How the Leadership Superpower of Curiosity Wins
Tammy Tiller-Hewitt, FACHE CEO, Tiller-Hewitt HealthCare Strategies

 My Ego is Not My Amigo
Jessica Myers, COTA/L Physician Liaison, Shriners Children’s Hospital 

The line between confidence and ego can be subtle-but critical. This session will help physician liaisons reflect on how they show up in their roles, identify behaviors that may be perceived as ego-driven, and strengthen the kind of authentic confidence that builds trust. Jessica will incorporate a breakout to enhance a liaison’s ability to collaborate with peers, enhance and elevate their business plan, and refine their communication style- while navigating internal and external barriers. 

12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Networking Lunch
Location: Atrium (located on the lower level) 

1:00 pm - 1:30 pm

Hybrid Horizons: The Evolving Role of Virtual Engagement in Physician Relations
Kathy Mangel
Physician Liaison, Shriners Children’s Hospital 

Virtual Outreach Session: As physician availability in clinic becomes more limited- virtual engagement has started to trend in busy practices and systems looking to maximize their providers productivity. Now more than ever, creating success within virtual outreach, virtual meetings, CME/Virtual Grand Rounds, and virtual presentations is a necessary skill to maximize your outreach and impact. This session will provide best practice tips, tricks, and strategies for planning virtual meetings, along with ways to gain optimal engagement and attendance in the virtual landscape.

In this hour, the panel will provide honest feedback on what leaders really value, what works, and how to show your worth both internally and externally. During this session, an open Q&A will be provided for liaisons to ask questions and engage in candid conversations with leaders and liaisons on what truly drives engagement and results.
