What Participants Are Saying About Us
I have been an executive physician leader for over 15 years and the training in the Healthcare Leadership Academy was the single most important training I have received in my leadership career. The curriculum was deeply inspiring and made me a better leader immediately. The coaching skills made me a much more engaged listener with the ability to better mentor and coach everyone I work with. The course also enhanced my skills in performance improvement, strategy development, and management of burnout. This curriculum is probably one of the most important skills for any leader in healthcare.
Ryan Else, MD
I would highly recommend the Healthcare Leadership Institute's coaching academy to healthcare leaders. The carefully crafted content is immediately applicable in my leadership and coaching work, the mentor coaches offer superb support and are the best in their field, and the speakers are national experts in their area of expertise, and still provide relatable, useful content. I couldn't have asked for anything better. I am amazed how the learning and insights apply both to coaching and to leadership and management. I would highly recommend this course.
Galen Sorom, MD
Confluence Health, Wenatchee, WAGiven my coaching experience over the last few decades, I was curious and perhaps even skeptical of what new skills and knowledge I would take away from HLI’s Healthcare Coaching Academy before starting the program. I can say now with conviction, having experienced the program, that I am pleasantly surprised! The content is excellent, and the master coaches and presenters are very engaging. I feel like the program has elevated my coaching confidence and skills to a new level. My coaching presence has increased, as did the power and effectiveness of my listening skills, curiosity, and connection with my clients. Recently, one of my clients selected for this program told me that he was so pleased with our coaching engagement and the insights that we discovered along the way that he wanted me to coach his entire management team. Thank you HLI!
