Learn about Regina Dillon, Senior Manager, Information Security Third Party Risk for CareSource, and TPRA's WNTPRM March 2025 Leader Spotlight. < See All < Previous Next > Regina Dillon Senior Manager, Information Security Third Party Risk CareSource Biography As a seasoned leader in the realm of information security, I bring to the table over two decades of rich experience. Throughout this period, my professional journey has spanned across various sectors. I have gained experience in the legal domain, delved into the realm of hosted managed services, and most recently, ventured into the healthcare payer industry. My focus for the past five years has been on third-party risk management. I am a proud holder of the Certified Information System Security Professional (CISSP) certification, which has been instrumental in enhancing my ability to assess risk effectively. Leadership Characteristics DISC Profiile - SC (Steadiness/Conscientiousness) Myers Briggs - ISTJ Leadership Challenges At its core, leadership is about forging connections. It’s about nurturing relationships with those you guide, your colleagues, and your superiors. One of the most formidable challenges I’ve faced is penetrating the barriers of individuals who are inherently reserved. Engaging with such individuals requires patience and can be disheartening if you let their traits influence your own demeanor. However, I’ve discovered that ultimately, everyone seeks to be acknowledged and comprehended. They crave transparency. While candid feedback may not always be welcomed, when it is given and genuinely taken on board, individuals often realize that my intentions are in their best interest. They understand that they can reciprocate with the same level of honesty. A book that resonated with me and emboldened me to be a forthright leader is ‘Radical Candor’. Key Take-a-ways Third Party Risk Management is not about checking the box that an assessment has been completed. It involves posing pertinent questions and conducting meaningful due diligence that can signal to your company (and the third party) to potential issues that could actually result in a regulatory violation or cyber breach. Fun Fact I love Buc-ee's! It’s an essential pit stop on every road trip. The anticipation is building as a Buc-ee's is being built within about 30 minutes of my home (Springboro, Ohio) in the next couple of years.

Resource Library Women In TPRM (WnTPRM) New Posts Jun 5, 2018 Insight: The Surprising Truth About How Others See Us, How We See Ourselves, and Why the Answers Matter More Than We Think Book Club Most people feel like they know themselves pretty well. But what if you could know yourself just a little bit better—and with this small improvement, get a big payoff…not just in your career, but in your life? Research shows that self-awareness—knowing who we are and how others see us—is the foundation for high performance, smart choices, and lasting relationships. There’s just one problem: most people don’t see themselves quite as clearly as they could. Fortunately, reveals organizational psychologist Tasha Eurich, self-awareness is a surprisingly developable skill. Integrating hundreds of studies with her own research and work in the Fortune 500 world, she shows us what it reallytakes to better understand ourselves on the inside—and how to get others to tell us the honest truth about how we come across. Through stories of people who have made dramatic gains in self-awareness, she offers surprising secrets, techniques and strategies to help you do the same—and how to use this insight to be more fulfilled, confident, and successful in life and in work.

Thomason: Mentoring Multiple Generations to Reach Their Full Potential Mar 1, 2022 The Gifts of Imperfection: 10th Anniversary Edition: Features a new foreword and brand-new tools Book Club NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • This tenth-anniversary edition of the game-changing #1 New York Times bestseller features a new foreword and new tools to make the work your own. For over a decade, Brené Brown has found a special place in our hearts as a gifted mapmaker and a fellow traveler. She is both a social scientist and a kitchen-table friend whom you can always count on to tell the truth, make you laugh, and, on occasion, cry with you. And what’s now become a movement all started with The Gifts of Imperfection, which has sold more than two million copies in thirty-five different languages across the globe. What transforms this book from words on a page to effective daily practices are the ten guideposts to wholehearted living. The guideposts not only help us understand the practices that will allow us to change our lives and families, they also walk us through the unattainable and sabotaging expectations that get in the way. Brené writes, “This book is an invitation to join a wholehearted revolution. A small, quiet, grassroots movement that starts with each of us saying, ‘My story matters because I matter.’ Revolution might sound a little dramatic, but in this world, choosing authenticity and worthiness is an absolute act of resistance.” Leadership Learn how to break barriers, exceed expectations, and be the most effective leader you can be with Ted Talks, blogs, and more!
