Back-to-School: The Ideal Time to Educate About Your Services and Expertise
It’s the most hectic time of year for many, so make use of ASHA’s ready-made resources!
Summer is winding down, and for many ASHA professionals, that means it’s back to school. If you’re among those entering this hectic period, educating parents, other professionals, and administrators about your role and value of your services might not rank high on your priority list.
But doing so can contribute to greater appreciation from colleagues and students alike—as well as their parents or caregivers—and help fulfill your sense of job satisfaction.
Try these simple approaches to spreading the word—and take advan...

How to Slow Down Time and Effectively Use Emotional Intelligence
ASHA Connect 2019 draws to a close tomorrow, but many of the record-breaking number of attendees will go home knowing how to trigger their brain’s amygdales to slow the passage of time during intensely good moments.

ASHA, Other CSD Organizations, Collaborate to Raise Communication Disability at the UN
Miles Forma really doesn’t like when people think he is stupid because he’s unable to talk.
“I’ve had many experiences in my life where people assumed because I am a non-speaking person and sit in a wheelchair, I’m not intelligent,” Forma said recently using augmentative and alternative communication (AAC).
The young man wasn’t saying this to just anybody. His audience included people with the power to change things—attendees at a major conference on disability at United Nations (UN) headquarters in New York a few weeks ago.

A true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer. For
a startup to kick-start, a defined mission of proper investment is as important
as the idea of the new venture. With the increasing technology and fresh ideas,
the numbers of startups are increasing every year. USA’s startups remain to be highly concentrated in a small number of hubs.

Harnessing innovative neurotechnologies to provide better urgent care at Banner Health
_______________
For Banner Health, one of the largest non-profit health system in the United States, finding ways to make health care easier and better for our patients is at the root of everything we do.

Let me give you an example.
Last year, Banner Urgent Care turned to an innovative device, BrainScope One, to provide better care and to help save patients money and time, as it helps clinicians identify traumatic brain injuries and concussions.

Yes to PhD, No to Life Upheaval: The Final Chapter
I’ve learned I tend to bury the “lede” when I write, so I will lead with this: I’m done. I make my kids call me Dr. Mom and I return to sender all cards not addressed to Dr. Stauder. I’m so happy.
I shared the process of figuring out how I could get my PhD without blowing up my life, then again on how I balanced being in school with that life, and now I can reflect on lessons learned.
During the five years I was on the PhD train, I learned many things. I hope sharing them might help you.
The first thing I learned was the title of this three-part series is actually ridiculous. While I was fortunate to fin...

Why We Went To Capitol Hill, and Why We ’ll Go Back
As members of the Coordinating Committee for ASHA Special Interest Group 7, Aural Rehabilitation and Its Instrumentation, we—Deb Culbertson, Beth Humphrey, Jani Johnson, Nicole Marrone, and Jessica Sullivan—recently spent a day on Capitol Hill. As a group, we visited our various representatives to advocate for the professions—with guidance from ASHA’s legislative team—the day before our annual business meeting at the National Office.
After our visit, we debriefed about the experiences so other audiologists and speech-language pathologists considering advocating for our professions on the Hill might gain some insi...

The Importance of Soft Skills for Professional Success
Sure, you can remediate /r/ or help move a patient off a modified diet with the best of them—but how do your clients, coworkers, supervisors, and supervisees view you? Do they trust you and seek your advice? Do they enjoy being around you? Do they see you as someone who can roll with the punches?
The point is, how are your soft skills—those interpersonal attributes that enhance your interactions, job performance, and career prospects?
Soft skills—typically a combination of interpersonal skills, emotional intelligence, and personal attributes—include work ethic, professionalism, courtesy, initiative, and communicati...

Coaching and Leadership Training Can Help Med Students Avoid Burnout
Jack Penner

Margaret Cary
By MARGARET CARY, JACK PENNER, and JP MIKHAIE
Burnout is one of the biggest problems physicians face today. We believe that addressing it early — in medical school — through coaching gives physicians the tools they need to maintain balance and meaning in their personal and professional lives.
We say that after reading comments from participants in our coaching program, “A Whole New Doctor,” developed at Georgetown University School of Medicine. This program, born almost by chance, provides executive coaching and leadership training to medical students, who are exa...
