Does the Corona Virus Cause You to Consider :"Changing the WAY You Work?"
Sunday Apr 05, 2020
Sunday Apr 05, 2020
With vast numbers either working from home or losing their job, many are asking the question, "Should I Change The Way I Work?"
Caregivers have struggled with this issue for years as we've tried to juggle a job while caregiving. For nearly ten years, David Asarnow and Bob Sears have helped mentor me as I built a national broadcasting platform and message to my fellow caregivers ...all while I still serve as a caregiver. They helped me understand that I needed to change the WAY I worked.
- We caregivers work hard ...but are we utilizing all of our skills?
- Do we even know what they are?
- Are we treading water ...or gaining ground?
- Can we negotiate a better arrangement with our employers so that we can work from home while managing our caregiving responsibilities?
- Do we know who to turn our experience as caregivers into career success?
- Is this turbulent time in our country the right time for us to launch a side business that can provide additional revenue and possibly a path to our controlling our employment destiny?
These and more questions will be addressed in the new FREE webinar that David and Bob will host. Take advantage of this TODAY by signing up at www.changethewayIwork.com
You might be astonished at what YOU have to offer. It's a free webinar that connects you with two incredibly strategic people who bring insights and ideas to the employment pinch you feel.
Part of our growth as caregivers is to be good stewards. That includes being good stewards of our employment and work strategies.
The new FREE webinar from David and Bob is a great step to practice that stewardship. They truly get the challenges facing caregivers, and like they have for me for nearly a decade, they stand ready to offer their best ...to help you achieve your best.

Medicare for All Y'all?!
Thursday Nov 07, 2019
Thursday Nov 07, 2019
A lot of candidates running for President advocate "Medicare for All" as part of their platform. While Medicare itself is a decent program, I spend a little time discussing the realities of dealing with Medicare ...from a customer service standpoint.
Gracie and I both had to call Medicare for a significant issue. Getting bounced around from department to department, we logged over four hours on the phone one day, and another 90 minutes the next.
It's still not resolved as of this posting (with another 4 hours logged).
Imagine your best day at the DMV. That's what happens when government is the only game in town. You simply have no competition ...no incentive...to provide better service.
At some point in the customer service path, someone has to say, "We can build a better mousetrap!"
When listening to the candidates speaking, it sounds like overhearing a meeting in the teacher's lounge, "Here's what I think we ought to do ..."
It would be helpful for these candidates to share their own personal (and credible) experience in dealing with the healthcare system. Experience is always better than opinion.
Also on this episode, we played a new song from Gracie's upcoming CD titled Resilient. I also shared a few "Gracie-isms" and how Gracie nearly broke Amazon's Alexa ...at the source!!
In addition we shared our "Caregiver Tip of the Day," and of course, we also had my sidekick, The Count of Mighty Disco - John Butler!!!
A jammed pack show, demonstrating why Hope for the Caregiver is the #1 broadcast show for family caregivers!
