2014 Mad As A Hatter – The 2014 Version
"The expression “mad as a hatter” used to mean “crazy” – a term first used in Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine in 1829. Why? People who made hats in the 1800s had a high likelihood of aggressiveness, mood swings, and anti-social behavior. What the scientists of the day didn’t know is that the mercury compounds used in 19th century hat making caused mercury poisoning – and those behaviors were from mercury-induced nerve damage.
I thought of this medical history when I read our coverage of a recent study about schizophrenia, Genetic Research Finds Schizophrenia Is Eight Distinct Disorders. The new research has discovered that schizophrenia is not a single psychiatric disorder; rather schizophrenia is a heterogeneous group of eight disorders that cause clinical syndromes varying in symptoms and severity. While I don’t understand all of the science, what I do understand is that what we have known as “schizophrenia” is likely different disorders – which likely need different treatments."
How do avoid the same mistake with professional development? Are we likely to combine a wide variety of behaviors (perhaps 5 or more) into a single category and apply a remedy that would be the equivalent of taking multiple medications (perhaps 5 or more) to address whatever the cause might be?
Here are some examples of professional development topics:
- Time management
- Effective meetings
- Delegation
- Prospecting
- Customer Service
It is easier for us to combine everything we know (or wish to talk about) into one course and then expect the learner to comprehend and apply all of it? How might we diagnose and prescribe a more targeted solution?

2015 How Are Supported Employment Services Funded & Delivered?
"Supported employment provides services and supports to individuals with disabilities to gain and retain employment in a competitive integrated work environment. The main tenet behind supported employment is to find a job for consumers as quickly as possible without pre-vocational training or perquisites. An “integrated” work environment refers to an organization that employs both non-disabled and disabled workers – which is different than a sheltered workshop setting. Services that an individual might receive under supported employment include job placement, social skills training, special on the job training, and guidance and counseling."
How might we provide an experience for an employee to work in a highly successful environment so that they can more readily accept and "own" the skills that we wish for them to apply?

2016 Virginia Medicaid Negotiating With Seven Health Plans For MLTSS Con...
"...announced that it is entering the negotiations phase with seven health plans for its managed long term services and supports (MLTSS) competitive procurement (RFP 2016-01). The plans selected for negotiations are: Aetna Better Health of Virginia, Anthem HealthKeepers Plus, Humana, Magellan Complete Care of Virginia, Optima Health, United Healthcare, and Virginia Premier Health Plan. Final contract awards are anticipated by the end of the year. The initial contract term will run for five years, followed by five one-year renewal options. Five of the seven plans are . . ."
What would be the pros and cons of the following?:
- Issue an RFP which would result in 7 leadership training companies being offered to deliver leadership training to your company.
- Allow these companies to define which leaders they chose to train and how their success would be determined.
- Periodically meet with these companies collectively so that they can showcase their results to you and to each other

"The prevalence of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is rising dramatically—and a quick look at the headlines proves it.
- Between 1997 and 2016, the prevalence of ADHD in children and adolescents increased from 6.1% to 10.2% in the U.S. (see U.S. Prevalence Of Child ADHD Increased From 6% To More Than 10% In...).
- And in a different study, 10.4% of children ages 5 to 12 and 13% of children ages 13 to 17 had an ADHD diagnosis in 2015 (see 10.4% Of Children Ages 5 To 12 & 13% Ages 13 To 17 Have ADHD Di...).
- Between 2008 and 2015, the diagnosis rate rose among children ages 5 to 12, from 8.5% in 2008 to 10.4% in 2015 (see 10.4% Of Children Ages 5 To 12 & 13% Ages 13 To 17 Have ADHD Di...).
- Among older children ages 13 to 17, the ADHD diagnosis rate remained at about 13%, from 13.2% in 2008 to 13.4% in 2015.
- In addition to the high prevalence, this is a high-comorbidity population. Two of three children with ADHD had at least one other mental, emotional, or behavioral disorder"

Which of these four questions plus the original question are the most important to you with your decisions?
