8:30 – 10:00  Let It Go, Just Let It Go
Kent Rader

Our healthcare industry is experiencing workforce shortages that promise to only get worse. Recent surveys report more than half of our employees hate their jobs. The number one reason cited for both phenomena is the stress associated with today's healthcare environment. Having spent twelve years as CFO and CEO of Hospitals, Kent Rader has experienced this stress first hand. "Let It Go, Just Let It Go takes you on a journey they won’t want to end. It begins by showing participants the origins of stressful feelings and how humor is a proven tool in combating these feelings. It offers practical ways to include more humor in your life and work, along with stories that are guaranteed to make you laugh.
