The Business of Healthcare Podcast with Tara Humphrey

#171 Understanding the context you work within So in this podcast, I just wanted to really briefly give my take on why it's so important we really understand and study the context that we work within. We are all the centre of our own universe and we all want people to do what we want them to do and sometimes we forget that we are working in a complex adaptive system.

#167 Finding the factors that support your success In this solo episode, I am going to be talking about finding the factors that support your success. So for those of you that are new to listening or regular listeners, I would class myself as a very practical and very logical person and the advice that people share on the podcast is also very practical and very logical. A few guests talk about mindset, but it's not a broad theme that we revisit. However, it is really, really, important. Sometimes we can all read the same book and execute the same tactics, but if we don't have the mindset and the mindset habits that lay the foundation for what we do, we will never be as successful as we potentially could be. Topics to listen out for; Mindset Execute Tactics Writing it down What leads you to your goals Ultra marathons Mentions in the podcast Episode 146 The Bee Tree Community Please Sponsor Me Work with me I'm Tara Humphrey and I'm the founder of THC Primary Care, a leading healthcare consultancy.

#165 How to enhance your recruitment & retention In this solo episode, I am going to be talking with you and sharing with you, my experiences and lessons learned in recruiting and retention. I wanted to have a discussion around recruitment, and I believe that whether you find it easy to recruit, or you are finding recruitment challenging at the moment, there will be some insights and practical advice that you can take away. In my own company THC Primary Care over the past six years, it hasn't been too difficult to recruit, but it's not been easy. We've advertised a couple of positions recently, and I'm really pleased to say we filled them, but I did my research around the recruitment market. I'm also reached out to a few people and they were so helpful and gave me great advice and I reflected on what has worked in the past.

163 Why Consistency Is The Key To Your Success In this weeks episode I wanted to talk to you about the importance and the benefits of being consistent, and to raise the question with you around what areas of your business, work or services you could look at to create some more consistent habits and systems for people to follow? I think consistency is really important because it builds trust. People know what to expect, whether that is around the deliverable of a service or your behaviour and how you show up. What happens when people are inconsistent is if you are their manager or in a management position, you then have to go back and check it. You know it wastes time and if you're not brave enough to raise that inconsistency with the person we end up compounding the problem.
