Clarity creates confidence. When every team member understands what matters most, they’re empowered to act with purpose and without hesitation.

In this session, we’ll introduce four guiding priorities—1. Safety, 2.Compassion, 3.Accuracy, and 4. Efficiency—that serve as the department’s compass for decision-making and building world class standard operating procedures. When every employee uses these priorities as a decision-making tree, ranked in order of importance—Safety first, then Compassion, then Accuracy, then Efficiency—everyone moves forward in concerted effort, alignment and confidence. The result is a consistent, empowered workforce that delivers exceptional care in every situation.

Learning Objectives

1. Explain how Operational Priorities create alignment, reduce ambiguity, and empower employees to make confident decisions that support the organization's common purpose.
2. Apply the four Operational Priorities as a decision-making process for resolving everyday dilemmas and competing priorities. 
3. Develop standard operating procedures using Safety & Quality, Compassion, Expertise, and Efficiency as the foundational building blocks for consistent patient care. 

Disney's culture is built on a handful of simple, powerful principles. Cast Members are taught the difference between Good Show and Bad Show, understand what belongs Onstage versus Backstage, and learn an intentional Language of Service that reinforces one enduring truth: Everything Speaks!

In a radiology department or imaging center, everything communicates. A caregiver's body language. An employee ID badge that's flipped over or missing altogether. A wrinkled uniform. Eye contact. The words we choose and the tone in which we say them. A cluttered hallway. A stained ceiling tile. An outdated waiting room. A warm smile. Everything speaks. Every sign, sound, scent, and human interaction either builds trust or erodes it. For patients who often arrive anxious, uncertain, or frightened, these seemingly insignificant details begin shaping their perceptions long before the first image is taken. By the time the scan begins, they have already formed an impression of your department, and of the care they are about to receive.

Disney also mastered the art of positive distractions, small, intentional touches woven into people, processes, and physical environments that reduce anxiety, create comfort, and tell a story even while guests wait. In this engaging webinar, you'll discover how to apply these same principles to your radiology department or imaging center so patients are not only scanned accurately and diagnosed expertly, but also leave feeling genuinely seen, heard, valued, and cared for.

This session will challenge you to see your department through your patients' eyes and provide practical tools to transform ordinary encounters into extraordinary experiences, where clinical excellence and human excellence work together to create unforgettable patient experiences.

Learning Objectives

1. Distinguish between Good Show and Bad Show, and apply the concepts of Onstage versus Backstage to define appropriate behaviors, language, and environments throughout the patient journey.
2. Recognize how everyday details, body language, uniforms, badges, tone of voice, and physical spaces, communicate trust or erode it, and use an intentional Language of Service to reduce patient anxiety.
3. Design positive distractions within people, process, and physical environment that ease patient uncertainty and create a sense of comfort and story, even while waiting.
4. Apply practical tools to view the department through the patient's eyes and transform routine encounters into experiences that blend clinical excellence with human excellence.

Caring Out Loud – Narrating Care Before, During, and After explores how proactive communication can reduce patient anxiety, strengthen trust, and create a more transparent care experience in high-tech imaging environments.

In fast-paced radiology settings, patients are often left to interpret unfamiliar sounds, delays, procedures, and equipment on their own. This session equips AHRA members and their teams with practical communication techniques that help patients feel informed, reassured, and supported throughout every stage of the imaging experience.

Participants will learn how to consistently explain what is happening, what to expect next, and why it matters before, during, and after exams without disrupting workflow or efficiency.

Through the Caring Out Loud approach, leaders and teams will strengthen patient understanding, improve consistency across interactions, and reinforce a culture where communication becomes an intentional act of care.

Learning Objectives

1. Use clear, real-time narration to explain each step of the imaging process before, during, and after exams.
2. Apply communication techniques that reduce patient anxiety and improve understanding in high-tech environments.
3. Integrate standardized “Caring Out Loud” behaviors into daily workflows to enhance consistency and patient experience.

Removing Our Verbal Graffiti – Creating a Language of Caring focuses on the critical role language plays in shaping trust, culture, and the overall care experience. Every word either builds trust or erodes it.

Teams identify and eliminate verbal graffiti:

• Jargon
• Acronyms
• Casual dismissive phrases
• Unintentional tones

Learn how to replace verbal graffiti with clear, human, and reassuring language that creates a shared vocabulary of trust across roles and departments.

Getting to YES! in a Culture of No focuses on service recovery as a powerful trust accelerator. When trust is tested, the way leaders and teams respond often matters more than the resolution itself. This session reframes service recovery as an everyday leadership behavior, not a one-time fix or standalone program.

Participants will engage with the Solving for YES framework, a practical approach that shifts responses from defensiveness to empathy, excuses to ownership, and silos to shared accountability. Rather than sitting on a shelf, this work becomes an embedded, evolving part of your culture.

Through this process, leaders will begin building Radiology-specific “If-Then” Always Plays®—clear, values-driven responses that guide teams in real moments of challenge and continuously reinforce trust, alignment, and accountability.

Speaker: Jake Poore, President & Chief Experience Officer, Integrated Loyalty Systems

Learning Objectives

1. Apply the Solving for YES framework to transform service recovery moments into opportunities to build trust.
2. Shift team behaviors from reactive and siloed to proactive, empathetic, and accountable.
3. Develop “If-Then” Always Plays® that reinforce consistent, values-based responses across the department.

Defining Your Department’s True North Cultural Compass guides leaders in translating organizational vision into meaningful, department‑level behaviors that strengthen clarity, alignment, and trust. Radiology creates more than images—it creates confidence and hope—and this session helps teams reconnect to that purpose amid daily pressures.

This leadership webinar provides the tools, language, and framework needed to define a departmental True North—a shared cultural compass that anchors decisions in purpose and care. Leaders will learn how to identify the specific, observable behaviors that bring culture to life, moving from aspiration to application to build a Culture of Always where aligned behaviors guide every caregiver, every patient, every day.

Finding Your “Why” – Connecting People to Purpose explores how shared purpose strengthens trust, breaks down silos, and reconnects teams to the deeper meaning behind their work. When people understand why they do what they do — and know that others see and value it — engagement rises and collaboration accelerates.

Participants will reconnect to:

• Why they chose medicine
• Why radiology matters
• Why their role impacts every patient journey

Unleashing the Power of Connections sets the tone for the entire leadership series by making trust tangible from the very first session. This immersive kickoff invites caregivers in radiology to experience the same care, respect, and presence they are expected to deliver every day while also confronting an important realization: healthcare has long excelled at caring for the body, yet often misses the human connection that makes care truly healing.

This session surfaces that blind spot and reframes the work, reminding leaders that the way we treat each other must mirror the way we treat our patients. When trust is strong internally, it shows up naturally, consistently, and authentically in the care delivered externally.

Participants are introduced to the Human + Business + Human® framework, a practical approach for restoring balance between clinical excellence and human connection in everyday interactions, routines, and protocols. Leaders learn how to transform meetings into moments that strengthen belonging, build psychological safety, and reinforce that people matter.

The session also equips leaders with simple, actionable tools to build trust quickly and authentically. An Emotional Pulse Check helps leaders understand how their teams are truly doing before shifting focus to results. Ask · Remember · Do® replaces transactional exchanges with meaningful follow-through that builds credibility and loyalty over time. The Employee “About Me” Survey accelerates connection across roles and departments.

Learning Objectives

1. Apply connection-first leadership behaviors to build internal trust that visibly improves employee engagement and patient care.
2. Apply the Human + Business + Human® framework to everyday interactions to balance performance, belonging, and psychological safety.
3. Use practical trust-building tools to shift interactions from transactional to relational.
