    JERRY'S SHORT: 4 Stakes in the Ground for Healthcare Managers to Quell Quiet Quitting

    JERRY'S SHORT: 4 Stakes in the Ground for Healthcare Managers to Quell Quiet Quitting

    Discover the four essential strategies healthcare managers need to implement in order to effectively quell quiet quitting and boost employee engagement in their organizations.
    In this episode, you will be able to:
    Create a sense of ownership that boosts employee engagementSet goals and provide feedback with employees showing them career growthBuild and maintain trust so that your team become advocates for the organization
    The Problem with Quiet Quitting


    Quiet quitting is when employees disengage from their work and organization without making their dissatisfaction known. These individuals may continue to show up and complete their tasks, but they need more enthusiasm, motivation, and commitment. 

    Quiet quitters often fly under the radar, making it challenging for managers to identify and address their concerns before they decide to leave.


    This impacts important areas of healthcare such as safety, patient experience, and voluntary turnover of not only the disengaged employees but other employees on the team as well. It may even put significant risk on global healthcare according to the National Institute for Health.


    The episode offers practical advice on building trust, setting goals, providing feedback, and reinforcing positive behavior within the team dynamics. By implementing the strategies discussed in this episode, healthcare managers can boost morale, foster a sense of care and connection, and provide growth opportunities for their employees, ultimately reducing turnover and improving overall team performance.

    Your Hero's Quest to Rediscover Your Life's Purpose

    Your Hero's Quest to Rediscover Your Life's Purpose

    Alain Dumonceaux, a former culinary Olympian turned life coach, embarked on a soul-stirring journey to rediscover his life's mission, battling pride through vulnerability, and ultimately transforming his story of loss into a compelling path of personal growth and fulfillment.
    Listen to this episode on how to rediscover your life's purpose and succeed on your hero's quest for a life well-lived.

    Rediscover Your Life's Purpose
    Does this resonate with you? Have you been tirelessly searching for personal growth and purpose in life, only to be told that the key lies in simply finding yourself?
    But here's the painful truth: You've been left feeling lost and unfulfilled, with no clear direction or mission. It's time to break free from this ineffective approach and embrace a new path. Rediscover your life mission and embark on a hero's quest that will finally bring you the fulfillment and meaning you've been longing for.
    I say it again and again on this show and in my book that life is too short to live stuck in a rut. You can create a fulfilling life that includes a higher calling, a healthy family dynamic, and prosperous and meaningful career or business. When you align all of these together, you're living out a mission driven by a compelling vision.
    In this episode, you will be able to:


    Absorb insights about personal growth and self-reflection's pivotal role in fostering healthier relationships and a more fulfilling life.Learn to perceive pride and vulnerability not as inhibitors, but as catalysts for recovery and personal growth.Get acquainted with strategies to rediscover and pursue your latent life mission, embarking on an exhilarating hero's quest.Understand the significance of crafting your personal mission statement and channeling it into purposeful action.Discover the transformative power of The Awakened Man's personal development programs that can lead you to a life-altering course.My special guest is Alain Dumonceaux
    Articulating a new story of a purposeful life is Alain Dumonceaux, a man on a mission to transform lives. A former Culinary Olympian with two silver medals under his belt, his professional success didn't translate to personal fulfillment leading him to a devastating crossroad. 
    Following a tug-of-war between personal catastrophes and self-discovery, Alain resolved to build a life that integrates all aspects rather than hyper-focusing and compartmentalizing. He now embarks on a purpose to help men navigate their journey, restore their relationships, and cultivate a culture of growth and redemption.
