Inspiration and Well-being: Scott Kashman

Inspiration doesn’t always come from the a-ha moments in life. It can be found in the small experiences in each day—in healthcare, the smile from a patient, the high five from a colleague, the awe-inspiring expertise of a physician or nurse. Wherever inspiration surfaces, it can alleviate stress and foster well-being.

In this podcast – the first in WittKieffer’s Impactful Leaders Podcast – senior partner Dan Young converses with Scott Kashman, MHA, FACHE about finding inspiration at work and the factors that promote executive and staff well-being. Kashman is the President & CEO of Ascension St. Vincent's Riverside (formerly market president and CEO of St. Dominic Health Services and St. Dominic Hospital) and co-author of the book Mindful Healthcare: Healthy Team, Healthy Business. A key to encouraging well-being, Kashman maintains, is to give individuals more control over their circumstances so they feel inspired to improve them.
