After Hours

So I have been quite the busy bee these last few months and December is an even crazier month for me. Not only has work been insanely busy but I also have been doing more community networking/marketing. I have become quite the Cincinnati socialite...ha ha, I wish! 

I guest lectured at Xavier to a Junior class and absolutely loved it. It was so strange being on the other end of things but I was that guest speaker who almost didn't finish my presentation because I talked so much...The class I lectured in was the Director of the Health Administration program's class, so it was an honor to be invited to speak. Teaching is definitely in my future! Several students reached out to me after speaking and wanted to meet with me so I have a few meetings scheduled for this week and possibly may take on an intern for the summer! 

I also have been working on a partnership with Mount Notre Dame, which is a private high school in Cincinnati. I presented to their community service leadership board this week and convinced them to partner with my company to implement OMA (more about this in a later post). I realized truly have a passion to educating others on the long-term care industry and getting them involved. It's funny, I used to be so nervous to present and hated networking. Now, this is something that is second nature to me. I didn't even prepare to present to MND and they invited me back to speak to a larger crowd in January. 

Here are a few pictures from the various events last month!
Me, My Boss & our Marketing Director at our annual Thanksgiving Luncheon.
The Health Care Collaborative Innovation Award Ceremony. 
My company was nominated for our cardiac telehealth program with Christ Hospital.
And clearly I didn't get the hide your drink memo...
This venue was absolutely stunning! Definitely on my wedding list...
Some of the work girls at happy hour!
We ran into one of our residents who was out on a date & he bought a round of our drinks...awkward.
Jill's leaving us to retire in Charleston! 
March of Dimes Signature Chef event.
I think these professional photographers get satisfaction out of getting the most awkward photos ever.
 Hospice Happy Hour!

So maybe I really only like going to these events because of the free food and drinks....just kidding! Although that is a major plus, I have met so many people from going to these events.
I always say, it's not only important to market your company, but also yourself!
