Great insight in today’s micro-interview with Dr. Bonnie Clipper, and Frankie Abralind, Executive Director of The Good Listening Project – being silent (after asking the question) and the reasons why this is so important. #leadership ow.ly/iY3650zF1tM

I gave the keynote talk at this awesome conference in Berlin. In case you're curious about what I used to do as a healthcare experience designer, here's a peek.
Watch @fabralind’s talk at the Service Experience Camp 2018 about innovating and changing health care from within. #sxc18 #sxc #servicedesign #healthcare #design #innovation youtube.com/watch?v=i0b42VTk…

Psyched to be part of this amazing conference for the third year!
“My job is to make innovators at the hospital look good. People here know there are better ways to do things, but they don’t want to fail. I help reduce the consequences of risk-taking.” —@FAbralind, Senior Experience Designer / @Sibleyonline in Washington DC will speak at #SXC18

Amazed how typing can unlock ideas in the brain of a man with autism. Don't write patients off. #MedX x.com/cblotner_/status/77689…

Replying to @CBlotner_
Many distractions for him right now with so much going on in this room while typing. Still, @DillanBarmache locks in and tells us. #medx
