The Way It Was, Is Not The Way It Is...and Your Experience Could Be Your Worst Enemy!To meet today's demands means not being crippled by preconceptions. Your old ways of thinking can stifle creativity. The task in this electronic marketplace is to unlearn old judgmentalisms that inhibit vision. Not since the advent of the printing press has the world seen such rapid change in the way information is shared and how business gets done. To maintain the competitive advantage in today's explosively changing environment means more than having access to information, it has to do with how you process that information and come up with new ideas.
The Last Mask of the Authentic HealerOnly when we shed the masks that inhibit growth and learn to explore our preconceptions and face our fears can we take the risks to become great healers. In this age of public scrutiny and accountability, Dr. Hammerschlag believes that leaders in the healing arts should pursue authenticity; create environments that encourage risk-taking; appreciate the power of the unconscious, intuitive mind; and create a values driven organization that makes its work its spiritual path.
Healthcare at the Crossroads: Sustaining Our Healing SpiritThis is a time in which the trajectories of culture, economics and technology are colliding to threaten the care of patients. When the tail of cost control wags the dog of healthcare delivery then the profession becomes just another industry. Most of us came into this field because it was a ministry. The economics of healthcare is causing a crisis of faith between providers and patients who no longer believe that clinical decisions are made solely on the basis on what they need. We must address this crisis because new medical advances are raising more financial and ethical questions. We must restore our trust and commitments to each other if we are to sustain our calling and cause.
Facing Serious Illness: The Journey of HeroesSooner or later all of us are going to face looking at serious health issues. It is not the events in your life that will do you in, but the choices you make about how you come to them. As a pioneer in the practical applications of psychoneuroimmunology, Dr. H has studied the relationships between behavior and health. This program addresses healing through a better understanding of: the psychology of resilience; the power of choice; trusting the unconscious; and the pursuit of vision. Using the languages of science, stories and song Dr. H will show you how you can become the hero of your own healing journey.
The Quest For CommunityThese are challenging times: access to healthcare; globalization and its impact on national economies; an 'Age of Terror' where no place on earth is immune from its violence. Dr. Carl Hammerschlag is an expert on how people and organizations thrive in rapidly changing times who understands the importance of sustaining connections and building community.
He has been called "a voice in the darkness." Dr. Hammerschlag is a spellbinding speaker, who combines the language of science, with the drama of a compelling storyteller. Along with Colin Powell, Ronald Reagan and Dr. Norman Vincent Peale, he was awarded the highest honor in professional speaking, the CPAE Speakers Hall Of Fame Award, given to less than 200 individuals since 1977.
A bridge builder, pathfinder and visionary, Dr. Hammerschlag guides communities on a journey that allows them to see beyond their limitations to a place of hope and healing. He is that extraordinary combination of doctor, healer and visionary, who inspires communities to reawaken their spirit, and celebrate their choices, changes and sustaining connections.
"Carl brings spiritual profundity and tender concern for humanity that will create a healthy community." — Patch Adams M.D.
