What are some key skills for Healthcare Leaders & Executives?

Last week on the podcast, I discussed my nonclinical career path and how I went from staff clinician to a healthcare business consultant and practice owner. After that episode, I received a few emails asking for specific skills or areas of personal development that help in advancing from a clinical role into healthcare administration or leadership. I figured it was worth exploring, and actually writing down what I considered to be key skills for healthcare leaders & executives.

So, this week, I dive into the 5 key skills, or characteristics, that I consider key factors in transitioning from clinical work to healthcare leadership and/or executive roles.

What we cover in this Episode:

The importance of intentionally planning your professional growth and development
Communication as a key skill for healthcare leaders and executives
Starting a healthcare business with no funding
Using Data to make decisions or create communication pieces
Key principles in managing and leading a healthcare business
The importance of crucial conversations
Beginning to take a high-level, value-creation based vision of your work and roles
Achieving Better Outcomes by stepping out of the clinic to affect systemic healthcare improvements

We post videos of certain podcast episodes, including this episode, which can find on the YouTube Channel.

Are you a clinician considering a nonclinical career path?

I get asked regularly about how I got started on my nonclinical career path. Whether I'm speaking at a conference or event, or working with clients on business development strategy projects, it seems people are interested in learning about how an occupational therapist went from treating patients in the clinic to working as a healthcare positioning strategist.

So, this week, we're continuing our series on nonclinical career paths with this solo episode where I break down every role I've held since graduating in 2012. I walk through each job, what I took from each one, how I made the step into the next role, and things that I thought were key factors in skilling up for these nonclinical roles.

What we cover in this Episode:

-The importance of taking every learning opportunity available to you early in your career
-Looking at every position as an opportunity to grow your network and skills
-Starting a healthcare business with no funding
-Purchasing a healthcare business
-Key principles in managing and leading a healthcare business
-How I used LinkedIn to get my first nonclinical consulting role
-Understanding business models and incentives and how that relates to obtaining nonclinical roles
-Achieving Better Outcomes by stepping out of the clinic to affect systemic healthcare improvements

How do you start in healthcare copywriting?

Maybe you've heard of copywriting. Maybe you haven't. I tell people that I work with that copywriting is probably one of the most valuable skills that entrepreneurs and business owners can have. You don't necessarily need to be the best copywriter, but you should understand what makes for good healthcare copywriting. That skill opens up the doors to many opportunities, for business owners or clinicians looking to make a nonclinical transition. And, as I've discussed on the Strata Stories podcast, content creation and copywriting allows clinicians to monetize their expertise in more ways than simply direct clinical care.

So, this week, we're continuing our nonclinical careers series with a conversation with Krista Frahm about her transition from clinician to healthcare copywriter and now marketing strategist.

What we cover in this Episode:

-The value clinicians can bring to nonclinical roles
-How to delivery high impact services as a copywriter or marketing strategist
-Starting a healthcare copywriting business
-Networking to build your business
-Coaching and consulting clients to deliver upstream services
-Achieving Better Outcomes by leaving the clinic to help other businesses succeed with copywriting
