The Reality of Leading in Healthcare:


You spend every day helping others. But when do you create space for yourself?

Healthcare leadership has never been more complex. 

Between system transformation, workforce strain, and growing public expectations, even the most capable leaders can feel:

  • Exhausted by constant demands and decision fatigue
  • Disconnected from the purpose that first drew you to your work
  • Caught between organizational expectations and personal values
  • Unsure how to move forward without burning out yourself or your team
  • Struggling to find balance between professional duty and personal wellbeing

This workshop meets you right there — in the middle of the complexity — and helps you find your footing again.

Time to think. Structure to focus. Clarity to act.

 Over two immersive days, you’ll step away from the daily noise and work through a guided, practical process that helps you:

  • Reconnect with what truly motivates and sustains you
  • See how your personal and professional goals align (or don’t)
  • Identify where your energy and attention should go next
  • Build a simple, one-page personal strategy that keeps you focused all year

You’ll leave with a concrete, visual plan that becomes your compass for the year ahead — clear priorities, key outcomes, and first steps already mapped.

By the end, you’ll have clarity, alignment, and the confidence to make better decisions faster.

This isn’t another lecture on leadership theory or a “self-care” seminar.

 

It’s a highly facilitated, small-group experience for health-sector leaders who rarely get the space to slow down, think deeply, and design a plan that unites personal purpose with professional impact.

You’ll learn practical, evidence-based tools for aligning your choices with your values — without jargon or fluff. 

No magical thinking, no motivational tropes, just a proven methodology that will get you focused and unstuck.

  • Grounded in strategy, not slogans
  • Built for healthcare realities, not generic theory
  • Facilitated by an expert trusted across the sector
  • Focused on outcomes you can live, not just learn
