ASK Campaign Targets Doctor-Patient Communication

San Antonio, TX (PRWEB) October 19, 2006

Using the Socratic method of teaching, Dr. Terrie Wurzbacher developed an ASK Campaign as a forum intended to work toward the betterment of dealing with doctors.

Everyone is invited to tell Dr. Wurzbacher “what is the one thing they would like to know about improving communication with their doctor.”

An “Ask Campaign” provides a website where individuals go and input their question and it’s entered into a massive database. Thousands of questions are desired to achieve the best cross section of questions. She will study the results incorporating them into training for doctors, medical students and patients alike. Communication issues are a two way street and most of the time, problems exist because doctors and patients are walking down opposite sides of that street and never meet.

Dr. Wurzbacher wants to collate as large a collection of questions as possible to be able to address these in blogs, lectures, interviews, articles and a sequel to her upcoming book “Your Doctor Said What? Exposing the Communication Gap”.

The system that she uses will ask for an individual’s name and email address. This information is used only to notify the responder of new articles, newsletters and an early bird opportunity to purchase the book. As a reward for asking a question, a sample chapter is available for download at no cost.

It’s important to note that this is not a place for folks to ask medical questions. None of the questions will be answered directly. The whole purpose is to collect information.

Dr. Wurzbacher wants to start a wave of change and help empower patients to get the most information to their doctor in the short period of time they are allotted as well as receive the most valuable answers while at the doctor’s office.

There is so much opportunity at http://www.askyourdoctorsaidwhat.com ! Physicians, themselves can use this technique to find out what they want from their specific doctor.

“Your Doctor Said What? Exposing the Communication Gap” website is at http://www.yourdoctorsaidwhat.com .

About Dr. Terrie Wurzbacher

Dr. Wurzbacher is a retired Navy physician (Emergency Medicine) and has a passion for improving communication between doctors and patients. It was early in her career that she realized that this was a tough job in an Emergency Department and that she wasn’t very good at hearing what the patients were saying to her.

Since she was involved with training medical students and interns, she decided that she had to lead by example. She embarked on trying to teach people that patients really are just like doctors but wearing different clothes and standing opposite one another. Her book “Your Doctor Said What? Exposing the Communication Gap” is due out in January 2007.

Man Pledges to Helping Two Million People Find Soul Mates

Chicago, Ill. (PRWEB) February 2, 2007

A Chicago author has pledged to help two million singles each find a “soul mate” by March 1, 2009. Frank Polancic, author of Why Wait? Create Your Soul Mate Now! will launch his worldwide love campaign on Valentine’s Day.

Polancic intends to accomplish this through his website, http://www.createyoursoulmatenow.com, book, CD, and telecourse – all of which offer step-by-step guidance on how to attract a soul mate. Polancic has created a “Soul Mate Census” to track his success.

“I know that this is the top priority for millions of people,” stated Polancic, who is tracking his campaign at http://createyoursoulmatenow.com/blog/.

Polancic’s book has already helped countless singles find a soul mate. According to Scott Friedman of Ocean City, N. J., “Katherine is clearly the woman I have been waiting for my whole life, and she feels the same way. Using your book, I went from being totally heart broken to being in the most awesome, fulfilling, meant-to-be relationship ever, with my soul mate, all in less than 90 days! It’s a must read for all single people!”

For singles who have read the book and desire coaching, Polancic offers a five hour telecourse. Steps in the course include creating an “Alive Line” (a positive spin on the term “deadline”) for one’s soul mate to show up, and even redecorating one’s home in a manner that welcomes love and partnership.

Polancic’s guidance is especially relevant today, as millions of singles are searching for love – and spending a lot of money doing so – on the Internet. The Pew Internet & American Life Project reports that 74% of the single Americans who are seeking romantic partners have turned to the Internet to look for love.

Polancic wants to help those who are searching make good choices. “The Soul Mate Resume is designed to bring clarity to the dating process,” says Polancic. “It’s a critical step to making the most of online dating.”

Jenny Severson of Lake Bluff, Ill., a graduate of Polancic’s “Create Your Soul Mate Now!” telecourse, applied what she learned in the course to her online dating strategy. “Once I wrote my Soul Mate Resume, Todd showed up. I recommend to anyone using an internet dating site to do this first before they fill out an online dating profile. Otherwise they are wasting a lot of time and money.” Severson and her soul mate recently got engaged.

If you would like to find your soul mate and be a part of this campaign, visit http://www.createyoursoulmatenow.com to learn about the Soul Mate Census and the Why Wait? Create Your Soul Mate Now! book, CD and telecourse.

This Valentine’s Day Use the iPhone or the iPod Touch to Rate a Date, Fake a Date or Shake a Date with New ‘Shake or Date’ Entertainment Application

Shake or Date entertainment application for iPhone and iPod touch

San Francisco, Calif. (PRWEB) February 3, 2009

Margo Metro Corporation today announced the availability of its flagship product for the iPhone and iPod Touch, ‘Shake or Date.’ Shake or Date is a new interactive polling entertainment application that poses real-life dating scenarios designed to entice people to discuss and share opinions about their dating preferences. Groups can use the game as a social experience, while individuals can play the game for entertainment and to hone their dating preferences.

Play Shake or Date by choosing to date a male or female. The application provides a list of potential dates, such as ‘Charles’ or ‘Lisa.’ In Shake or Date, blue silhouette icons represent males, and red silhouette icons represent females. No pictures are provided, as the objective is to focus on behaviors rather than physical features. After selecting someone to date, the player reads the first date scenario. If the user likes the date, he or she can select ‘date’ to go on a second date and can keep dating through around six different date scenarios. If the player doesn’t like the date at any point, select ‘shake’ or take out some aggression and literally shake the iPhone or iPod Touch to shake off that date and choose another. There are no winners or losers in Shake or Date. The application is meant to be a social experience where players express opinions about what constitutes a good date versus a bad date. Shake or Date lets players indicate why they chose to shake a date, or individual players can share their thoughts on each date within the application as well as read feedback from others.

Shake or Date is a collection of actual dating scenarios from six continents. The application covers common dating topics, such as age, religion, hygiene, work-life balance, education, family, dress-code, manners, and much more. By simulating various dating scenarios, players can safely engage and discuss the qualities they most want or won’t tolerate in a mate.

“As a single woman in San Francisco, I’ve had plenty of good and bad dating stories of my own,” said Margot Siek, founder of Margo Metro. “People feel built up and beaten down by dating, but in the Shake or Date world, you get to take control and make a clear choice to continue dating, or shake that loser off.”

“Shake or Date is a fun game to play with friends at parties,” said Shake or Date user Jenny Lustig. “It makes you think about your dating situations in different ways and how you might advise friends to do things differently.”

The majority of people who have tried Shake or Date say they kept ‘dating’ within the application because they want to see what happens next. Even if it was a bad date, players wanted to know how bad it could get. Shake or Date provides a voyeuristic peek into other people’s dating lives. Because dating is a universal experience, players tend to become passionate about sharing their own stories and opinions which leads to lively discussions.

While Ms. Siek has gathered the first edition of dating stories in Shake or Date from many daters across the world, Shake or Date players will be able to contribute to the next version of the application by submitting their stories to the Margo Metro Web site at http://www.margometro.com or the Shake or Date Web site at http://www.shakeordate.com . The Margo Metro team will sort through the submissions and choose the best ones for the next version of Shake or Date. Now any Shake or Date player can turn a bad date into a good date because a bad date is just another story submission.

Shake or Date is available immediately for download from the Apple App Store. The application costs US $ 4.99, or about half the cost of a Martini, and currently only runs on the iPhone or the iPod Touch.

About Margo Metro:

Margo Metro produces social-experience games and entertainment applications about dating life. The company’s flagship product, Shake or Date, is a mobile entertainment application available for the iPhone or iPod Touch. Headquartered in San Francisco, California, Margo Metro was founded in 2008 by Margot Siek. For more information, visit http://www.margometro.com .

Only Leadership Can Close the ‘Engagement Gap,’ Says Noted Expert

Williamstown, MA (PRWEB) March 12, 2008

The “Engagement Gap” that bedevils many companies around the world can be closed by a simple four-step process, says noted leadership authority Brent Filson.

The “Engagement Gap,” a key indicator of employee motivation, has been detailed in a recent report conducted by Towers Perrin, a global professional services firm. The report found that only 21 percent of employees believe their organizations or their senior management are doing enough to help them become fully engaged and contribute to their companies’ success. Such belief can contribute to a general lack of employee motivation and poor communication.

Furthermore, the study also found that firms with high motivation, the largest percentage of engaged employees collectively increased operating income 19 percent and earnings per share 28 percent year to year. Those companies with the lowest percentage of engaged employees showed year-to-year declines of 33 percent in operating income and 11 percent in earnings per share.

“Recognizing that an Engagement Gap exists in your company is important,” says Filson, founder and president of The Filson Leadership Group, Inc. “But closing that Gap is absolutely vital. and it’s a endeavor of communication. Here’s how:

1) Step One: Identify and validate the gap.

Acknowledge. Get the key decision makers in your organization must acknowledge there is an Engagement Gap and that it must be closed.
Agree. The decision makers must agree on the protocol of the study to obtain the data.
Clarify. The findings must be clear and unmistakable.
Communicate. The findings must be communicated to leaders of all ranks and functions.
Define stakes and promote their communication. The stakes which the findings formulate must be clarified, communicated, and agreed upon. In other words, what would happen to your organization if the Engagement Gap persists? Unless the decision makers agree on the stakes you cannot go forward with the process.

2) Develop A Strategy to close the gap.

Such a strategy must be as important to your company as its business strategy.

A steering committee represented by all ranks and levels of leaders must be formed to develop the strategy.
The strategy must be clear, comprehensive and motivational.
The steering committee must reach consensus on the strategy before it is rolled out.

3) Develop systems and processes to execute the strategy.

Once a strategy for closing the Gap has been agreed upon, execute the strategy through great communication, not through top-down orders but through the bottom-up, grassroots actions.

Small-unit leaders in the company must be enlisted as the key cause leaders for closing the Gap.
They must be supported with comprehensive leadership skills training.
Their efforts must be promoted and celebrated by senior leaders and the successes broadcast through systematic communication.

4) Monitor and evaluate.

Closing the Engagement Gap is not a point but a process. Closing it and making sure it stays closed is a function of putting into place monitoring and evaluating systems.

Those systems must have specific milestones and lead to measurable outcomes.
The measurements must be linked to the activities of the small-unit, cause leaders.
The measurements must be meaningful to those cause leaders to the extent they are ardently motivated to take action that meets their challenges.

“This four-step process can be one of the most important undertakings for any company,” Filson says. “If an Engagement Gap is allowed to persist, it will be an ever-increasing drag on all functions, hampering productivity, reducing your market value, and diminishing your company’s ability to attract and retain good employees.”

The author of 21 books, Brent Filson first learned about leadership as a Marine Corps rifle platoon commander. For the past 25 years, as a civilian, he has helped thousands of leaders in major companies worldwide achieve sizable and continual increases in results. He has published many books and hundreds of articles, has developed motivational strategies and has created and instituted educational and training programs. He has lectured at Columbia University, M.I.T., Wake Forest, Villanova and other universities. He is the founder and president of The Filson Leadership Group, Inc. His latest books, The Leadership Talk: The Greatest Leadership Tool and 101 Ways To Give Great Leadership Talks.

Relationship Author Proves That Soul Mates Exist

(PRWEB) February 4, 2005

“Romancing the Soul”, Dorothy Thompson’s first anthology in the “Romancing the Soul” series, is not only a collection of true soul mate stories from all over the world, but also a “how-to” book on finding your own soul mates. Once you read the stories, you can use this knowledge to better understand the soul mate experience and apply it to your own life.

A recent poll conducted by the Gallup Organization for the National Marriage Project at Rutgers University surveyed 1,003 married and single adults in the twenties and 94% believed that “when you marry, you want your spouse to be your soul mate, first and foremost.” Yet even ardent believers have difficulty conjuring up more than a vague image of just what a soul mate really is. Dorothy Thompson knew there was more to it than that, so with the guidance of her twin soul who passed away three years ago, along with an extraordinary intuition, she set out to prove that soul mates did indeed exist.

The result is a book that embraces the concept yet does so with a liberal application of common sense that avoids the overly romanticized version of it found in many books on the subject today.

“It’s amazing how many people don’t believe they even have a soul mate,” says Ms. Thompson. “In doing research for this book, I also came to realize the number of people who have given up the idea finding theirs. To me, that is disheartening. What they don’t realize is that they have many soul mates and that each one comes into their life for a reason. These stories prove that. I’m on a mission to help others not only discover who their soul mates are, but discover themselves, too.”

“Romancing the Soul” is the result of a three-year search for stories from all over the world that exemplifies the true soul mate experience and answers questions such as these:

• What types of soul mates are there?

• Is it possible to have known your soul mate in another life?

• Can a pet be a soul mate?

• When I find my soul mate, how will I know he/she is “the one”?

• Is it possible to be married to your soul mate and find your twin soul in another?

• Why are soul mates “borne” and not “made” as some psychologists claim?

“Romancing the Soul” offers consolation and comfort to those who have given up on finding someone special to share their lives with. With so many people in the world suffering from loneliness, millions of people everywhere are sure to be inspired by this delightful, uplifting book.

Women Dating After 40 Learn How To Date Again Successfully

Dipping Your Toe in the Dating Pool

San Francisco (Vocus) February 25, 2009

Midlife dating women want to be as successful as possible in their dating journey. They may have been considering dating for a while, or have begun by having a few coffee dates with several men. The new book by The Dating Goddess, Dipping Your Toe in the Dating Pool: Dive In Without Belly Flopping focuses on getting started on your dating adventures. It covers what every over-40 woman needs to know as she begins to date again after years (decades?) of absence.

The Dating Goddess says, “Dating in midlife is not the same as dating in your twenties or thirties. There are some similarities, but other elements are decidedly different. In some ways you are stronger and clearer on what you want. In other ways, you have some emotional wounds that may weep at inopportune times. If you are beginning to date, you need to understand what’s in store for you and how to do it with the most success.”

In Dipping Your Toe in the Dating Pool: Dive In Without Belly Flopping the Dating Goddess covers issues like, “Dating with integrity,” “Building your rejection muscle “Do you have the right datewear?,” “When “be yourself” is questionable advice,” “Faux beaus and practice dating,” “Are you making bad decisions out of loneliness?,” “When do you feel most vulnerable in dating?,” and “Why listening is so seductive.”

The Dating Goddess has amassed her knowledge after going out with 91 men in 3.5 years after her 20-year marriage dissolved five years ago, the Dating Goddess has thoroughly researched her topic and chronicled her lessons, advice and stories in her Adventures in Delicious Dating After 40 book series.

The Dating Goddess started writing her insights after her friends told her she was having a much more positive experience dating than other midlife singles. “Dating is an adventure if you look at it that way. All adventures have exhilarating experiences, as well as setbacks and disappointments. But the fun part outweighs the negatives if you focus on those.”

About DatingGoddess.com

We are dedicated to providing uncommon information, insights and advice for midlife women reentering the dating world. The Adventures in Delicious Dating After 40 book series consists of 13 books on critical issues faced by midlife daters.
