INTRODUCTION
If you needed support to eat less, move more, stop smoking, or reduce the physical toll of stress, you'll call on a health and wellness coach. Coaches in this niche not only help clients identify goals, plan strategies, and create structures, but they also explore their the underlying beliefs that may be getting in the way of their health goals.
A recent Wall Street Journal article--Wellness Programs May Face Legal Tests: Plans That Penalize Unhealthy Workers Could Get Tighter Rules--discusses the US Department of Labor’s decision to curtail the ability of employers to motivate workers to kick unhealthy habits by making health insurance more expensive for unhealthy workers than for their colleagues.
Workplace wellness programs--which focus on illness prevention and chronic disease management through self-maintenance--are one key ingredient for healthcare cost control in Canada and the US. Healthier employees tend to be happier, more motivated and more focused, which benefit their employers through reduced healthcare-related expenditures, improved productivity, lowered absentee......ism and fewer on-the-job accidents. While “sticks and carrots” can help convince some employees to adhere to their wellness plan and lead healthier lifestyles, it will be ineffective or even harmful for some due to powerful psychological, physiological and situational factors.
Even the president of the united states and our prime minister in Canada agrees that wellness programs are essential for controlling healthcare costs. Employer-based wellness programs have been shown to have substantial return on investment through increased productivity and reduced absenteeism, by promoting employee health & safety and organizational effectiveness, and by reducing expenses through lowered sick-care utilization. In our studios we have miss cayla mccoy rosen a private nurse and who is an expert in healthcare coaching in Montreal and Mr Alan kholl is in our studios from Omaha Nebraska and is an expert in healthcare care coaching.

small talk

caylah
caylah you where known as a comedian with a car ,, why?
So to have a good senses of humor in a hospital , especially around patience that where lonely ,not well or suffering , what did you bring to these people with comedy ? ( they where my audience just kidding )

Alan
you Organized the first Olympic Distance Race in Omaha this year , with the help of Ironman with over 700 registrants. When were the Olympics held in OMAHA? And did the oracle of omaha participate? (warren buffet)




questions

1.
How did you get into the field health care coaching in the nursing field caylah ?
And Alan How did you get in the field of lifestyle health coaching for corporations?


2.
So can you explain caylah what does a health care coach mean in the corporate world , especially now that 400,000 baby boomers a year in Canada will be retiring?


3.
Caylah how did you enjoy working as a nurse in the united states as compared to working in Canada?
Did you feel like Steven Slater the flight attendant from jetblue who abruptly quite his job , cursed over the loudspeaker and grabbed some beer then bolted via the emergency chute.
(would you have detected this person insanity)


4.
Caylah What is the difference or what is your perception of the working conditions between the Canadian nursing system and a nurse working conditions in the united states ?


Alan What will be the future of health care be in the US? And How will that compare to the Canadian health care system?

5.
One historical problem with the U.S. system is as known as job lock ----in which people become tied to their jobs for fear of losing their health insurance thus reduces the flexibility of the labor market. . Someone who has recently been diagnosed with cancer, for example, may face job lock in the united states not out of fear of losing their health insurance, but based on prospective employers not wanting to add the cost of treating that illness to their own health insurance pool, for fear of future insurance rate increases. Thus, being diagnosed with any illness can cause someone to be forced to stay in their current job.
Alan have you encounter this type of situations where employees don't want to leave their jobs for fear of losing their jobs? And What have you done in your own company to set the example for corporate health in the US?
6.
“Employee absences are an obvious cost to any business,” ,,Because absentee....ism is hard to ignore, many employers focus on the process of getting people back to work especially in north America , without ensuring that employees get the help they really need to resolve the reason the absence occurred in the first place.”
The finding of a Research Group show that when absence and disability management services are focused on workplace health programs, such as an health screening prevention and Employee Assistance Program and Training, the cost savings range from 16% to 61% when compared to previous costs. “This is money that goes directly to the bottom line,” . “In addition, there are opportunity costs from healthy employees and reduced absence that provide further benefits.” In an integrated approach to health and absence management, the greatest improvements are seen when employers provide a structured outreach program to employees in need.


Why would a corporation use your services caylah as a private nurse or health care coach ?….
…....and do the corporations know the benefits of health care coaching because the benefits are huge?


7.

8.
Is this the new trend for private Nursing in Canada ?

9.

10.
Do US companies look for global corporate wellness programs?


11.
Alan What is the role of the health coach in promoting healthy behaviors?


12.

This is quote that I like to end the show with and it goes like this ,,,
“You are the only one who can create your own sense of security. Invest in yourself right now!" what do you say that Alan and cayla..


CONCLUSION

Tonight we celebrate rosh hashana , the year is  5771 , Rosh Hashanah means, literally, "head of the year" or "first of the year.".This name is somewhat deceptive, because there is little similarity between Rosh Hashanah, one of the holiest days of the year, and the new years as we know as the julien calender celebrated jan 1rst, whereby at  midnight the drinking bash starts and during the daytime we watch the football games ,what else is there to do if your staying in town and not basking under the sun...
There is, however, one important similarity between the Jewish New Year and the julian calander : Many Americans and canadians  use the New Year as a time to plan a better life, making new "resolutions." Likewise, the Jewish New Year is a time to begin introspection, looking back at the mistakes of the past year and planning the changes to make in the new year.
my name is samuel ezerzer, I want to wish u joseph , cayla and alan and thank you for coming to our studios ,a happy new year ...and for all our listners on money and business in canada and around the globe...
L'shanah tovah tikatev v'taihatem , which means "May you be inscribed and sealed for a good year.
Happy capitalism!!
