INVESTMENTS AND VALUE

Wow.  This year is flying by!  Since my last newsletter, my colleague Karen Ahern and I have attended a fantastic conference in Atlanta focused on personal, professional and business leadership and truly owning our value as pharmacists, as healthcare professionals, as women. 

We celebrate our fabulous, courageous pharmacy clients, dedicated to leading from the front, so they can be the best they can be and inspire commitment to their vision and goals. 

We are also celebrating that finally, finally, some of the projects we have been diligently working on behind the scenes have come to fruition AND we are so excited to share them with you. 

Read on to 

  • discover how successful pharmacy leaders role-model excellence, motivate and inspire their teams and negotiate win-win agreements
  • learn how to bring your pharmacy consultation skills to the next level, so that you not only provide excellent advice but that you also inspire your customers and patients to tap into their own motivation, so they ACT on your advice
  • avail of the opportunity to register you and your staff to gain free, immediate access to 4Front's new online OTC training platform, designed to support you and your team to improve health outcomes, create lasting relationships and build business revenue

Health and Wellness Coaching Community of Practice

Supports Pharmacy Core Competency Domain 5: Public Health

Rachel is proud to be co-leader of the International Coach Federation's (ICF) Health and Wellness Coaching Community of Practice.  The Health and Wellness Coaching Community of Practice is a member benefit for ICF Professional Coaches.  This month, we were honoured to host Dr Judson Brewer, MD, PhD, co-author of 'The Craving Mind', Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Director of Research and Innovation at Brown University addressed the subject of 'How Mindfulness Helps us Hack our Minds for Effective Habit Change.'  

Ever wondered why habits as diverse as smoking and smart phone use are so addictive? 

Finding the answers to help people overcome cravings, through the application of mindfulness techniques has been the subject of Dr Brewer's research work.  So, if you have ANY interest in understanding how and why our mind craves things that are ultimately destructive to our health and happiness and to understand what the research says about how mindfulness can help break the habit cycle, I highly recommend the following resources.
