Today Paul and Leah chat with Alan Shoebridge, The Associate Vice President of National Communication at Providence, a multi-state comprehensive Health Care Organization based out of Portland, Oregon.  Shoebridge discusses how their health care organization has continued to be proactive and progressive throughout the stresses of the Pandemic.

We were very impressed with Shoebridge's abilities as a leader in such an ever-changing, stressful industry to continually try to put his employee's lives first.  He tells us that as a leader in an industry that is so hands on and currently understaffed and over worked he tries to eliminate any unneeded work by asking, "Am I making this harder than it needs to be without any added value, what can we eliminate?"

The Health Care Industry has been a whirlwind of fast paced changes since the onset of Covid, with policies constantly changing and adapting to the current situations. Shoebridge explains that one of their leadership strategies is to start with a plan and be prepared to adapt with the ebbs and flows of the industry.

Shoebridge has many great ideas to help be a progressive leader.   He can be found on  Linked In Alan Shoebridge and on Twitter @alanshoebridge.  And be sure to check out his informative blog on his website at www.alanshoebridge.com
