Just a month after being certified as a women’s business enterprise through WEConnect International, CEO and Founder of Teach My Toddler Inc., Christy Cook will see Walmart put her educational learning toys in 2000 U.S. stores. The Toronto businesswoman’s products will be among the very first to be sold with the new “Women Owned” logo developed by WEConnect International and the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council with support from Walmart.
“For us, partnering with Walmart U.S.A. is a huge accomplishment,” said Cook, “and WEConnect International’s certification process was critical to accessing this opportunity.”

Its groundbreaking Seal of Certification Process, recognized by major regional and global corporations such as Walmart, assesses companies’ compliance with the universal standards for a women’s business enterprise. WEConnect International is no longer affiliated with the organization formerly operating as WEConnect Canada, now WBE Canada.
“Teach My Toddler Inc. is one of our newest certified businesses in the country, and we are thrilled to see Cook already participating in Walmart’s supplier diversity program,” said Astrid Pregel, Executive Director of WEConnect International in Canada. “Her story of success is sure to inspire other women business owners around the globe.”
Cook is a Toronto native who founded Teach My Toddler Inc. in 2007. Teach My provides parents, grandparents and caregivers with all-in-one learning kits and sets for babies, toddlers and preschoolers. Requiring no screens, Teach My kits have everything necessary to teach little ones the basics. From ABC to 123 and everything in between, award-winning Teach My kits give children a head start, encourage one-on-one interaction and create a love for learning.
WEConnect International (WEConnectInternational.org) envisions a world in which women have the same opportunity as their male counterparts to design and implement business solutions that create wealth and ensure the sustainable prosperity of their communities. It identifies, educates, registers, and certifies women’s business enterprises based outside of the U.S. that are at least 51% owned, managed, and controlled by one or more women, and then connects them with multinational corporate buyers.

Comments Off on Affiliate Marketing – How to Market to Women
Marketing to a woman is just like being in a relationship with them: you’ve got to understand why they’ve come to you and what they want from you. To market to men or to women, you have to create trust, but the ways to get it differ for the different genders. The key difference between marketing to men and marketing to women is that women want acknowledgment and if possible, empathy from the person they’re trying to engage with. If you’re currently in a market that specifically deals with women, follow these two steps to increase your commissions.
1. Acknowledge: In general, women just want to be understood. They don’t always expect the man to agree with them; as long as they have an ear out for their problems and acknowledge them, then the value she places on that topic is justified and she feels happy. This is no different online. You, the affiliate marketer, are the man. Sure, you could shove a product in her face, but that’s just going to make her “x” out of your site. And you don’t want that. Spend a little time acknowledging her. Show her that you care. She’s not talking to you, but predict what she would say if she winded up at your website. Do so on your front page in bold letters, or even in a video. Just let her know you’re there.
2. Empathise: Not everyone can do this. The marketers who can really are “the man”, for more reasons than one. Empathising goes beyond acknowledging how they feel. Empathising has to do with actually feeling it. This is somewhat difficult in online marketing in general; you can only go so far with written text, but that’s where the beauty of audio and video comes in. If you really want to make a mark in your niche, you’re going to want to try and empathise with the ladies.
Let them literally hear your voice. Lace your words with sadness at the frustration of unruly kids, thread shame into not being able to walk into a gym because you feel too fat. If you’re a man who can empathise with women, you’ve got even more going for you. It’s definitely harder to empathise if you’re a man but really, it’s just about picturing the woman in front of you, as if she were someone close and how you would respond to something that made her approach you for advice. Marketing is all about empathy.
Making sure that you abide by these two rules in all your marketing campaigns will iron-clad them. It doesn’t matter if your SEO rankings drop, or if your PPC doesn’t go too well one week. Women will remember the person who cares about them and they will directly return to your site. They will make an effort to remember the name and, if you permit them, your name even. This is powerful information that should be used only for good. Thankfully, usually only good people can understand and empathise.

Comments Off on An Insight Into the Path Goal Theory For Leading Your Workforce
In the past ten years or so, we have seen an abundance of new management theories/models being introduced. However, there’s no management theory that’s worth calling a perfect one, also it is practically impossible for all managers to try and apply each of them. Does that mean, a manager should pay no attention to these theories? Well, the answer is in negative, for most of these models are laid down by successful managers or erudite scholars. Therefore, you must go through all of them once in a while, for the sake of learning one thing or two, even if you are not looking to adapt.
One of these management theories is referred to as the “Path-Goal theory of leadership” that has been jotted down by Robert House. In simple words, the theory describes the role of managers in setting goals and then laying down a roadmap to reach there, more importantly it discusses four different types of approaches that a manager could use according to different circumstances. The theory is a good reminder of the fact that management is much more than hiring and firing employees, or maintaining discipline in the office. The job doesn’t end on stating the desired results and pointing towards the resources; it actually starts from that point and remains a manager’s duty to support, motivate and guide his/her workers all the way through.
Following are the four different styles of management (or leadership, for that matter) described in the theory. Remember, you don’t need to choose and then stick with only one of them; an efficient manager should be able to adapt any of the following styles, according to specific situations or workforce.
Supportive approach:
A manager is ought to be supportive to his/her subordinates, right? Still, managers like to carry that “bossy aura” around them, most of the times. As a result, subordinates feel reluctant to speak to their managers. Now, managers are supposed to be the most experienced and well-versed person in the workforce, how efficient do you think will be the workforce, where the most qualified person is reduced to sit in his/her office and look into various reports once in a while?
Directive Approach:
This is the standard approach now days; managers set the targets, assign tasks and resources and provide the subordinates with guidelines. This approach is not bad, given that the workers are qualified and experienced enough.
Achievement Oriented Approach:
This approach is recommended in challenging projects (for example when you need to motivate your sales staff to introduce a new product in the market). At such instances, you need to raise the bar, and then push them to rise above by offering sufficient rewards and appraisals.
Participative Approach:
In this style of management, the manager encourages the participation of each and every member in the team, especially when implementing a change or making some important decision regarding business.

Comments Off on d-Wise and Salient HHS Partnership Introduces ACO Advance for Accountable Care Organizations
Morrisville, NC (PRWEB) March 09, 2015
d-Wise Inc., a leading healthcare technology solution provider, and Salient HHS, a leading provider of healthcare management solutions, announced today the availability of a powerful turnkey information-delivery and analytics platform for ACO performance management and reporting.
ACO Advance powered by Salient’s ACO Minder® is a SaaS offering that combines d-Wise’s deep healthcare and technology domain expertise with the power of Salient’s hosted visual analytics platform, ACO Minder.
With this new offering, ACOs will be able to apply sophisticated analytics to their healthcare data to maximize the savings incentives offered by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Medicare Shared Savings Program (MSSP). At this critical juncture in healthcare reform, the opportunity and need to manage population health, gain visibility on outcomes and risk and control costs has never been greater.
In January, the Obama administration announced a dramatic plan to accelerate payment reform under Medicare, by moving away from the fee-for-service model towards a pay-for-performance model, and a pledge to tie 50 percent of incentive payments to quality outcomes by 2016. It’s critical that ACO’s leverage both healthcare-focused technology and deep subject matter expertise if they are to execute successfully on this mandate. d-Wise and Salient are addressing this reform initiative with a unique, SaaS offering that blends Salient’s user-friendly ACO Minder visual analytics platform with d-Wise’s deep healthcare data science and consulting expertise, and both companies’ proven assessment and implementation capabilities.
“ACO Minder® combined with d-Wise’s expertise represents an ideal solution for emerging ACOs with complex operations,” said Fahad Rahman, Salient HHS’s Vice President of Healthcare. “We’re very excited to enter 2015 with d-Wise to deliver this unique solution to the new frontier of Accountable Care. Salient has provided groundbreaking performance management solutions for global businesses and large healthcare organizations for almost 30 years. Now, our proven data visualization technology is available specifically to assist ACOs to meet their data analytics needs. ACO Minder’s strong suit is high-performance analytics in a non-technical, user-friendly way to assist ACOs in enhancing patient care delivery in a financially sound and rewarding way.”
“ACO Advance is the SaaS combination of d-Wise’s proven expertise with healthcare systems, processes and data, and Salient’s ACO Minder visual analytics platform. We believe this combination will provide the most valuable solution in the industry,” said Joe Randazzo, d-Wise Vice President of Healthcare. “The potential of this strategic partnership is very exciting.”
This solution supports ACOs in achieving the Triple Aim for patient populations and empowers ACO administrators and Providers to track, aggregate and monitor provider-specific quality measures, key financial metrics and then risk adjust their populations according to the CMS-HCC methodology. Designed for use at every level of an organization, the managed services solution provides clinicians and care managers with data views and drill down capabilities that help coordinate patient care, identify system or provider level intervention opportunities and ultimately realize better outcomes for patients.
d-Wise and Salient will be hosting a free webinar, Applying Analytics at ACOs: Delivering Better Care and Keeping Your Share of the Medicare Savings on March 19th. Craigan L. Gray, MD, MBA, JD, Salient’s Chief Medical Officer (CMO) will provide his unique perspective on the state of ACO market built from his many years as a physician, both in private practice and provider administration and as the Former Director of North Carolina Medicaid Program—2009-2012. There will also be a high-level demonstration of ACO Advance powered by Salient’s ACO Minder that will demonstrate how ACOs can apply this powerful analytical software to be profitable, as they lead the way in CMS’ incentive programs.
