🤝 In a world that often feels fragmented - imece - reminds us: community is built not by convenience, but by commitment. Collective hands planting a garden or rallying of friends to tackle a challenge together. Lasting bonds form when we choose each other over ease.

🎓 Grateful to support and teach the next generation of healthcare leaders. As students dive into their studies with purpose it reminds me why of my why - to make a real difference in people's lives. Here's to a semester of growth, discovery, & building the skills that will shape the future!

Clarity isn’t about control…it’s about presence. A leader doesn’t always have answers…they hold space for discovery. “The wound is the place where the Light enters you” Rumi #Leadership #MindfulMomentum #Presence

A recent visit to this quiet corner of the FDR Memorial reminded me that leadership must always serve liberty and compassion A call to vigilance We honor not by preserving stone, but by living the principles carved into it Each of us must do our part #LeadershipMatters #CivilRights #ProtectLiberty

This is a big deal 👇

Triple failure…abandoning vulnerable patients counting on its findings, medical professionals without needed evidence-based guidance, & squandering invested taxpayer dollars. These types of decisions prioritize short-term budget adjustments over public health & fiscal responsibility.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

👇make the call. This is unacceptable.

2 beautiful quotes on listening. “One who doesn't know how to listen cannot know how to choose” “Dinlemesini bilmeyen, seçmesini de bilemez." - Yunus Emre “For right choice, first right listening is required” “Doğru ihtiyar için, önce doğru istima gerekir." - Katip Çelebi

Happy Mother’s Day!

Love transcends family ties and physical boundaries. Thank you Pope Leo XIV for speaking up.

Rather than seeing missed opportunities as personal failures, invite yourself and others to embrace the fundamental incompleteness of human existence. There's wisdom in recognizing that no life can contain all possibilities…this is simply the nature of being human. #mentalhealth #wellbeing

Healthcare leaders have a higher threshold for their stress response, which normalizes crisis & spreads stress. Ultimately leading to lower productivity for themselves & the team. Your most powerful tool? Recognizing your personal stress response & how to mitigate it. #leadership #cognitiveburden

Up to 70% of work time is in meetings Ask 4 questions Is my expertise required? Will a decision affecting my area be made? Is my presence irreplaceable? Is this a relationship-building opportunity? 2 “yes” answers = attend personally 1 “yes” = delegate 0 “yes” = decline with explanation

When poor decisions are made, we rarely ask: “What time of day was it?” Yet cognitive energy follows predictable patterns. The same decision at 9am vs 4pm often yields different outcomes. What is 1 underrated skill? Knowing when NOT to decide. #CognitiveLeadership

Why do so many ignore personal productivity? The competency that enables all others. The best leaders aren’t just strategic thinkers but masters of their cognitive energy. What if productivity wasn’t just personal preference but a skill we could develop? #Leadership #ProductivityAsCompetency

Thoughts on rain: In the space between cloud and earth, raindrops fall…neither where they were nor where they will be. This liminal state mirrors our own existence: always suspended between memory and possibility. "In the in-between moments, in the liminal spaces, we are remade." - Elif Shafak

Super cool 😎

⬇️ yes, please.

Took a few days at Disney (resorts only) and soaked in the atmosphere, relaxed, and found some good food. #disney #disneyworld

Your most valuable leadership asset might be those moments when you appear to be doing nothing at all. The spaces between your thoughts are where wisdom emerges. This time of “keyif” or purposeful pauses supports: Strategic clarity EQ Decisions Innovation Sustainability #Leadership #Mindfulness

I've arrived in Cape Coral, FL to present my workshop, "Aligning Quality Metrics with PX Goals," emphasizing that PX is fundamentally intertwined with quality of care. My presentation explores practical approaches to "zipper up" quality & PX, creating a unified framework. #patientexperience #quality

Where intellect and emotion integrate rather than compete is the concept of heart-mind coherence or gönül (guh-nool). Understanding that wisdom emerges from neither logic nor feeling alone, but from their conscious dialogue. #moralperception #IntegratedLeadership #EmotionalIntelligence

Unexpected disruptions often bring hidden opportunities. When disruptions are reframed as opportunities, individuals and organizations demonstrate greater innovation, stronger team cohesion, and more sustainable success over time. Misafir on kısmetiyle gelir A guest arrives with ten blessings

Concept of muhabbet is a deep, heartfelt conversation that builds community. How might we create space for genuine connection to strengthen our collective resilience and psychological safety? The most innovative solutions often emerge from our most human conversations. #Connection #Teams #leadership

Tevazu or humility is an understanding of self limitations and the value of contribution from others. #leadership #humility #service #patience

The middle ground leader: Listens before judging Considers multiple perspectives without losing direction Adapts methods while maintaining principles Balances confidence with openness to correction Seeks unity without demanding uniformity (1/3) #leadership

Yay!

Birlikte Yaşama Living Together Coexistence is not a practical necessity, it is a moral good. Valuing the contributions different cultural perspectives bring is wholesome and enriches our lives. We can advocate for cultural authenticity while remaining open to dialogue with other traditions.

Setbacks are universal human experiences. Tests of character and not definitive failure. Success isn't purely the result of one's actions, nor is failure solely bad luck…both are part of a larger pattern that combines agency of all humankind and our divine plan.

When “holding” others accountable, consider: 1. Development - teaching not punishing 2. Collective and shared responsibility 3. Adjusting to capacity (Graduated) All flow from “emanet” - the sacred trust that leaders are accountable while holding others accountable. #Leadership #performance

İç Huzur or Inner Peace. True success includes inner contentment and balance, not external achievements. For me, takes daily practice.

“Teachers, the next generation will be your masterpiece." "Öğretmenler, yeni nesil sizin eseriniz olacaktır" - Mustafa Kemal Atatürk Great leaders are teachers and cultural engineers, shaping character, values, and worldviews. Their influence extends to the leaders of tomorrow.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

👇AI can’t replace

The ultimate goal is not to eliminate emotional challenges, but to develop the wisdom to navigate them with grace, compassion, and a profound understanding of our shared human experience. Love, patience, tolerance Sevgi, sabır, hoşgörü

It’s not just about hitting targets…it’s understanding intricate interconnections within healthcare ecosystems. Aiming for top decile performance isn’t about comparisons…it’s creating adaptive systems that can learn, evolve, and continuously improve. #HealthcareInnovation #QualityImprovement #yale

Smart move

Please 👇

The hallmark of expertise is no longer how much you know. It's how well you synthesize. Information scarcity rewarded knowledge acquisition. Information abundance requires pattern recognition. It's not enough to collect facts. The future belongs to those who connect dots.

Ramadan Mubarak 🌙 to all celebrating!

PX data isn't just about satisfaction. It’s a lagging indicator to validate that we are improving quality of care. Lots of interest at #HSPI conference for our methodologies linking PX & quality outcomes. #HealthcareImprovement #PatientExperience #HealthEquity #QualityImprovement​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
