Today on The Vision of Leadership Podcast, we have Deidra Romero. Deidra is a mom of two, baker of bread, maker of foods, a blogger, writer, content creator, and a wealth of knowledge and delight. She and I got to know one another through Full Focus (Formerly Michael Hyatt and Co.) where she was the Client Success Specialist. She was responsible for providing a first-class experience for our Business Accelerator clients so they can enjoy the transformation our executive coaching curriculum delivers. Her in-depth experience of coaching and the Michael Hyatt & Company products allowed her to give quality, customized care to their clients. Her career in media began when she started blogging in 2008 by following the advice of a digital media pioneer, Michael Hyatt. Over the years, she’s been published by multiple media companies, most notably as a regular columnist for BabyCenter, the top media company for parents owned by Johnson & Johnson. She launched her own YouTube-based media company in 2015. After garnering over 3 million views on YouTube, she starred in national television commercials and became a regular contributor on Today in Nashville, a local talk show. It was her experience in media that brought her full circle in 2017 when she joined Michael Hyatt & Company. Since around March 2022 she became the Community Care Director for Kris Carr, a New York Times Bestselling Author, wellness activist and cancer thriver. She is the developer of content for the kriscarr.com site. In her personal time, Deidra adores a good memoir, any kind of life hack, and Instagramming whatever she’s making for dinner. When she isn’t at her laptop, she’s doing something fun (and messy!) with her two kids. You can connect with Deidra through her Instagram and if you want to see her creativity in the kitchen hit the videos button and watch her make a killer pasta recipe. https://www.instagram.com/deidradaily/channel/ Show Sponsors: CooperVision MacuHealth

Solo show today with me going over the 2022 MIPS Guide. In the past for smaller offices, there was often a challenge to know when you should use MIPS. With the inflationary rates as they are, any amount of benefit that you can add to your practice while not having to expend a ton of extra resources can be pretty beneficial to most small practices submitting to Medicare. There have been some exclusions in 2022 that allow MIPS achievement for smaller practices to be much more probable so that you are getting the elevated payment as opposed to a decreased payment. We go through all of this and more in this 20 minute episode! Show Sponsors: CooperVision MacuHealth

She was also the 2019 recipient of Women of Optometry’s Theia Award for Leadership.

Chris gives great insight in what it was like to grow up the son of an Optometrist, but not having that to be his career choice until he’d begun undergraduate studies. He also discussed the importance of advocacy in Optometry and how that shapes not only our profession but us as individuals and leaders of the practices we work in. In an email Chris wrote me after the interview, he said, “As always I think too much about what I said and didn’t say. Two things I wish I had said was a shout out to our Arkansas leadership during our legislative battle, my partner Belinda Starkey and her committee, co-chair Matt Jones and our exec Vicki Farmer, [all] rock stars in our effort! And a huge shout out to OD’s around the country, particularly the AOA and VS colleagues, who stepped up to support our fight financially. We believed that our success in Arkansas would be critical to future state victories.”

While growing up, she saw my mom and dad devote their time to their corporate jobs, their network marketing companies, and their small businesses - all at the same time! She wanted to be just like them. While in college, she had the opportunity to work for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in Washington D.C. starting in the summer of her sophomore year and any subsequent winter or summer break. While she enjoyed the opportunity and the work she was doing, she knew that was not the place for me long term. One of the many things that she learned while working for the CIA was the fact that she enjoyed working with people. She knew her future career was going to involve helping people in some capacity. Upon graduation, she made the career move to ExxonMobil, as they were looking for engineers that enjoyed sales and working with people. Danielle accepted the role to be an Automotive Sales Engineer. In the three years that she worked for ExxonMobil, she learned a lot about business, people and life! When she left the company, her territory was #1 in the nation for the highest percentage of national account customers buying on our program. No matter how successful she was in corporate America, she couldn’t help but to think: “Who is helping the small business owner?” That became her rallying cry.
