Healthcare- “It Is What It Is”…The Trials,
Tribulations, and Triumphs of our Healthcare System.
Dr. Doug Lewis KNOWS Healthcare! He has seen many trials, tribulations
and triumphs through his 30 years plus of experience in various
administrative and clinical positions and as a patient in the
healthcare system. His wealth of experience, insight, and empathy
are powerful forces in his ongoing interactions with patients,
vendors, healthcare providers, legal and regulatory personnel
and organizations. His expertise spans a wide gambit of inpatient
and outpatient rehabilitative and diagnostic experiences working
in long term, acute, palliative, and homecare venues, medical
and legal/compliance arenas, healthcare education and promotion,
and of course as a patient himself.
Dr. Lewis’s ongoing experience as a healthcare provider,
administrator, and consultant serves him well as in viewing
the system from both a patient and provider perspective. Dr.
Lewis’s advice can HELP YOU develop strategies to navigate
your way through our complicated healthcare system.
Time Management- “Waste Not, Want Not!”
Our lives always seem to revolve around our abilities to use
our time wisely and are routinely oriented around Zeitgebers
(Time Givers) such as a clock. Dr. Doug Lewis too leads a very
active and diverse life juggling many personal, professional,
and proprietary interests and commitments. As with so many people
in our society, he has found that developing heightened proficiencies
in Time Management skills and planning are paramount to maintaining
this delicate balance, be it entrepreneurship, academic ventures,
public speaking, clinical practice, law practice, his musical
pursuits, and organizational ownership among others.
Doug will enlighten your audience and share his honed skills
in using best practices (and secrets) in successful managing
one of everyone’s most precious commodities in this world…their
time!
Change- Being a Chameleon and Not Just an Afterthought
in Your Environment
Successful people don’t rest on their laurels. Adaptability
and flexibility are cornerstones to achieving success in the
long haul. Just as a chameleon can change his skin color to
adapt to their environment, successful people must also use
strategies to adapt to their changing environments. Dr. Doug
Lewis is the epitome of “Change” and being the ultimate
“Change Agent.” Though his career, he has had to
“Reinvent” himself in many ways as well as functioning
as a “Change Agent” for several organizations. Change
does not come easy for people and is even more difficult for
organizations to grasp and handle. How do YOU deal with change?
Dr. Lewis uses his very diverse knowledge base, experiences,
and his unique outlook on the Human Condition to describe and
highlight what works and doesn’t work when having to adapt
to a continuous changing and demanding environment. He will
guide you in understanding how to turn the perceived adverse
consequences, upheavals, and your weaknesses into a recipe for
success!
Life Balance- Is Your “Life In the Balance?”
Life is the ultimate balancing act. Given everything we must
do, life can become very unbalanced and one-sided quickly without
really understanding the essential need for balance. Dr. Doug
Lewis also knows a little about having a busy life. He maintains
an extraordinarily busy life with professional pursuits as an
attorney, clinical healthcare provider, administrator, university
professor/faculty mentor/student advisor, organizational owner
and entrepreneur, consultant, public speaker, and musician among
others. Trying to maintain control over a very chaotic and hectic
schedule can be maddening if not borderline insanity! So how
does one maintain some order over their life without going over
the edge? It is essential to keep a realistic attitude and balance
in life to maintain one’s physical, mental, spiritual,
and emotional well-being. Doug has become very proficient in
maintaining balance between his professional and personal ventures
and will share his thoughts and practices to your audience to
assist them in developing strategies to better achieve that
most essential need for life balance!
Law- Making “Legalese” a Useful and Practical
Language For All
Listening to individual speak an unfamiliar language and one
not understanding the concepts they are conveying can be distressing
if not threatening. But what can you do when that unfamiliar
language involves terminology and concepts from our own legal
system, often referred to as “Legalese?” One of
Dr. Doug Lewis’s greatest interests is helping others
understand and navigate the legal system to maximize their own
benefit. He is a licensed attorney, but particularly enjoys
teaching and instructing others in the academic and professional
world along with assisting individuals and businesses in learning
how to use the legal system to assist and protect their interests.
Doug’s knowledgeable but easy and non-threatening demeanor
allows program attendees to feel more comfortable in learning
about the legal system, its principles, and procedures that
can often intimidate those suddenly thrust into dealing with
the system. Join Doug in enhancing your knowledge when the dreaded
“Legalese” threatens to impair your ability to work
with or understand your way and rights in our legal system!
Leadership: Are Your Indians Ready to be Chiefs?
Are most leaders born that way? Or do they possess “innate”
traits that must first be cultivated and developed? How do organizations
know which of their “Indians” have what it takes
to be a future “Chief?”. Dr. Doug Lewis has spent
many years gaining experience in honing his skills, qualities,
and knowledge rising through business hierarchies to various
leadership positions and levels. These qualities have made him
a recognized leader in a number of professional fields and personal
endeavors. Your audience will marvel how Doug has hurdled many
roadblocks and broadened his horizons with a desire to “Lead”
others. Doug’s modest demeanor tempers his burning desire
to lead through educating others and in leading by example.
This model of success is a winner for attendees to hear and
be motivated to become “Chiefs” in their own right!
Risk and Safety – Managing Your Risk is Risky Business!
Are you familiar with the sayings “No Risk, No Reward”,
Pay to Play”, and “Cost/Benefit”? All of them
infer that risk inherent in every part of our lives. However,
no one wants or can realistically live their lives “in
a bubble” and avoid total risk. The key is to minimize
our risk while not “missing out” on life events.
One must understand their risks and be safe but effective in
managing and effectively dealing with it. The busier our lives
and the more pressures and commitments we juggle, the greater
our risks! Dr. Doug Lewis is an expert at managing his risks
and assisting others in recognizing and managing theirs. His
experience as a Certified Risk Manager working in the business,
healthcare, and industrial arenas has given him considerable
insight on the multiple levels of managing risk both on a personal
and professional level. Doug can help you maximize your benefits
while limiting your “costs” to make your personal
and professional lives “less risky!”
