Press Release

Umbdenstock, Tye, Eichelberger, and Rabiner to Speak at ASHES Conference


Chicago, July 27, 2010 - The American Society for Healthcare Environmental Services (ASHES) of the American Hospital Association today announced its lineup for keynote speaker and general sessions at its Annual Conference on September 26-30 in Washington, DC. 

The impressive lineup includes:

  • Get Switched On!
    Chip Eichelberger, Speaker
    Learn the formula for getting switched on and being at your best consistently. What can you be doing now to own your energy and attitude? How can you be the dispenser of enthusiasm for your team? You as the leader set the tone for your pharmacy. Reignite your compelling vision and declare that your next year will be a great one regardless of any external events. How can you close the gap between where you are and where you want to be? Understand how to apply the Stockdale Paradox to your life. Reevaluate your daily routine and challenge long held strategies and beliefs that may be holding you back. Adopt new beliefs that will impact you personally and professionally. Understand how to use the Law of Familiarity to your advantage instead of negatively impacting your life.
    Mr Eichelberger will speak on Monday September 27, 2010.
     
  • The Florence Prescription for Building a Culture of Ownership
    Joe Tye, Speaker, CEO and Head Coach of Values Coach Inc.
    Joe will share eight essential characteristics of a culture of ownership, and practical strategies for fostering such a culture. You will understand why the Invisible Architecture of core values, organizational culture, and emotional climate is more important than the design and decor of physical buildings and why eradicating toxic emotional negativity from the workplace is an essential leadership duty. In today's complex world mere accountability isn't enough. Today's hospitals can't survive, much less thrive, with hired hands on the job-they need people who think like partners, people who own their work rather than just renting a space on the organization chart.
    Mr Tye will speak on Tuesday September 28, 2010.
     
  • Health Care Reform:  Changes, Challenges and Opportunities
    Rich Umbdenstock, President and CEO for the American Hospital Association
    Sweeping health care reform legislation was passed this Spring.  Rich Umbdenstock, president and CEO of the American Hospital Association, will discuss what it means for hospitals - the short and long term implications - and what we as health care leaders should think about as we plan for the future.
    Mr Umbdenstock will speak on Wednesday September 29, 2010.
     
  • How to Create a Dream Team at Work: The Magic is in the Mix
    David Rabiner, Speaker
    Certified Speaking Professional  (CSP)
    Why let personality conflicts at work impact morale and disrupt productivity? Through hilarious examples of workplace behavior all audiences can relate to, David provides practical techniques to help audience members turn interpersonal differences into business advantages. An eye-opening window on human behavior, this program is perfect for helping teams to perform at their peak.
    Mr Rabiner will speak on Wedn September 29, 2010.
