As we near Excelas' 20th anniversary, we reflect on our President and Founder's, Jean Bourgeois, MBA, RHIA, advice for women entrepreneurs: - You can do this! - Stand your ground. - Don’t listen to the inner voice (or other voice) that says you aren’t good enough, smart enough, talented enough, prepared enough, financially stable enough, - Give yourself the grace that you deserve when you miss/mess up/struggle/doubt/ fail/give up – and then start again! - Find a peer group/mentor/coach to provide the support/guidance/information/feedback you need to be successful or at least to help you be the best you can be. - Regardless of the company or industry you’re in, leadership challenges tend to be similar. It may be lonely at the top, but you are not alone – help is all around you! https://lnkd.in/eScdMDVK Cathy Napoli Grace Jindra Sharon Ezzone, MBA Melinda Mallari Carey Marousek

Reptile Theory is arguably the most game-changing trend in litigation in recent history. Originally developed by Don Keenan, Esq. and jury consultant Dr. David Ball, the trial method was created in response to tort reform. The strategy was designed specifically to achieve plaintiff verdicts and high damages, even in jurisdictions where damage caps exist. It has been so successful for the plaintiff bar in personal injury and medical malpractice cases that it has now made its way into other areas of law, including product liability and transportation.?Because of the theory’s prevalence in medical malpractice, it’s important for healthcare providers to understand the strategy and know how it typically unfolds during litigation.
