Join Jared as he recaps what he heard, learned, and felt at the NESHCO (New England Society for Healthcare Communications) 2019 Conference in Providence, Rhode Island. He shares three keys to pivoting skill sets and becoming more relevant: building business cases that break through with senior leadership, creating content that breaks through the clutter, and knowing how to break through our own inertia and find our “why” in the midst of the day-to-day grind. All that, plus a re-recorded version of the NESHCo Rap that gives shout-outs to 19 people and 1 cat.

NESHCo Rap lyrics
Let’s go, NESHCo!
Here in Providence chilling
I ain’t no villain
This party’s off the hook
Gonna bust through the ceiling
‘Cause the roof can’t hold
Such a powerful crowd
Time to turn it up
Turn it up real loud
Whenever people see us
They wanna try and be us
They wanna feel the magic that we bring
It’s serious
That’s right this place is lit, yeah
You’ll never know what hit ya
You can't go back
Once the bug has bit ya
'Cause that’s marketing
Yeah, we’re everything
'Cause without our knowledge of the customer
You can’t do anything
So I’m here today
To help you see and feel
We’ll drop it like it’s hot
And we’re keeping it real
'Cause I’m Master J
From the desert not the street
When I’m on stage
Clap your hands and move your feet
My rhymes are immaculate
You know you feel the heat
This party ain’t over
Til I take a seat
Let’s go, NESHCo!
It all starts with you
All the people here
You’re why this is special
Let me be clear
You’re what NESHCo
Is all about
So let’s give some of y’all
A big shout out
Chad Campbell and
Christina di Bona
With them as co-chairs
You’re never alone-a
Dan Dunlop and his cat Batman
Kelly David, catch her if you can
Hilary Lima at SVM
Everybody should wanna meet them
Jill Halsey and
Jeff Steblea
Helping out with
emerging leaders
This year's graduates
Are quite a crew
So of course
We're gonna name every one of you
Jenn, Cassie, Bill, and Amy,
Beth, Nicole, Matt, and Emmy,
Trina, Patrick, Jillian, and Kwame
Did I forget anyone? Just call me
So is it just me
Or is it hot in here?
When this rap is done
Don’t shed a tear
Make it count
Help your network grow
It’s time, NESHCo, c’mon
Let’s go!
