He created a marketing and sales legacy and an organizational culture model that other divisions were asked to emulate. Clearly, he was qualified to serve as a director on the board. She communicated why she exists to serve very well.” His friend recommended that he work on his personal brand messaging. “Stories like this are tragic,” says Mary E. Maloney, Principal and Brand Strategist for Revealing Genius LLC., a woman-owned online education & training firm specializing in strategic brand messaging exclusively for healthcare executives. “In my experience, this is a persistent problem, more so the norm vs. the exception.” He was thrilled to be shortlisted to one of two candidates who fit their ideal profile. But he did not get selected. Originally from Mexico, George had risen through the ranks, earning promotions into new roles that resulted in moving his family all over the world. He speaks seven different languages and was the recipient of prestigious awards. He managed teams on health and wellbeing When he asked for feedback from the Chairman, a mentor and friend, he heard this… (paraphrased) “George, when I asked both candidates the same question – what do you stand for - the other candidate's answer was more convincing.

Many say they are uncomfortable talking about themselves or they suffer from imposter syndrome and therefore gloss over their achievements and core competencies. Some real-life examples are: Ÿ A CEO emeritus of one of the largest payers in the nation repositioned himself to become a mentor and investor to innovative healthcare technology rms in the behavioral health space, an area he is passionate about. Ÿ A neurosurgeon who dedicated his life's work to documenting rare brain surgery procedures is training the next generation of brain surgeons, even in third world countries. Ÿ The President of one of the largest health systems in the nation, at the apogee of his career, strategically remessaged to attract a 7- gure role where he could impact millions of lives with one of the largest healthcare companies in the world Ÿ A physician executive prepared carefully for the rst 90 days in a CEO leadership role for a telemedicine company and is making her mark specializing in #hyperlocalhealthcare and the revitalization of rural communities. Ÿ A nurse, who moved up the ranks to the C-Suite, serving at the same prestigious health system for 41 years, pivoted into a private consulting practice and now has a waiting list of top tier clients in need of her unique leadership development approach for large multi-location healthcare organizations Ÿ A scientist from one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the world rekindled her passion for medicine and secured funding for a moonshot project she masterminded to help underserved communities in her native South Africa Ÿ Founders of a health and wellness app in Australia amplied their “why” in their pitch deck to investors which enabled them to stand out in a crowded market to raise millions to expand to the UK and the USA Ÿ A tech genius started a radiology scheduling company after his father experienced issues and delays during his radiology visit - a narrative that has earned his team the trust of the largest practices in the nation As a result, advanced innovations or points of view that could change the world, particularly in healthcare, get overlooked or worse, cause confusion, because the messaging is too technical or verbose. Many clients come to Revealing Genius with stories about being passed over for dream jobs and board seats, seeing less qualified candidates cross the finish line amongst a highly competitive set; they lead healthcare tech companies that struggle to secure funding because their pitch deck narrative is too complex to understand; or their mission-critical speech misses the mark. Mary has listened to stories from CEOs who learned their top talent left the company to go with a competitor because the competitor's team was perceived to be more passionate about a worthy cause. worldsleaders.com | 11
What's the common thread for successful branding? #brandonpurpose Going through the ETA process changed the trajectory of George's career as well. He emerged with a one-page to remind him of his purpose, his why and his hows. It sparked him to come alive with expanded ambitions to pursue something even more fullling. He decided to pivot into leading an economic development project that will shore up the wellbeing of a community and leave a legacy that he did not have access to in his corporate life. He says this career transition work is the most important he's ever done. *Brand Manifesto “Messaging matters,” says Maloney. It is her manifesto. Research from Capgemini's Digital Transformation Institute says that 82% of people make buying decisions based on emotion. Therefore she implores that it's not enough to talk about what you do; executives must be able to authentically articulate why they exist to serve as evidenced by Simon Sinek's TEDTalk, “Start with why.” It is one of the top five most viewed TEDTalks ever. “I got hooked on the power of corporate branding in my first role in public relations right out of college,” says Mary. Her mentor, who she still keeps in touch with, opened her eyes to the power of perceptions. Together, their team successfully rebranded a regional Rehabilitation facility specializing in treating children with disabilities, propelling it from virtually unknown to international recognition within one year. The key message was “Amazing Kids.” It was so impactful that the organization's URL was changed to amazingkids.org which is still being used after three decades. You can hear more stories of brand shifts in The Great Work of Your Life video series. Modeled after the long-running show, Inside the Actors Studio, lmed at Pace University, the series features a Proust questionnaire concept and a rotating panel of guests who share an insider's view of how they are realizing their true calling and staying aligned with their personal brand. 12 | SEPTEMBER 2023
A client keeps the Revealing Genius on his desk in a family heirloom typewriter where he can see it every day. Arguably one of the most important personal/career development exercises, it enables leaders to “give words” to their true north and calling. It also serves as a guide to enable us to say “no” respectfully to things that do not serve us anymore. Think of it as a necessary framework from which to mindfully pursue the great work of our lives. *Brand Manifesto worldsleaders.com | 13
The brand stories we told exponentially helped more families around the world to receive necessary healthcare. This is why I'm effusive about branding. It's become my life's work.

Notable ATHENA Global leadership award recipients include Nina Totenberg, Billie Jean King, Condoleezza Rice, Christina Koch and Marlo Thomas. Her education includes Duquesne University, Villanova University and the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. She's also served as an adjunct professor and guest lecturer for multiple colleges and universities. What she learned along the way and continues to teach is that company cultures do not soar without powerful messaging that resonates internally and externally. “Get the messaging right and it creates tremendous momentum for the brand.” 14 | SEPTEMBER 2023
Passionate about paying it forward to empower leaders in healthcare It was an ophthalmologist who believed in Mary, recognized her talent for messaging and helped her get her first business started. She therefore feels duty bound to pay it forward. She knows first-hand how raising capital can make or break a business. Having pitched and raised millions from Angel investors, VCs and private equity firms, she proactively sponsors healthcare industry entrepreneurs through her involvement as a trusted advisor and keynote speaker with organizations like Springboard Enterprises, the Caregiver Accelerator and the Florida Blue Pitch Competition. By participating in these initiatives, she ensures that game-changing companies and their founders receive the necessary guidance to develop effective messaging to gain the support they need to enter competitive markets swiftly and make their mark. Active with ACHE, she serves on the Regent Advisory Committee (RAC) for Northern & Western Florida. Her big goal for this year is to sit for the exam to earn the distinction of board certification and become a Fellow of the American College of Healthcare Executives (FACHE). The flagship “Excavate Your Brand Genius” Summit held quarterly, is a live, virtually facilitated starting point where participants internalize a structured, proven, trademarked ETA Process (Excavate-Tell-Affirm™) to create clear, compelling brand narratives that stand out and resonate with target audiences. worldsleaders.com | 15

DAVID CONTORNO CONTORNO Revolutionizing the Health Insurance Industry with Transparent and Patient-Centric Health Plans A Passion Unveiled David's journey in the insurance industry began at the age of 12, but it wasn't until he turned 17 that he found his passion in benefits and health insurance. For the first 18 years years, he dedicated his career to providing traditional broker services and offering conventional health plans. But inevitably, costs went up and benefits went down. So he chose to take a very different path. Alongside his insurance work, David also nurtured a love for photography, which led him to pursue a college education in the field. He even gained experience by working at a renowned chain of camera stores, although the company has unfortunately closed its doors since then. Despite his detour into photography, David's professional path has predominantly remained rooted in the same industry he thrives in today for nearly 30 years. worldsleaders.com | 19
I his outspoken critique of traditional insurance carriers and their detrimental effects on employers, clinicians, and patients, David has emerged as a pioneering figure within the industry. express a desire to do so in the near future, recognizing that progress in its field benefits all stakeholders. n the competitive world of insurance, few leaders have made as significant an impact as David Contorno, Founder & CEO of E Powered Benefits. Renowned for While E Powered Benefits does provide a full benefits package, its primary focus and unique selling proposition lie in revolutionizing the most crucial aspect of employment decisions: the health plan. Teaching and Leading by Example David believes that teaching is a crucial element in achieving his goals. He actively engages in teaching and mentoring endeavors, which have proven to be highly rewarding. By sharing his knowledge and experiences, David often receives significant returns on his investment. He focuses on mentoring consultants individually, instructs the CHVA course developed by his partner Emma Fox, and frequently speaks in educational settings. Drawing from his extensive experience as a seasoned agency owner and successful consultant, David recognized the pressing need for change. Fueled by a passion for transparency and a desire to empower employers, he embarked on a groundbreaking journey to establish an anti- BUCAH (Blues, United, Cigna, Aetna, and Humana) brokerage. With an unwavering focus on reshaping health plans, David aimed to re-establish control in employers' hands while prioritizing affordable, high-quality care for all covered patients. Furthermore, David believes in practicing what he preaches when it comes to healthcare consumption. He applies the same metrics and principles that he advises his clients to use when making healthcare decisions for himself and his family. It is essential to him that people recognize his commitment to action rather than mere words. David acknowledges that the industry is filled with rhetoric and empty promises. For instance, when a Third-Party Administrator approaches him, claiming to support the same ideals, he challenges them by asking if they are familiar with the tagline from the Capital One commercial, "What's in your wallet?" If they produce a carrier ID card, he interprets it as a sign that they do not believe in practicing what they advocate, suggesting a double standard. David's trailblazing efforts have not gone unnoticed. Garnering accolades and recognition, he has been honored as Forbes' Most Innovative Insurance Broker, BenefitsPro's Broker of the Year, and Validation Institutes' Advisor of the Year. Furthermore, his tireless work in reforming the US healthcare system has earned him a place in multiple New York Times Best Selling books. Beyond his impressive accolades, David actively engages with audiences nationwide, spreading his wealth of knowledge and expertise. Passionate about educating fellow advisors and industry stakeholders, he dedicates himself to equipping them with the tools and insights required to deliver high-performance health plans to employers across the country. Through his teaching, mentoring, and personal example, David strives to bring about a shift in the industry, where consistency and integrity in applying healthcare metrics and incentives become the norm. Empowering Employers and Employees E Powered Benefits specializes in providing consulting services to employers and industry brokers/consultants. The company introduces a ground-breaking approach to constructing a unique type of health plan that achieves what may appear impossible but is actually remarkably simple. Its aim is to create a health plan for employees that significantly reduces costs for employers by 40-60% compared to traditional plans, while offering members the benefit of NO OUT-OF-POCKET expenses for most services. Moreover, its plan incentivizes improved clinical outcomes and enhances overall quality of life. A Profit-Driven Model for True Health David is passionate about reshaping the healthcare system to move away from a profit-driven model that primarily benefits when individuals are sick. He acknowledges the existence of for-profit healthcare systems and recognizes that even non-profit systems are motivated by profit, as evidenced by high executive compensation and tax exemptions, which ultimately burdens the community with higher taxes. At E Powered Benefits, the company offers comprehensive educational resources, including a validated course accredited by The Validation Institute. Additionally, its annual conference attracts a diverse audience of 450 or more brokers, plan partners, and doctors, serving as a platform for collaboration with like-minded individuals and organizations within the industry. It actively engages with those who are already implementing similar plans or However, David doesn't advocate for eliminating the for- profit aspect of healthcare entirely. Instead, he envisions a system where profit is maximized through keeping people healthy. In the environment of the last few decades, at least, if our society were to achieve true health, every healthcare system and insurance carrier would go out of business. 20 | SEPTEMBER 2023

Revolutionizing Healthcare through Data Integration revolutionary care model that can and should be replicated throughout the healthcare industry.

George's multifaceted role encompasses court advocacy, counseling, outreach efforts, community forums, seminars, and the facilitation of recovery groups for drug users, including those with dual and multiple diagnoses as well as their loved ones.

Over the years, I evolved my clinical practice into the Integrative Holistic Framework, which brings together the biological, psychological, spiritual, and social dynamics in a person's life to maximize treatment outcomes. ). Below are highlights of the interview conducted between World's Leaders and George Patriki: Which are the major services of the company and how the company to get ahead in the competition? What value-added services does the company provide? Describe who you are as a person, inside and outside of the workplace. I am passionate about being a light in the community and the world in which I live and doing my part to make it better than I found it. We take a similar approach to treating addictions and mental health that Dr. Daniel Amen uses, i.e., bio-psycho- spiritual-social ( www.amenclinics.com ).

and PTSD. We also use many modalities according to people's individualized needs, such as EMDR, psycho-education, narrative therapy, solution-focused therapy, etc. In other words, we offer a smorgasbord of modalities and approaches that are tailored to a person's individual needs. We also encourage people to look at their individual biochemistry with integrative doctors who can address various epigenetic abnormalities that impact their mental health. Common culprits include zinc deficiencies, omega-3 deficiencies, anti-oxidant deficiencies (that cause oxidative stress to both the body and the brain), as well as other key nutrients such as B vitamins, vitamins C and D, probiotics, etc. What are the most important aspects of a company's culture? What principles do you believe in, and how do you build this culture? These are well presented by Dr Stephen Covey in '7 Habits of Highly Effective People'.

What is the significance of innovative ideas in the company? There are many interventions that can help people suffering from either physiological health problems (e.g., low-density laser, hyperbaric oxygen, etc.) or mental health issues (e.g., neurofeedback, transcranial magnetic stimulation, etc.). Accessing these options can help people resolve treatment-resistant issues, and this research has been outlined by Dr. Norman Doidge as well as Dr. Bessel Van der Kolk. We try to include as many innovative and helpful interventions as possible, including EMDR and other treatment approaches. We also support the introduction of neuroelectric therapy in Australia (for non-pharmacological options to detox), as developed by Dr. Patterson. Give us your opinion on; do organizations rely heavily on individual heroics or team processes? While individuals inspire and offer leadership by example, any effective organization will work together as a team through a carefully designed mission statement that reflects the principles and values of the company as well as its aims and objectives.

T The greatest gift we can give ourselves is our health, and almost everything else in life depends on it. Healthcare transforms into a collaborative, patient-centered practice that prioritizes healing and prevention over symptom repression. Instead of only treating symptoms and searching for band-aid solutions, functional health takes a systems- based approach to addressing the underlying causes of chronic disease and barriers to wellness. Good nutrition and lifestyle medicine may support and improve almost every illness or symptom that exists. It's not necessary for everyone to have the agility of a tightrope walker or the stamina of a competitive cyclist. You decide what level of functional health you require to lead a more fulfilling life. Meet, Kristen Poe, owner and CEO of POE Holistic Health, who thinks the world would benefit from more functional health providers and modalities to keep up with the growing demand for functional healthcare and lifestyle medicine. worldsleaders.com | 49
