Best Story
A meeting with the president of a hospital who congratulated me on the great results I was getting with their leaders...and the last question he asked was..."Kiki, how are you going to keep this all alive when you leave us?"
I was shocked! I looked him straight in the eyes and said "YOU ARE!" and then it was his turn to be shocked!
I got a renewal to that contract...that day!
Origin Story
I had a desire to start my own business for many years while I was managing an outpatient department at a hospital back in the 90's; but was hesitant. I then got pregnant and was excited to ask my boss to go part time...it was the perfect solution! His response was a simple "no". I couldn't believe it but he explained that since the company was primarily female they were not in a position to set that precedent to allow work from home or part time options (what a different world now). I had to give my resignation because I did not have full time child care available. I proceeded to prepare for my departure and hired my replacement and made sure everything was perfect before I left.
The day I was scheduled to leave for good...I was called in by the leader of that organization and she told me I had to meet with her because I had unfinished business. My initial response was "Oh no, I do not" but of course did not say that and agreed to a meeting that next Monday.
It was at that Monday meeting that the leader told me she wanted me to help her leaders "run their businesses like I ran mine". That was the beginning of my business! One week I was a contracted employee and the following week I was a consultant! I will always hold a special place in my heart for that woman because she was the reason my business finally got off the ground. She saw my gift of being able to help healthcare run well.
