Trey Theisler on LinkedIn: Today, I received an unexpected and delightful surprise in the mail, a… (2024)

“We will create a system of health that exists at the intersection of social responsibility, science, and compassion- a system that will nurture both patient and provider, creating and maintaining good health for all, throughout all stages of life. Our system will set the bar for the transformation of U.S. healthcare into a fellowship that elevates the joy of healthy living for all of us.”As part of an assignment in my recent leadership class, we were asked to write our ideal vision statement; one that encompasses our values and goals and one that we would be inspired to work towards. This was my vision statement.After the class I got to thinking a lot about who I am as a physician, what my goals were when I started my career, and where things stand now. As I shared my vision statement with the class (who, by the way are all physicians as well), I heard a few small claps and looked up to see quite a few nodding heads and smiles. It was a significant moment for me. It was acknowledgement that our current system has lost its way and that many of us, who “signed up” to make the world a better place as doctors, are frustrated by the current direction that journey has taken. But it was also acknowledgement that there are a lot of other doctors out there who desperately want to see our system change for the better, and they are game to play a role in making that change happen.So take a minute today and ask yourself: What is your Vision statement?#change #healthcare #betterworld

The step is lighter, the pace quicker, the posture just a wee bit taller, and yes the smile doesn't seem to leave my face. Leapt to the next chapter: semi-retired professional status. Many of you know I have struggled with this concept. Largely because of the crew at Collaborative Health - some of the most devoted people to the mission of health care transformation.First, all the very best to the crew at Collaborative Health Systems, they are some of the very best people I have come across in all of my personal and professional travels. Many of them will be the next rock stars of the industry. I will always be available to help untangle some knotted complexity.Second, being able to focus on the projects I want vs. need or direction of others; what a difference. There have been many start ups, ideas, and insights that I have had to pass on as they didn't fit into available bandwidth, evolutionary status or context with CHS. I look forward accelerating these efforts to their best position in the system. Stay tuned, there will be more.

WHAT VALUE DO YOU BRING?Once I was asked this question and maybe it’s just me that would feel like this because It struck a chord, sending me on a whirlwind of emotions, pondering the years and contributions made.But in a characteristic move, typical of YHWH whom I belong to, the one who wastes nothing. In that moment I decided to be better at whatever I do and sculpt my mark in a way that renders that question unnecessary.I took that stone hurled at me and fashioned it into a foundational cornerstone. It became a catalyst for my growth.You see, I love the work I do and this industry because every endeavour undertaken contributes to the ultimate goal: ensuring widespread access to quality healthcare and preventing diseases.While still navigating the paths within this field, one thing I've realized: finding someone as self-taught, intentional, and dedicated to their craft as I am can be a rarity. If you're seeking a team member who embodies these traits, reach out. I might just be the asset your team needs.#DedicatedProfessional #QualityHealthcareAdvocate #PublicHealth #21daychallengewithCoachMaverick

"The only way to do great work is to love what you do." - Steve JobsPassion in healthcare is a game-changer. It's that magical ingredient that fuels our dedication and empowers us to make a real impact on people's lives.In my journey through the healthcare industry, I've witnessed firsthand how passion transforms our work. It's like a superpower that pushes us to go the extra mile and connect with individuals and communities on a deeper level.When we genuinely care about their well-being, it's not just about the medical stuff. It's about understanding their unique needs, challenges, and dreams. That genuine love and compassion create a whole new level of connection and support.Passion in healthcare fuels innovation sparks collaboration, and drives us to find creative solutions. It keeps us hungry to learn, grow, and deliver top-notch care and services.So, fellow healthcare enthusiasts, let's remember that we're on a mission. We're here to make a positive impact on our communities. Let's keep that fire burning, pour our hearts into our work, and rock the world of healthcare and community health together!#PassionInHealthcare #MakingADifference #LoveWhatYouDo

Have you had weeks or even months where you feel like you are not making any progress on your goals and dreams?😬I love the weekly ritual from Stefanie Sword-Williams FRSA (she/her) where she invites us to pair up with friends, colleagues and our community to share our 3 wins from the week - big and small!🤩It’s just a fact that focusing on our wins and progress is an amazing way to boost our confidence, motivation and gain true perspective of our achievements. When you have big goals, it’s easy to lose touch with how far you have come and to feel overwhelmed by how much there is still to do.Sharing our wins with others blends into another principle I use a lot in my healthcare change leadership work called Pearson’s Law👇✨ When performance is measured, it improves. When performance is measured and REPORTED, it improves exponentially.✨In the “Wins of the week” practice we are not just reporting a result. We are acknowledging and sharing our progress and reminding ourselves of the meaningful wins in our lives and not just our work.Don’t underestimate the impact of building this kind of positive support structure and weekly rituals to energise you and keep you on track with your goals and dreams🙌So in the spirit of sharing wins, here are mine from last week💪1. A next version of an AMS research paper now ready for a discussion with an expert collaborator 2. Added a turmeric plant to my amazing vegetable garden and it turns out it has a beautiful flower🪻3. Finalised the date for an in-person workshop on personal branding for health professionals with an organisation in Cape Town which I am doing with my daughter Anthea van den Bergh later this month🌞What are your wins from this week so far? Remember they don’t have to be ground-breaking - just meaningful to you!📩#healthcarechangeleader #wins #successmindset

Healthcare professional feeling unappreciated?The healthcare system might make you feel like you’re not valued?But don’t forget about the value and worth you carry within youThings might be terrible at work, or you might be in a role that makes you feel unfulfilledBut never forget about the value you carry within youComing from this perspective can be a powerful way to start making changes in the right direction for youAnd it’s also equally powerful to come from a neutral perspective! 🤍Things can change on the external world, for better or worseBut remaining neutral allows you to maintain a sense of inner worth that’s balanced, and not solely relied upon external achievements or external disappointments 💖This is only temporary for you! Great things awaits for you! 🤍

Happy Saturday with some morning manifestation over coffee ☕️ My journey in healthcare transformation is deeply rooted in a personal journey - watching my mother battle health issues throughout my childhood. Her experiences ignited a passion within me to drive meaningful change in the healthcare industry, to ensure that individuals like her receive the support, care, and empowerment they deserve. What do I WANT? Driven by this passion, I've become committed to dedicating myself to become a part of revolutionizing healthcare on a broader scale. I envision a future where every person has access and resources alongside personalized insights to proactively manage their personal and individual health care. A little vulnerabilty for you… My dream is to create something monumental, something that transcends mere innovation to become a cornerstone of the healthcare community. I aspire to found a platform or solution that not only improves individual patient experiences but also catalyzes systemic change within the healthcare industry. I WANT a future where no one feels alone in their healthcare journey, where every interaction is empowering, and where the healthcare industry as a whole begins to and continues to drive positive, lasting change. I WILL win in this. I AM passionate. Manifesting out loud is such a powerful tool for bringing your goals and desires into reality. Speaking my intentions aloud helps me reinforce them in my mind, increases my focus and motivation, and signals my universe or subconscious mind towards what I truly want to achieve. 💫💫
