In previous episodes we've talked a lot about high-level rationales for engagement, like democratic principles and moral or ethical obligations. But we haven't really got into some of the operational nuts and bolts, like the fact that there's a whole fee-for-service industry out there - agencies hired by healthcare organizations to support engagement strategy and activities.
Join us for this behind-the-scenes look at what engagement-for-hire looks like. What is the work that's involved? And how does a strategic consulting firm advise on or think about engagement? Is any of this actually useful or meaningful, or does it only fulfill some kind of strategic or tactical purpose?
We attempt to get to the bottom of these questions with John Perenack, of StrategyCorp. John is a communications specialist who often supports clients in developing public and stakeholder engagement strategies and activities. We're excited to bring you this fascinating and illuminating conversation!

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
