Education & SeminarsWinging It & Wishing? If you’re my ‘friend’ on Facebook, you might have seen my post about the homeless lady named Teressa who is often outside my office… I mentioned about how I was wondering whether she has the ability to make a change in her circumstances, and if she does have the mental and physical capabilities, then... MOCC Proposal: Dis-Organized ChaosI’ve been criticizing the Maintenance of Core Competency (MOCC) proposal from the Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards since the moment it landed on my radar, and I haven’t changed my mind. I think it’s a terrible plan that doesn’t serve any good purpose other than increasing the coffers of the FSMTB. In its... Bridging the Gap; Referring Other CAM Disciplines
If you know of something that may help a client, are you inclined to share that information? (I HOPE the answer to this question was YES.) Because the truth is, as a healthcare professional, your client looks to you for advice and direction to not only alleviate symptoms but to provide long term solutions... New Years Resolutions in mid March. Better late then never?It’s taken me three months to write this blog about my New Years resolution. That might give you an idea of how much I have on my plate this year. Heck, why have you guess what I’m up to… here’s a quick list: Spring: 1. Navigate the Valentines Day Couples Massage rush for MASSAGE... MOCC-ERYLast week, the Federation of State Massage Therapy Boards presented their long-awaited proposal for a new national continuing education approval program. They are calling it Maintenance of Core Competencies – or MOCC for short. As I indicated in my previous post, this proposal not only failed to deliver on the original promises made by... When Changes Happen Remember NOT to Panic!
Seems like lots of reaction in February and more to come in March! Some reacting is good! WE all react at times sometimes reaction causes change like the recent Legislative changes in TN, IA and FL. When change occurs I have found over the years my quick “pop-offs” haven’t always produced the best results... Remember to tell them, I Will Always Love You
Please allow me to wax a bit poetic. On the eve of Valentine’s Day and also in the wake of a very visible entertainer, Whitney Houston’s untimely death, I am really reflecting on how important it is to live in the present moment and to tell all those we love, how much we love... The State of the State
Licensing and regulation in the field of massage therapy is changing on a daily basis. Just read Laura Allen’s most recent post on proposed legislation for an example of how Florida and Tennessee are trying to change things. Most of these changes are for the better in an effort to protect the public and ensure there are standards of education... Selling Yourself Short
What is wrong with the following statement? FIRE!!!! Ready…aim. It seems silly, counter intuitive and even dangerous to get such important steps this badly out of order. You would not do it with a rifle, why would you do it with your business? Sometimes we are faced with making decisions quickly in business, sometimes... Resolve to Make a Difference! The last half of the 2011 just flew by. It’s a little hard to believe 2012 is already here. However, here we are, the first day of 2012 and lots of us are making resolutions on what to correct this year. I’m not. Not that I don’t need to make some changes, or make... |
