What People Are Saying About Us

C. Edward Brown
CEO, The Iowa ClinicHLI (CTI) and its Physician Leadership Institute had a significant and positive impact on our physicians. Not only did they learn essential leadership skills, but also how to collaborate with others and think strategically, they were able to apply those skills immediately to projects that addressed important, real-world objectives for our health system!

Kim Miller
FACHE, CEO, Beaver Dam Community HospitalI can’t say enough about HLI's (CTI’s) Leadership Fellowship! The lectures were relevant and engaging and the exercises really drove the lessons home. The opportunity to complete a 360 evaluation and have a personal coach make this far better than other conferences and classes I have attended. If you’re given the chance to participate, don’t hesitate. It’s well worth the time. You’ll learn about leadership; you’ll learn even more about yourself.
