Sometimes just taking a deep breath and engaging in our playful sides is exactly what we need to reset and reengage in news ways in the business. Love this reminder Hayley that laughter, creativity, teamwork, and play can have a significant impact on our connections and our joy. #wellness #joy #teamwork #impact #BusinessPerformance

Some dates are always special such as today, the date when we launched Silver Talkies Club six years ago in 2018, based on the inputs from attendees of our events. They wanted to meet more often, know their co-participants better and have more fun and engaging opportunities. Hence Silver Talkies Club was born in a time and age when active ageing, loneliness and isolation among older adults were not spoken about or discussed much in our country. I was in fact told by many peers that I was playing in a small niche field. Fast forward to 2024, almost every new player in the senior care space is looking at addressing similar issues with similar models. Did we start too early or did they start too late? I think it is immaterial for as they say that all's well that ends well. What is most heartening for me is to note that in the pic below all the people who became members in 2018 are still members in 2024, with the exception of one member whom we lost a few months ago. Six years of relationship still doing strong! So we must be doing something right:) Cheers to healthy ageing! #olderadults #activeageing #seniorcare #healthyageing #anniversary

Celebrating 2 years of making the marketing magic happen at Aha Media Group 💖 People often ask me how I went from owning a coffee shop and bakery to healthcare marketing. A lot of the things I do in life are strategic. But most of them (often the best of them) just sort of naturally evolve from the people I meet and interests I pursue. Story time! I started growing my coffee business the year Facebook first allowed non-college students to join. There were no business accounts back then. I built a social media strategy around The SweetSpot having a personal profile. First name: The SweetSpot Last name: Coffee Shop Relationship status: It’s complicated I became obsessed with social media marketing. Growing followers 100x and revenue 10x over 10 years. When I graphed it out, the correlation was uncanny. A few years into that, I started teaching other small business owners how to use social media to build their brands. I wanted to know everything I could about social and local SEO so I could share it with others. So I gobbled up every resource I could. In 2016 I took a class on content marketing from Andy Crestodina and it opened my eyes to a world beyond local SEO and social. I have a tendency to go all in on something I’m interested in so … hello, new obsession! Content marketing! ✨ When I sold my business 4 years later, I knew I wanted to focus solely on marketing. After a couple of years working as a consultant across almost every industry you can imagine (no, seriously, I did everything from Pinterest marketing for Gulf Shores Tourism to web copy for industrial saw blade sharpeners), I wanted to find a role where I could learn more and focus on growing a brand. I reached back out to Andy, who is as generous with his time as he is with his expertise. He put me in touch with his marketing director, Amanda Gant, who met with me and said … “I know just the role for you”. A few days later I was interviewing with Ahava Leibtag and felt immediately and inexplicably “at home”. That feeling of just clicking into place. The next month, I had a new job. And my new obsessions are patient experience, health literacy, and AI in healthcare. … There’s a lot more to that story. Like how I was sitting by the pool in a campground in Palm Springs, CA when I met with Andy… Or how I did my Aha Media onboarding from the back of my RV as we drove through Oklahoma… But today I am focusing the power of: 1. Pursuing interests obsessively 2. Reaching out and building connections Both take a growth mindset and a little bit of bravery. And I would not be here today without them. … P.S. Big thanks to Andy and Amanda for your help in guiding me here.

Someone told me thank you for my work the other day. It was not unusual, and it was not a huge, public recognition. Just a simple thank you. And that simple thank you uplifted my day. I was physically, mentally, and emotionally spent. But that one thank you energized me. Here’s why: - It reminded me that the work I was doing, regardless of any external factors, impacted others positively at the end of the day. My work was of service, and it reminded me of that. - It reminded me that whatever challenges I may face, it all pales in comparison to the kindness and support found in these relationships. - It reignited my passion for that specific task/project that I could find no motivation for in that moment. - It showed me that even that small task I completed for this person made a big difference in biting off pieces of that large and looming project. That small act of gratitude reminded me that the large project was doable, through small wins. A kind word goes a long way! I was (and continue to always be) immensely grateful for these small (yet hugely impactful) moments of exchanged kindness and care.

Today marks my 13th Anniversary as a member of The Brydens Group. I feel privileged to have had the chance to collaborate with influential individuals who have enabled me to forge a fulfilling path while contributing value to the organization. Reflecting on my journey, if you had asked me at the outset if I envisioned myself in my current role, I would likely have answered affirmatively. I have always been driven and recognized the unique skillset I possess and how it can effectively be utilized. My philosophy includes volunteering my talents where I believe they can make a difference, regardless of personal gain. This approach has not only opened doors to unforeseen opportunities but also allowed me to display abilities beyond my designated responsibilities. At Brydens, I have transitioned from Brand Manager to Business Development Manager and now Group Corporate Affairs Manager—a career trajectory that aligns perfectly with my aspirations. Each role has been a learning experience, allowing me to refine my skills and maintain a perpetual sense of excitement. Ultimately, it boils down to comprehending your value. In essence, if you view yourself as a brand, what principles do you stand for? My journey highlights the significance of hard work, belief, and being a bit of a dreamer. Defining your identity and ensuring that you consistently deliver on it is paramount. As I celebrate 13 years with Brydens with great enthusiasm, I hope, in your journey, you too have a narrative of growth and self-discovery, where you have carved out opportunities by recognizing your inherent value.

I've noticed that practices most successful in their partnership with Mascotte share certain traits. These characteristics are not unique to any single client but are commonly seen in those who fully harness our services. A prime illustration of these attributes is seen in practices such as WoofDoctor On Wheels led by Dr. Douglas Cifranick. They serve as a model for how integrating Mascotte into daily operations can greatly benefit a practice. Here's what enables them and other successful practices to fully leverage Mascotte: 1- Treating Mascotte as a "Real" Team Member: Successful practices ensure that our techs & veterinary assistants are fully integrated into their teams, with a seamless onboarding and communication process akin to that of their own staff. 2- Investing in Relationship Building: They recognize the importance of forming real connections with their dedicated Mascotte techs, a strategy that enhances our collaboration and contributes to shared achievements. 3- Consistent Communication: Keeping open lines of communication, especially early on, allows them to quickly address any issues, leading to smoother operations. 4- Clearly Defined Roles and Processes: These practices have a clear understanding of the tasks Mascotte should handle, supported by effective systems to track progress and outcomes, and provide feedback. 5- Digital-first: Having a digital-first mindset embedded in the practice's DNA enhances collaboration, making these practices particularly adept at integrating and benefiting from Mascotte's tech-enabled support.

Financial well-being is such an important topic and conversion to have, really great to spend talking to Emily Trant Richard Fleming and Max Lintott about it. #wagestream #financialwellbeing #supedrug and #savershb
