Super Camp Comes to a Close

After a weekend full of learning, training, inspiration, and above all fun, the 2010 HealthSource Super Camp came to a close Sunday morning, but not before HealthSource's Director of Franchise Development, Dr. Jim Hoven, gave one last rousing speech about the importance of building leadership throughout a practice.

"Help others find the greatness in themselves," Dr. Hoven said. "Create leaders behind you. I think the number one skill of a great leader is the ability to develop leaders behind them, to give others more opportunity."

Dr. Hoven stressed the importance of setting and maintaining goals on a weekly basis, and even pulled out his own "37-cent pocket-sized" notepad as proof.

In setting goals, while having a little hope is nice, he said, without the right amount of confidence supporting you, expectations can suddenly become lofty and out-of-touch.

"If you're going to expect more it requires confidence," he said. "You can't expect and hope. When you expect something, you're assuming that it's going to happen to you. When you hope, there's wonder--there's doubt in hope. True expectation is different than hope."
