TESTIMONIALS
I have been through many, many leadership programs, classes, and books in my life and this program was hands down the best. The classes presented healthcare providers with best practices, evidence and case studies - EXACTLY what we wanted. And the case studies were relevant and usable, which in itself is unusual. This program is the reason we were able to change our department culture after several years of being stuck.

Even with some managerial experience already under my belt, these programs were so helpful in supporting my current methods of practice and in showing me ways that I could improve it. Both novice and experienced leaders can benefit from these programs.

I believe the Healthcare Leadership Program has definitely helped me become a stronger leader; it brought forth some really structured information that I didn't have before.

Having entered into the management role with only charge nurse leadership experience, I felt these classes better equipped me for effectively leading my staff. Every one of the classes held great information and influenced the development of my leadership style.

This Leadership Program has helped me become much more reflective about how I do things. It's given me a broader perspective, a bigger picture than my own world, and that's been great for me.

I really liked the scenarios and open discussion about practical things. It helps you understand the real-life issues and how to resolve them. All of my managers also went to the classes and I've seen a lot of change in them holding employees accountable without my involvement; they take more ownership in dealing with employee issues, which has been very nice for me.

Over the years, I have attended many leadership training classes and seminars. This program is exceptional both in content and presentation. The facilitator makes the critical connection between current research and the real work environment. I have been able to implement many leadership concepts the next day.

I was trained in science---in Physical Therapy---and never had any classes in management. This program has been a godsend for me. Every time an issue comes up I think about what I learned and how I can apply it to different projects. To have formal education really makes a huge difference.

As a new clinical manager I found the program very helpful in defining our leadership role within the organization. I'm grateful that our facility provided us with such a high quality leadership development program. Without a doubt, I would recommend this program to managers at any level!

This program helped me view my role as a leader in a different way. I realized I wasn't just working in the silo of my own department, but rather I was part of a bigger organization.

I've been here for four years now and it's amazing what I've learned from this program!

​
The most important thing for me was having my manager come here with me to the classes. It led to conversations after the class, even weeks after the class, on how we can apply it to our department. The classes have also given me new ways to communicate these concepts to my staff---to express my thoughts better to my staff.

One of the great things about this Leadership Development Program is the networking among different people. We've never had a chance to do this in this kind of forum; it's really valuable.

The Healthcare Leadership Program was beneficial for all of our leaders, no matter their experience level or credentials. The simplified explanations of challenging business and health care terminology provided clarification and enabled us to relate our daily work to the bigger health care picture. The program also empowered us with tactics on holding our staff accountable and managing our time.

I was fortunate to be one of the emerging leaders selected to participate in the Healthcare Leader Certificate Program. As a result of the program, I was really able to see the difference in my leadership skills and can attest that it’s part of the reason I was promoted from Manager to Director. I highly recommend bringing the Healthcare Leader Certificate Program to your organization!

I would highly recommended the Hospital Leadership Institute. Valuable resources/tools to help managers improve their skills (as well as their staff) and build a more successful team you can retain.
