The document outlines 10 commandments for excellent customer service. The first commandment is to know that the customer is the boss. The second is to be a good listener by focusing on the customer's needs and feelings. The third is to identify and anticipate customer needs by communicating regularly and understanding their emotional needs. The fourth is to make customers feel important and appreciated by treating them as individuals and sincerely thanking them.
The document discusses the importance and various methods of training pilots and aircrews. It emphasizes that training is essential to bring units to a high state of proficiency and ensure the success of any actions. Different learning styles and phases of training are outlined, from individual to collaborative training. The quality of training, not just the type of aircraft, is most important. Understanding history, what has failed and succeeded, is key to developing suitable training policies and keeping up with changing technologies and specializations in aviation.
The document discusses an alternative approach to healthcare that focuses on the underlying balance within an individual rather than their specific disease. It suggests that health care professionals should help patients reestablish balance and unravel complex patterns in the body that could lead to disease if left untreated. Different behavior patterns like self, will, love, honor, partnership and tribe are mentioned as important factors for growth, illness and finding balance.
The document discusses seeking out answers and improving quality. It mentions traveling to find answers, and that people are warmer than damp castles.

This document discusses skills and characteristics important for leadership and organizational change. It emphasizes the need for a common purpose and vision shared by all stakeholders, clear communication, developing people, and making decisions. It also stresses the importance of understanding the environment, both internal leaders and external communities, and setting a course for strategic change while gaining buy-in and commitment through transparency, engagement, and follow through during cultural transition. The final sections note that organizations must be willing to change and adapt or risk being left behind, and that opportunities should be seized through action rather than speculation.
1) Serving differs from helping in that helping establishes an inequality between the helper and helpee, whereas serving is a relationship of equals where both parties contribute.
2) When serving, people draw from their own experiences and limitations rather than using their own strength, avoiding making others feel diminished.
3) Serving sees life as holy rather than broken, and serves to collaborate with others rather than fix them. In serving, there is a sense of gratitude, mystery and connection rather than debt or distance.
This document discusses improving leadership, employee engagement, and organizational performance. It addresses the following key points:
1. Leaders should seek feedback from employees and be open-minded to different perspectives. Accountability, clear goals and metrics, and aligning human capital plans with business outcomes are also emphasized.
2. Developing leadership, entrepreneurial, life, and coping skills in employees can reduce turnover. The hiring process also needs improvement.
3. Fostering creativity, empathy, questioning the status quo, cross-pollination of ideas, and qualitative employee support can increase engagement. Simple interactions build trust which is important.
This document discusses several key aspects of pharmacology including:
1. The five rights of drug administration and common prescription elements/abbreviations.

3. The allergic reaction process from initial exposure sensitization to subsequent reactions mediated by immunoglobulins and mast cell degranulation, including the four main types of allergic reactions.
4. How natural chemicals released during allergic reactions like histamine, leukotrienes, and prostaglandins mediate effects like vasodilation, increased permeability, bronchioconstriction, and inflammation.
This document discusses discrimination and how patterns of behavior are learned. It mentions mirror neurons, which fire both when an action is performed and observed, allowing habits and behaviors to be reinforced. Discrimination occurs through domestication, genetic inheritance, and mental negligence. By containing "poisonous" cancer cells with healthy cells, the spread of cancer could potentially be stopped.
Physiology and integrative disciplines behind learning patterns. Instructors may freely conduct students to cooperate, interrelate, and create fresh thought network links by writing directly in the work-text. Learning opportunities and reading strategies are incorporated to capture the process. Interactive Keywords, Think-Aloud, Think-Pair-Share, Talking to the Text, Questions, and Mapping in pairs, groups, and individually create a unique relationship with the material and work-text.
The article encourages readers to pursue ambitious goals and dreams, as limiting oneself will only result in regret. While the path is difficult, taking small steps each day and persevering through challenges will help one eventually "reach for the stars" and realize what may have once seemed impossible. Achieving great things requires believing in oneself and one's ability to accomplish more than what seems reasonably within reach.

Pharmacology: Professor Diana Rangaves, Santa Rosa Junior College PHARM 255 and PHARMM 256.1
Pharmacology is a branch of medicine that deals with the study of how drugs affect the body and brain. Studying drugs and their effects, side effects, and how they work, we are able to learn how to treat, manage and prevent disease and illness.
In the study of these chemicals we look at the biological systems affected. This micro neural network of dendrites, neurons, receptors, chemical signaling all involved in the transmission of cellular communication. The field of pharmacology has substantially changed the way we view medications, disease and healing.
Viewed as a Dance Party it has become possible to design chemicals that act on specific cellular signaling or metabolic pathways which control cell function and dysfunction. Knowing how drugs work is all the more important when it comes to serious conditions, life-threatening diseases and suffering. In these cases, knowing the specific actions of each drug before they are administered to patients leads to the highest possible outcome and patient medication safety.
The primary neurotransmitters, Dopamine, Acetylcholine, GABA and Serotonin govern a broad range of clinical pharmacology, neuropharmacology, psychopharmacology, pharmacogenetics, pharmacogenomics, toxicology, posology, and behavioral and environmental pharmacology. These disciplines continue to grow and evolve.
The field encompasses the best pathway to treat illness, disease and prevention; with an emphasis on pharmacokinetics and dynamics, mechanisms of action, clinical use, adverse reactions, drug interactions, contraindications, patient education and compliance.
The courses are organized by modules. Each module has reading, videos, discussion posts and interactive case work to make it real. As facilitator, I curate the discussion, pulling out lines of inquiry and insights as they emerge.
These interactions that occur between a living organism and chemicals are at the foundation of our human care and outcomes.

This is an educational training designed for organizations, executives and employees who desire Excellence. In doing so, gaining awareness of the bigger picture.
This document discusses leadership and collaborative work environments. It emphasizes engaging all employees and making decisions openly with shared responsibility. It contrasts "Orwellian" and "Kafkaesque" metaphors representing totalitarian control versus bureaucratic indifference. It argues that solutions require altering relationships between people and institutions to reduce feelings of helplessness. Leaders should recognize problems, acknowledge them, achieve shared understanding, and empower people through a series of small acts.
Medication errors are a significant issue, with 10,791 reports of errors from 2001-2005 in Canada. Of these, 465 resulted in patient harm, and 10 medications accounted for 43% of harmful incidents. The top medication errors were with insulin, morphine, potassium chloride, albuterol, heparin, vancomycin, cefazolin, acetaminophen, warfarin, and furosemide. Most common adverse drug events were related to antibiotics, insulin, anticoagulants, NSAIDs, and hydrocodone/acetaminophen. Errors can be reduced by taking a systems approach to identify issues in design, standardization, access to information, work schedules
