Wisdom-Share Interview Series with Sondra Abanto, MBA

https://mailchi.mp/461201343930/wisdomsharesondra

updated February 2020

This interview series is coming to you from the corner of Courage and Commitment.  After 5 years of military PCS moves, our (Sondra and Megan's) worlds are overlapping again.  So, let's take advantage of it!

This is a relaxed interview series where Megan interviews Sondra about the basics of what to expect when you are an employee in a medium to large organization, with emphasis on health care organizations and asides about working as an integrative health care clinician within the system.  We talk about what to expect in an ideal situation from parameters to resources.

This is a series of interviews we (Megan and Sondra) recorded in winter and spring 2019 where Sondra covers the following topics related to performance management:

1. employee orientation process basics (onboarding) (video published 2.5.2020)
2. performance plans (video published 2.12.2020)
3. cultivating mentor relationships and career path mapping (video published 2.20.2020)
4. team communication

This series is intended for the acupuncturist or related integrative health care professional working (or interested in working) in hospital-based practice in the U.S., whether the civilian sector or the federal sector of employment.  However, we go over basics that apply to any health care professional employee in the system. This is also a good introduction to this type of work to a professional healthcare student.

Sondra Abanto, MBA, program analyst, has significant experience in both civilian and federal sectors on program and performance management (metrics) who has also trained as an MSA (acupuncture) student.

As of summer 2019, the sessions have finished recording and will be going to the video editor. If you are interested in this interview series, sign up on the landing page email list and you'll be notified when the recordings and related materials are published. Go here to sign up.
