Proud to represent Frazier & Deeter at this year’s HITRUST Conference, where I had the opportunity to speak on Beyond Survival: Elevating Healthcare Security with HITRUST. With the rise of cyberattacks disrupting healthcare — from supply chain breakdowns to critical care breaches — it's clear that healthcare executives must act urgently. Recent hacks serve as a stark reminder that cybersecurity and patient safety should be top priorities. But here's the good news: we can do more than just survive these challenges — we can thrive.

"If you price too low, you’re signaling inferiority, even if the quality of your work says otherwise." - John Ray Many business owners fear that pricing too high will scare away clients, but John Ray highlights a key truth: pricing is a marketing signal for value. Confidence plays an important role in successful business negotiations. As a service provider, understanding the connection between price and perceived value is essential to creating trust and delivering great outcomes. Join us on Innovation Meets Leadership as John Ray walks us through how to guide clients through the pricing journey so they truly understand and receive the best value from your services. 🔥https://lnkd.in/dJbSEeft #setitonfire #theartofinnovation #innovation #natalieborn #innovationmeetsleadership #innovationbook #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #leadership #innovationandleadership

We had an incredible time at the Victory Business Summit as the Innovation Dream Lab™ officially opened. I wanted to create a safe space for business owners and entrepreneurs to: 🔥 Confront the lies that hold them back 🔥 Replace those lies with truth 🔥 Shift out of survival mode so we can start dreaming again What was interesting is that many of our limiting beliefs were almost the same— things like fear of failure, anxiety, and feeling inadequate, which prevent us from reaching our full potential. I’m not dismissing these challenges—they are real. However, in contrast, when we read each other's dreams, they were so different, unique, powerful, and incredible. Every time I lead one of these sessions, I’m challenged to examine the fears holding me back, ensure I’m embracing the vision for my life, and ensure I haven’t stopped dreaming. My biggest takeaway is that we need to dream bigger! Our impact is far greater than we realize. So as I always say at the end of everyone Innovation Meets Leadership podcast. Don't just get out of the box, break the box and set it on fire! Let's go transform something! PS: Thank you to everyone who picked up a copy of my book - "Set It On Fire - The Art of Innovation" - Setitonfire.co #setitonfire #innovationmeetsleadership #dream #innovationdreamlab #wearevictory
