:29:42.667 --> 00:29:44.750
working during catastrophic times.

00:29:46.086 --> 00:29:47.948
The second part of the talk has to

00:29:47.988 --> 00:29:49.969
do with life lessons.

00:29:50.690 --> 00:29:53.111
And working in an academic medical center,

00:29:53.131 --> 00:29:55.093
I've been privileged to work with some

00:29:55.192 --> 00:29:57.574
really, really interesting patients.

00:29:57.614 --> 00:29:58.755
Like, for example,

00:30:00.777 --> 00:30:03.759
twice I had separated conjoined twins that

00:30:03.798 --> 00:30:04.398
I work with.

00:30:05.480 --> 00:30:06.220
And what I learned,

00:30:06.420 --> 00:30:09.162
they both survived the surgery.

00:30:09.403 --> 00:30:11.084
And what I learned from them and their

00:30:11.124 --> 00:30:11.443
journey

00:30:12.000 --> 00:30:13.260
I talk a little bit about that.

00:30:13.780 --> 00:30:16.083
And then the last part, leadership.

00:30:17.084 --> 00:30:19.346
I've had many great mentors over the

00:30:19.385 --> 00:30:19.746
years,

00:30:20.507 --> 00:30:22.127
and some of the lessons that they've

00:30:22.167 --> 00:30:25.590
provided me have really transformed me

00:30:26.131 --> 00:30:27.972
both at work but outside,

00:30:28.053 --> 00:30:29.153
also my personal life.

00:30:29.193 --> 00:30:31.715
So I bring in a few anecdotes from

00:30:32.636 --> 00:30:32.876
that.

00:30:33.632 --> 00:30:33.951
Perfect.

00:30:33.971 --> 00:30:34.251
All right.

00:30:34.332 --> 00:30:35.592
And you've heard me ask the other guests

00:30:35.652 --> 00:30:35.811
too,

00:30:36.432 --> 00:30:37.813
who do you hope is in the audience?

00:30:37.833 --> 00:30:38.173
But really,

00:30:38.192 --> 00:30:39.472
I think I got better at asking the

00:30:39.492 --> 00:30:41.253
question, the more I asked, which is like,

00:30:41.273 --> 00:30:42.013
you know, who do you hope is there,

00:30:42.034 --> 00:30:42.594
but also like,

00:30:42.614 --> 00:30:44.614
what do you hope you hear about a

00:30:44.854 --> 00:30:46.394
year, three, five years later?

00:30:46.974 --> 00:30:47.555
You know,

00:30:47.595 --> 00:30:49.414
I would love to have a lot of

00:30:49.515 --> 00:30:50.276
students in there.

00:30:50.316 --> 00:30:51.695
And we tend to do at CSM,

00:30:51.776 --> 00:30:54.737
you know, coming from a music background,

00:30:54.997 --> 00:30:55.957
I'm not really proud of this,

00:30:55.977 --> 00:30:57.396
but I almost, you know,

00:30:57.436 --> 00:30:59.377
college wasn't really something I was

00:30:59.657 --> 00:31:00.298
going to do.

00:31:00.357 --> 00:31:01.538
And I I'm glad I did.

00:31:02.625 --> 00:31:04.105
having students there and saying, listen,

00:31:04.125 --> 00:31:05.405
if I can do this, you can,

00:31:05.826 --> 00:31:05.986
you know,

00:31:06.006 --> 00:31:07.546
if you're interested in this and you want

00:31:07.566 --> 00:31:08.486
to get into leadership,

00:31:08.806 --> 00:31:10.166
here's a guy who is, you know,

00:31:10.567 --> 00:31:12.666
driving around the country in a van with

00:31:12.747 --> 00:31:15.048
a band, you know, and now, um,

00:31:15.587 --> 00:31:15.827
you know,

00:31:15.887 --> 00:31:17.388
if you really want to get the leadership,

00:31:17.689 --> 00:31:18.469
I'm not, you know,

00:31:18.528 --> 00:31:20.269
that normal trajectory of it,

00:31:20.308 --> 00:31:21.569
but you can do it.

00:31:21.769 --> 00:31:23.250
And I think I can help students.

00:31:23.762 --> 00:31:26.028
who do have an interest in leadership from

00:31:26.067 --> 00:31:28.374
maybe a non-traditional pathway into it.

00:31:28.835 --> 00:31:32.363
I'd love to see that and talk to

00:31:32.403 --> 00:31:33.105
people like that.

00:31:33.492 --> 00:31:35.473
There's a lot more people than you think

00:31:35.534 --> 00:31:36.535
coming to this profession

00:31:36.595 --> 00:31:37.454
non-traditionally.

00:31:37.494 --> 00:31:38.596
I know we all, I mean, look,

00:31:38.756 --> 00:31:40.156
John and I, we're wearing the ties, man.

00:31:40.176 --> 00:31:41.057
We look all straight laced,

00:31:41.077 --> 00:31:42.357
but this guy's over here banging on the

00:31:42.397 --> 00:31:44.279
drums like in a former life, right?

00:31:44.339 --> 00:31:46.161
I was pushing play and talking into a

00:31:46.221 --> 00:31:48.442
microphone and you can learn a lot from

00:31:48.501 --> 00:31:49.262
those things.

00:31:49.343 --> 00:31:51.223
This is the different things that you

00:31:51.243 --> 00:31:52.704
didn't know could be valuable.

00:31:52.805 --> 00:31:53.085
All right, John,

00:31:53.105 --> 00:31:53.964
I'm gonna put you back in the green

00:31:53.984 --> 00:31:54.086
room.

00:31:54.105 --> 00:31:55.526
We'll bring you back for your parting

00:31:55.546 --> 00:31:55.906
shot.

00:31:56.346 --> 00:31:57.528
No stranger to the show.

00:31:58.167 --> 00:31:59.868
Kristen Walls, there she is.

00:32:00.548 --> 00:32:02.269
Pivoting to the cell phone there, I see.

00:32:02.328 --> 00:32:03.549
Yeah, we had a little connection problem.

00:32:03.589 --> 00:32:04.990
Hi, Jimmy.

00:32:05.009 --> 00:32:06.250
I can't hear anything right now.

00:32:07.090 --> 00:32:07.931
Can't hear anything right now?

00:32:07.951 --> 00:32:08.510
All right.

00:32:08.550 --> 00:32:09.111
Well,

00:32:09.131 --> 00:32:11.412
Kristen comes to us because she's taught

00:32:11.471 --> 00:32:12.231
and led LAMP.

00:32:12.332 --> 00:32:13.492
I'll put you back in the green room,

00:32:13.532 --> 00:32:14.333
bring back Susan.

00:32:14.593 --> 00:32:16.452
Susan, this is called pivoting in LAMP.

00:32:16.472 --> 00:32:17.693
All right.

00:32:19.233 --> 00:32:20.335
What's Kristen's background?

00:32:20.355 --> 00:32:21.035
Do you know it?

00:32:21.055 --> 00:32:22.075
What do you know about Kristen's

00:32:22.095 --> 00:32:22.295
background?

00:32:22.315 --> 00:32:22.555
Oh, my gosh.

00:32:22.575 --> 00:32:25.236
Kristen is absolutely amazing.

00:32:25.722 --> 00:32:27.604
She is a physical therapist,

00:32:27.723 --> 00:32:29.825
worked with the OSU athletes.

00:32:30.305 --> 00:32:31.365
And I'm not going to say the word

00:32:31.505 --> 00:32:33.185
the in front of it, you know,

00:32:33.226 --> 00:32:36.567
because in the Big Ten around here,

00:32:36.606 --> 00:32:38.607
we say go Hoosiers and Boiler Up.

00:32:38.627 --> 00:32:38.708
Yeah.

00:32:38.728 --> 00:32:41.368
Congratulations, by the way.

00:32:41.828 --> 00:32:42.108
I know.

00:32:42.229 --> 00:32:42.509
Right.

00:32:42.548 --> 00:32:44.910
But I'm more of a Boilermaker.

00:32:45.230 --> 00:32:48.270
All right.

00:32:48.290 --> 00:32:49.191
So what do we want to talk about

00:32:49.211 --> 00:32:50.251
in terms of Kristen's talk?

00:32:50.551 --> 00:32:51.852
So Kristen, you know,

00:32:51.951 --> 00:32:53.313
I don't know what Kristen's talk is.

00:32:53.751 --> 00:32:57.473
I know Kristen has made several career

00:32:57.493 --> 00:32:59.555
moves from working with athletes to

00:32:59.595 --> 00:33:01.557
working in the clinic to running a clinic.

00:33:01.576 --> 00:33:06.398
She built an amazing performance center.

00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:09.421
She decided to pivot because she has two

00:33:09.461 --> 00:33:11.563
young, amazing, gorgeous girls.

00:33:12.182 --> 00:33:14.263
And so she pivoted to a whole different

00:33:14.384 --> 00:33:16.945
area of health care to be at home.

00:33:17.086 --> 00:33:19.446
And she does utilization review for

00:33:19.826 --> 00:33:20.708
insurance companies.

00:33:21.172 --> 00:33:23.333
which if someone's gonna review my chart

00:33:23.492 --> 00:33:24.613
and say how many visits I get,

00:33:24.873 --> 00:33:25.893
I want it to be Kristen.

00:33:27.153 --> 00:33:28.574
Oh, maybe she's coming back.

00:33:28.794 --> 00:33:29.834
Can you hear us now, Kristen?

00:33:29.854 --> 00:33:31.335
I can hear you.

00:33:32.474 --> 00:33:33.674
Could you hear everything I said?

00:33:33.714 --> 00:33:34.654
Was that pretty spot on?

00:33:34.674 --> 00:33:34.895
All right,

00:33:35.776 --> 00:33:36.875
I think we're a little bit delayed,

00:33:36.895 --> 00:33:38.957
but that's okay.

00:33:38.997 --> 00:33:39.336
Kristen,

00:33:39.356 --> 00:33:40.876
just give people the back of the baseball

00:33:40.916 --> 00:33:42.257
card, frame them up.

00:33:42.297 --> 00:33:43.117
Who do you get to be?

00:33:43.157 --> 00:33:46.999
Who are you in this profession?

00:33:47.098 --> 00:33:47.878
I can't hear you.

00:33:49.161 --> 00:33:50.942
right well story of my life me talking

00:33:50.961 --> 00:33:52.442
and people not listening or not being able

00:33:52.461 --> 00:33:53.482
to hear me that's just really what it

00:33:53.502 --> 00:33:55.002
looks like all right let's bring all the

00:34:05.688 --> 00:34:07.748
network of clinics focused on developing

00:34:07.788 --> 00:34:09.728
clinicians not burning them out leadership

00:34:09.768 --> 00:34:11.269
tracks mentorship career growth

00:34:11.750 --> 00:34:13.471
and the stability to build your future in

00:34:13.490 --> 00:34:13.972
PT.

00:34:14.472 --> 00:34:15.753
If you want a place that supports you

00:34:15.793 --> 00:34:17.875
and how you want to practice, that's USPH.

00:34:17.994 --> 00:34:19.456
Find them at USPH.com.

00:34:19.916 --> 00:34:21.137
That's USPH.com.

00:34:21.157 --> 00:34:22.458
See how we just slipped the live reading

00:34:22.617 --> 00:34:23.518
in there as we're pivoting?

00:34:23.958 --> 00:34:25.199
Kristen, if you can hear us,

00:34:25.639 --> 00:34:26.400
give us a thumbs up.

00:34:26.460 --> 00:34:28.141
If not, we'll pivot to everybody else.

00:34:29.623 --> 00:34:31.224
Lori, let's go to your parting shot.

00:34:31.264 --> 00:34:32.885
What's the last thing you'd want the

00:34:33.005 --> 00:34:36.007
audience to leave thinking about?

00:34:36.027 --> 00:34:36.367
I can't.

00:34:36.487 --> 00:34:36.568
Yay!

00:34:42.096 --> 00:34:42.416
You know,

00:34:42.496 --> 00:34:44.538
I use a few quotes and one is

00:34:44.619 --> 00:34:46.280
psychologist Vivian Brewer.

00:34:46.400 --> 00:34:48.501
And she said that when people talk,

00:34:48.942 --> 00:34:50.603
the world gets constructed.

00:34:50.643 --> 00:34:51.483
And that's what we do.

00:34:51.543 --> 00:34:52.925
We talk with our patients,

00:34:52.965 --> 00:34:54.246
we talk with our team,

00:34:54.646 --> 00:34:56.128
we talk with other leaders.

00:34:56.588 --> 00:34:57.949
And I want everybody,

00:34:58.269 --> 00:35:01.172
students and people who work in clinical

00:35:01.192 --> 00:35:03.153
practice and leaders at different

00:35:03.875 --> 00:35:04.594
positions,

00:35:05.235 --> 00:35:07.257
just to understand they have a huge

00:35:07.438 --> 00:35:08.318
opportunity

00:35:09.119 --> 00:35:11.942
to with others construct the world that

00:35:11.981 --> 00:35:13.483
they want to see together.

00:35:14.423 --> 00:35:14.844
Love that.

00:35:14.963 --> 00:35:16.244
Good parting shot.

00:35:17.306 --> 00:35:17.686
Jennifer,

00:35:17.706 --> 00:35:18.907
we'll go parting shot next with you.

00:35:18.927 --> 00:35:19.849
What do you want to leave with the

00:35:19.889 --> 00:35:20.309
audience?

00:35:21.010 --> 00:35:23.351
So I just want you to know that

00:35:23.572 --> 00:35:26.815
feeling passionate is fun.

00:35:27.635 --> 00:35:31.518
And I really want to help everybody or

00:35:31.559 --> 00:35:34.922
to ask them what their passion is,

00:35:34.961 --> 00:35:36.182
what they're passionate about.

00:35:36.811 --> 00:35:39.612
and really feel that and let that guide

00:35:39.652 --> 00:35:43.213
you in your professional leadership

00:35:43.293 --> 00:35:43.614
journey.

00:35:44.494 --> 00:35:45.014
Love it.

00:35:45.034 --> 00:35:46.315
Sean, you've done this before.

00:35:46.454 --> 00:35:47.735
No stranger to the parting shot.

00:35:47.755 --> 00:35:48.476
What do you want to leave with you?

00:35:48.496 --> 00:35:49.536
What's your mic drop moment?

00:35:51.556 --> 00:35:53.356
This is an opportunity for people to hear

00:35:53.416 --> 00:35:56.117
the stories of so many people that have

00:35:56.157 --> 00:35:57.498
affected the profession of physical

00:35:57.518 --> 00:35:57.938
therapy.

00:35:58.739 --> 00:36:01.880
And it's not an instantaneous moment

00:36:01.900 --> 00:36:02.480
you're looking at.

00:36:03.061 --> 00:36:04.081
This is generational.

00:36:04.625 --> 00:36:05.905
And we need people to take up the

00:36:05.925 --> 00:36:08.306
next generation and leave this profession

00:36:08.327 --> 00:36:10.108
where it needs to go.

00:36:10.168 --> 00:36:12.570
That with the voice and the beard sounds

00:36:12.630 --> 00:36:13.451
very serious.

00:36:13.510 --> 00:36:13.851
Good.

00:36:13.931 --> 00:36:14.391
All right, John,

00:36:14.411 --> 00:36:15.311
all the way from New York City,

00:36:15.331 --> 00:36:16.353
what's your parting shot today?

00:36:16.893 --> 00:36:19.775
Parting shot is these skills can be

00:36:19.835 --> 00:36:20.175
learned.

00:36:20.476 --> 00:36:22.257
A lot of people feel leadership is

00:36:22.317 --> 00:36:23.938
something people have or you don't.

00:36:24.706 --> 00:36:25.266
But guess what?

00:36:25.327 --> 00:36:27.327
You can learn it and you should come,

00:36:27.347 --> 00:36:29.367
get involved with LAMP, come to the talk.

00:36:30.007 --> 00:36:31.987
We're going to teach and we're also

00:36:32.027 --> 00:36:33.449
available to help you.

00:36:33.949 --> 00:36:35.768
Many students come out unprepared for

00:36:35.809 --> 00:36:37.248
leadership until recently.

00:36:38.449 --> 00:36:39.849
Jennifer's course,

00:36:40.190 --> 00:36:41.510
most students are scared of this,

00:36:41.969 --> 00:36:43.911
but we can help you and you can

00:36:43.951 --> 00:36:44.271
learn it.

00:36:45.490 --> 00:36:46.090
All right, Kristen,

00:36:46.110 --> 00:36:47.630
do we have the audio back together?

00:36:47.670 --> 00:36:49.592
How's that looking?

00:36:49.692 --> 00:36:50.291
I think so.

00:36:50.391 --> 00:36:50.992
Can you hear me?

00:36:51.971 --> 00:36:53.110
A little bit, you're a little delayed.

00:36:53.170 --> 00:36:53.492
Kristen,

00:36:53.512 --> 00:36:56.152
give people context real quick about who

00:36:56.172 --> 00:36:57.233
you are in the profession.

00:36:58.652 --> 00:36:59.092
Okay.

00:36:59.693 --> 00:37:00.934
I'm Kristen Walls.

00:37:01.534 --> 00:37:03.914
My background is I'm a residency trained

00:37:03.934 --> 00:37:04.755
sports PT,

00:37:05.115 --> 00:37:06.755
worked in collegiate athletics and

00:37:06.815 --> 00:37:07.976
outpatient ortho,

00:37:08.436 --> 00:37:10.597
and have now found my way into kind

00:37:10.657 --> 00:37:12.777
of non-clinical work on the utilization

00:37:12.838 --> 00:37:13.257
side.

00:37:15.018 --> 00:37:15.219
Yeah.

00:37:15.318 --> 00:37:17.480
And then I'm active in my state chapter

00:37:17.519 --> 00:37:18.059
in Ohio.

00:37:18.786 --> 00:37:20.487
And within the Academy of Leadership and

00:37:20.527 --> 00:37:22.128
Innovation with LAMP leadership,

00:37:22.507 --> 00:37:26.409
I'm also the education chair for the

00:37:26.429 --> 00:37:26.851
Academy.

00:37:26.911 --> 00:37:27.971
All right.

00:37:28.010 --> 00:37:29.092
What are you jumping on stage?

00:37:29.132 --> 00:37:29.871
What's the story?

00:37:29.952 --> 00:37:31.293
Here's your chance to sort of tease

00:37:31.353 --> 00:37:33.173
forward and put butts in seats coming up.

00:37:33.213 --> 00:37:35.175
And I'll give the details about when the

00:37:35.215 --> 00:37:36.135
session is all that.

00:37:36.175 --> 00:37:37.336
Focus on the story.

00:37:39.518 --> 00:37:40.117
Sure.

00:37:40.177 --> 00:37:40.318
Well,

00:37:40.338 --> 00:37:42.360
first I want to say congratulations on

00:37:42.400 --> 00:37:44.960
being the recipient of our LAMP Lighter

00:37:45.061 --> 00:37:47.422
Award for twenty twenty five, Jimmy.

00:37:47.483 --> 00:37:48.063
Big deal.

00:37:49.563 --> 00:37:51.443
Appreciate it.

00:37:51.483 --> 00:37:52.324
Yes.

00:37:52.344 --> 00:37:53.445
But my story,

00:37:54.385 --> 00:37:56.726
the one I gave in Boston was called

00:37:56.786 --> 00:37:57.608
Don't Shrink.

00:37:58.148 --> 00:38:00.009
So it was about kind of finding your

00:38:00.048 --> 00:38:01.650
purpose and moving towards

00:38:02.329 --> 00:38:03.110
self-leadership.

00:38:03.471 --> 00:38:05.452
And this is also a self-leadership story

00:38:05.512 --> 00:38:07.152
called You Matter Too.

00:38:07.992 --> 00:38:10.994
And it's kind of my exploration and

00:38:11.155 --> 00:38:13.235
finding myself after being

00:38:14.090 --> 00:38:15.851
lost in the role of being a physical

00:38:15.891 --> 00:38:18.333
therapist and forgetting myself along the

00:38:18.353 --> 00:38:20.954
way so that that self-abandonment that

00:38:21.016 --> 00:38:24.016
many of us feel um as providers and

00:38:24.077 --> 00:38:26.358
parents and the sandwich generation

00:38:26.398 --> 00:38:28.300
everything in between it's you know don't

00:38:28.320 --> 00:38:30.380
forget yourself along the way and care for

00:38:30.400 --> 00:38:33.043
yourself love it all right well you're no

00:38:33.063 --> 00:38:34.423
stranger to the show you know how we

00:38:34.463 --> 00:38:36.184
wrap up what's the parting shot you'd want

00:38:36.224 --> 00:38:37.146
to leave with the audience

00:38:39.079 --> 00:38:39.719
Yeah.

00:38:39.739 --> 00:38:41.059
So every audience,

00:38:41.599 --> 00:38:43.300
I think anyone who's maybe feeling that

00:38:43.340 --> 00:38:45.121
should be coming to the TED Talks and

00:38:45.141 --> 00:38:46.862
maybe hearing this ten minute story just

00:38:46.902 --> 00:38:48.184
for inspiration and connection.

00:38:48.744 --> 00:38:51.485
But my big, you know,

00:38:51.505 --> 00:38:52.907
parting shot would be and I think it's

00:38:52.947 --> 00:38:54.987
kind of consistent for every podcast I've

00:38:55.007 --> 00:38:57.128
done with you is provide your wellness and

00:38:57.168 --> 00:38:59.751
professional sustainability has to be in

00:38:59.791 --> 00:39:01.711
the forefront and the leaders get to help

00:39:02.291 --> 00:39:03.972
drive that and be a part of that.

00:39:05.800 --> 00:39:08.463
So I would say let's make this a

00:39:08.503 --> 00:39:08.882
focus.

00:39:08.922 --> 00:39:10.744
Let's continue to keep our workforce

00:39:10.784 --> 00:39:13.146
together and healthy.

00:39:13.186 --> 00:39:13.726
Sounds great.

00:39:14.106 --> 00:39:14.507
Perfect.

00:39:14.586 --> 00:39:15.507
All right.

00:39:15.527 --> 00:39:16.429
No pressure, Susan,

00:39:16.449 --> 00:39:17.769
but you get to back clean up here

00:39:17.789 --> 00:39:18.570
with a parting shot.

00:39:18.590 --> 00:39:19.371
What do you want to leave with the

00:39:19.411 --> 00:39:20.592
audience as we wrap up?

00:39:21.492 --> 00:39:24.114
I would say this talk is amazing for

00:39:24.193 --> 00:39:27.257
anybody who's had any sort of

00:39:27.396 --> 00:39:30.579
uncomfortable feeling in their profession

00:39:30.639 --> 00:39:31.760
as a PT, right?

00:39:32.454 --> 00:39:33.835
all leave i've talked about the big l

00:39:33.876 --> 00:39:35.818
and the little l a lot of our

00:39:35.958 --> 00:39:38.820
ted style talks come from a place of

00:39:39.940 --> 00:39:41.061
of getting comfortable with the

00:39:41.121 --> 00:39:43.983
uncomfortable right of a time when you've

00:39:44.003 --> 00:39:46.045
had to grow a time of when you've

00:39:46.105 --> 00:39:49.708
had to figure something out and again when

00:39:49.768 --> 00:39:51.349
i went to my first one i got

00:39:51.369 --> 00:39:52.730
there and i thought oh my gosh i'm

00:39:52.769 --> 00:39:54.291
not the only one that went through

00:39:54.351 --> 00:39:56.432
something like that oh they went through

00:39:56.452 --> 00:39:58.193
that too and that's how they got through

00:39:58.273 --> 00:40:00.715
it um it's it's just

00:40:01.943 --> 00:40:05.485
It's an amazing way to connect with others

00:40:05.867 --> 00:40:07.527
who have gone through something similar.

00:40:07.588 --> 00:40:09.389
You may not connect with every single

00:40:09.449 --> 00:40:09.989
talk,

00:40:10.490 --> 00:40:12.373
but I guarantee if you are a physical

00:40:12.413 --> 00:40:16.456
therapist in any sort of practice or work,

00:40:17.376 --> 00:40:18.818
somebody is going to have something on

00:40:18.838 --> 00:40:20.320
that stage that you're going to connect

00:40:20.380 --> 00:40:22.822
with and feel better because of it.

00:40:22.842 --> 00:40:23.202
Yeah.

00:40:23.862 --> 00:40:25.204
And the funny part is just how it

00:40:25.224 --> 00:40:25.545
happens.

00:40:25.585 --> 00:40:26.806
The people who are in the audience in

00:40:26.826 --> 00:40:27.666
a couple of years,

00:40:28.990 --> 00:40:30.110
You're going to be telling one of those

00:40:30.150 --> 00:40:31.070
stories on stage.

00:40:31.452 --> 00:40:32.291
It's in the show notes,

00:40:32.311 --> 00:40:33.132
but I will say it here.

00:40:33.172 --> 00:40:34.351
The LAMP leadership style,

00:40:34.552 --> 00:40:35.391
TED style talks,

00:40:35.771 --> 00:40:38.172
shared lessons on leading within and

00:40:38.213 --> 00:40:38.813
leading others.

00:40:38.932 --> 00:40:40.313
Thursday, February twelfth.

00:40:40.393 --> 00:40:41.793
That's two o'clock p.m.

00:40:41.813 --> 00:40:42.753
to three thirty.

00:40:43.293 --> 00:40:45.253
Check your APTA app and check your

00:40:45.273 --> 00:40:46.655
programs at home.

00:40:46.954 --> 00:40:47.974
Hey, thanks for doing this.

00:40:48.195 --> 00:40:49.434
Congrats on a decade.

00:40:49.894 --> 00:40:51.775
Getting people together, you know,

00:40:51.936 --> 00:40:52.755
once is difficult.

00:40:52.795 --> 00:40:54.076
Never mind ten times in a row.

00:40:54.436 --> 00:40:56.277
So thanks so much for sharing here.

00:40:56.297 --> 00:40:57.376
And we'll see you guys in L.A.

00:41:01.898 --> 00:41:02.418
Thanks, Jimmy.

00:41:02.619 --> 00:41:03.400
See, Keith?

00:41:03.460 --> 00:41:04.219
We read the script.

00:41:04.300 --> 00:41:04.820
Happy now?
