RELATIONSHIP

RELATIONSHIP is our most important asset. RELATIONSHIP goes beyond what people do for us: Henry Ford said “Why is it that I always get the whole person when what I really want is a pair of hands?”

You can’t buy and sell RELATIONSHIPS easily (and if you try you are likely to lose the RELATIONSHIP).

But you can INVEST in RELATIONSHIPS, you can grow and mature RELATIONSHIPS, and you can leverage RELATIONSHIPS to help you achieve your goals. One of the best ways to INVEST in RELATIONSHIPS is help others achieve their goals.  Gary Vaynerchuk (writing on social media marketing) stated “Give. Give. Give. Ask.”

On the global scale we now have so many valuable RELATIONSHIPS – American Academy of Neurology, American College of Physicians, Canadian Medical Association, Choosing Wisely Canada, Cochrane, Duodecim, GRADE Working Group, Guidelines International Network, Health Level Seven, McMaster University (Health Information Research Unit), MedCalc 3000, NHS Scotland, Truven Health Analytics Inc.

We are a FAMILY because we CARE. I hope to remain CENTERED on our RELATIONSHIPS to achieve MAXIMAL COLLABORATION.
