We were lucky to catch up with Blair Blanchette recently and have shared our conversation below.
Blair , thank you so much for making time for us today. We can’t wait to dive into your story and the lessons you’ve learned along the way, but maybe we can start with something foundational to your success. How have you gone about developing your ability to communicate effectively?
We inhabit a world designed for human connection, where understanding and relating to one another can be profoundly achieved through simple communication. Despite initial perceptions of difference, our shared humanity provides us with a universal capacity to connect. This principle has guided me through various paths in life, enabling me to forge meaningful relationships in personal, professional, and social contexts.
Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?
As a nurse and nurse practitioner, I have always found joy in helping patients feel better. However, I felt something was missing in the conventional healthcare space. I envisioned creating a holistic, one-stop shop for more modernized healthcare. During a visit to Calgary last summer with my fiancé, I found myself discussing this vision more passionately, and he encouraged me to make it a reality. Consequently, my healthcare clinic, Be Your Kind, was started on November 20, 2023.
Be Your Kind embodies our mission to offer a welcoming and inclusive environment. I’ve always believed that healthcare settings often feel too sterile, which is precisely what I wanted to avoid. I aimed for an all-inclusive space where people could feel comfortable
Be Your Kind provides professional treatments for a broad spectrum of issues. Our staff includes nurses, acupuncturists, and naturopathic doctors, all experts in their fields. Patients seek us out in their times of need. To offer them a place of comfort and trusted professional care is something we consider a privilege. I am deeply grateful to work in healthcare and assist people during these moments.
Health issues vary greatly among individuals. At Be Your Kind, we acknowledge this diversity and cater to people facing a range of challenges, whether they’re aesthetic, mental, physical, or emotional. It’s a comprehensive approach, and the ability for our clients to consult with different providers under one roof is something they really value.
We are currently in the midst of launching a new service, adding new providers, and planning for our 6 month event. The support from our community has made this all worth while and we are so grateful!
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
When I was launching Be Your Kind, three essential skills or qualities stood out: my willingness to seek assistance when necessary, my capacity for problem-solving in the face of unknowns, and my aptitude for delegating tasks when solutions were beyond my grasp.
1. There is an answer for every question out there, you just have to find it
2. There will ALWAYS be hard times, learn how to pivot and surround yourself with people who believe and uplift you.
Who is your ideal client or what sort of characteristics would make someone an ideal client for you?
Our perfect client is someone who views their health as a vital investment. We believe that health is the greatest asset and making an investment in it is paramount. Our philosophy at Be Your Kind centers not only on the duration of life, but on the quality of living. This core belief shapes our education efforts, aiming to resonate well with clients who value their health, ensuring mutual understanding and appreciation.
