Description

In this week’s episode, Sheila Phicil, Director of Innovation at Boston Medical Center’s Health Equity Accelerator, joins me to discuss how physicians and the entire healthcare ecosystem are embracing innovation in patient care and beyond. Sheila shares with me her mission to be a transformative leader who accelerates change and innovation, and makes a real difference in healthcare. Tune in to this episode to learn how Boston Medical Center is innovating in spaces you wouldn't typically associate with healthcare. For example, the hospital grows its own food in a rooftop garden, and also offers classes that teach people how to cook food that will keep them healthy. I learn more about this proactive approach, which is not only about curing people of what ails them, but also proactively looking after them when they leave the hospital.

Did you ever wonder how an innovation got to its finish line? How innovators saw the future, made a product, and created change – in our world and in their companies? I did. Innovation Storytellers invites changemakers to describe how they created their innovation and just as important – THE STORIES – that made us fall in love with them. Come learn how great innovations need great stories to make them move around the world and how to become a better storyteller in the process. I’m Susan Lindner, the Innovation Storyteller. But I wasn’t always. I’ve been a wannabe revolutionary, an epidemiologist at the CDC and an AIDS educator in the brothels of Thailand helping to turn former sex workers into entrepreneurs. Trained as an anthropologist and the Founder of Emerging Media, I’ve spent the last twenty years working with innovators from 60+ countries. Ranging from cutting edge startups to Fortune 100 companies like GE, Corning, Citi, Olayan, and nine foreign governments, helping their leaders to tell their stories and teaching them how to become incredible advocates for their innovations. Great innovation stories make change possible. They let us step into a future we can’t see yet. I started this podcast to shine a light on our generation of great innovators, to learn how they brought their innovation to life and the stories they told to bring them to the world.
