Join The Movement
[UPDATE]
It's time to pause and share: we want you to know what will continue and what is changing.
Surprise, it includes you! There's something here that connects us all.
New direction:
In the 3+ years since we left our own practice, we realized that we're not the only patient whisperers out there. That so many of you are just like us:
passionate leaders who love their patients, their people, and want to be really, really successful.
You fall into one or all of these categories and identify as a:
-
people developer
-
patient champion
-
driver of excellence (process, growth, etc.)
Shared mission:
We found out that YOU want to join us in our mission:
to lead REAL change by bringing powerful soft skills, relational intelligence, and emotional connection into healthcare in a way that drives success, shifts culture, and impacts patient experience like never before.
Why? Because you, like us, know that there's a huge gap in healthcare here. We have no resources for the people side of healthcare, but we need them. We need them because...
human emotions matter.
We believe (and proved, in not only our own practice success, but also in so many others) that human emotions drive all success. When we make people feel...
connected, informed, and safe
(from how we present our brand to patients online, to how we invest in our people, to every interaction and aspect of care) it makes healthcare better.
People are at the core of real, sustainable success, and emotions drive people.
You're on the same page; you want this in your practice. You just need the right tools.
You, like so many of us, have a gap between 'vision' and the 'reality' each team member lives, and each patient feels with us during their care.
It's every person on our team who must embody that vision through every detail of their interactions.
We can close this gap together.
We believe that:
Every person on our team can be an excellent communicator.
The soft skills of relational intelligence and human connection can be learned.
When our team is full of highly skilled superstar players who make patients fall in love with them, then conversions, upgrades, referrals, and premium offerings don't have to feel like 'sales' and will naturally skyrocket.
Our brand, marketing, and social media can feel authentic and really shift perception, combat misinformation, and bring in new patients who already trust us before we've even met.
Your part:
If you believe this too, then join us in our mission to make healthcare better, to make our teams better, to make our patient experience better by investing in people.
You are busy, though (we remember!), so we are doing all the work for you.
The plan:
We have pivoted and...
-
rebranded (check out our new website!)
-
paused our podcast, Success Confidentials (conversations for practice leaders)
-
limited 1:1 consulting clients
-
shifted our focus completely
We've dedicated ourselves entirely to creating...
The tool:
a learning membership for our teams and ourselves. For the upskiller community: those of us who continually improve on our current skillset and expand our capabilities
Isn't that what we want? A team full of upskillers? It's up to us to make this a part of our culture. To give them this support and 'people skills' training.

Leading Change:
Bringing Soft Skills + Emotional Connection into Healthcare
human emotions matter
"Emotions drive all success. From our brand and marketing to culture and patient experience, our patients and team must feel connected, informed, and safe. People are at the core of real, sustainable success, and emotions drive people."
Lauren Weaver & Christine Scarlett,
The Patient Whisperers® & Founders of upSKILLery®
FORMER PRACTICE LEADERS
First-hand experience.
We lived private practice leadership (for a combined 12 years) as CMO and Director of Brand Development, but we came from the world of consumer marketing and are premium patients ourselves, so our approach has always been to combine the perspective of the patient and the practice.
Proven results.
We built a team of superstar patient whisperers, became known across the country for our patient experience, and grew cash pay revenue an average 60% YOY for four years straight by thinking outside the healthcare box using a people-first systematic approach to everything we did.
Real passion.
The force behind it all? We love people. Period. Our patients, our team, our doctors. Bringing people together through human connection in life-changing experiences brings us true joy. We reinvented the roadmap to success: completely focused on people and their emotions. Now, we’re sharing it with you so you don’t have to reinvent the wheel.
What do we do now?
We're out here serving healthcare by sharing what made us
and our team wildly successful...
as speakers, podcast hosts, authors, team trainers,
and consultants.
