Nursing leadership in our current world is not the same as it was.
WE DELIVER PRACTICAL SKILL DEVELOPMENT TO CREATE THE SUPERIOR OUTCOMES YOU STRIVE FOR... and to enable your leaders to save time and become more efficient.
When your frontline leaders don’t have enough of the right skills and support, your quality – and staff – suffer.
If you have tried other approaches to development, or are thinking about how to bolster your current program, it is likely that other tactics you’ve tried or considered don’t emphasize practical skill development… in the way that we will for you.
While certain dynamics of today’s healthcare landscape different and challenging, with the right support, skilled nurse leaders catalyze change for their organizations, staff, and patients.
Most CNOs, CXOs, and senior hospital executives state that they wish there was more they could do to support their frontline nurse leaders.
Most organizations are lacking personal support and development that is tailored specifically to nurse leaders by nurse leaders.
Nurse leaders who are offered personal support are more likely to stay in their role.
Supporting nurse leaders to identify their goals, mission, and authentic leadership voice, while managing their time and building skills for impact, creates confidence.
Consistent coaching of these skills promotes utilization and mastery.
Nurse leader skill development improves outcomes for patients and teams.
THE PROBLEM
THE SOLUTION
What you need are dedicated nurse leaders to guide and support your nurse leaders.
What you need is not just a program, but a partner WITH a program.
We support you with:
Dedicated nurse leaders that are experts in frontline leadership best practices
Content and learning process that are evidence-based and designed by nurse leaders with adult-learning expertise
Timelines that are efficient and tailored to you and your team
Strategic support to ensure the learning is delivered to the right nurse leaders at the right time
Partnership and expertise to scale the learning and support within your
organization
Our learning content and approach does not emphasize how to make or manage a budget, lead projects, or understand other facets of hospital finance, supply chain, or operations. We emphasize and focus on the skills, behaviors, and knowledge that change patient and staff outcomes, such as:
- Nurse leader rounding: skills for efficiency, engagement, and impact
- Performance conversations: skills for appreciation, accountability, and retention or
purposeful attrition - Service recovery: skills for empathy, resolution, and control

The Progressive Performance Conversation Continuum© Skill-Building Series
This program is for organizations that are struggling with ensuring their leaders feel equipped to hold the essential performance discussions that are the foundation of effective leadership. The Progressive Performance Conversation Continuum© (or PPCC) consists of 7 types of strategic conversations that most leaders were never taught to do, yet are critical to their outcomes.
We provide a customized learning program that teaches leaders how to strategically hold the most important conversations which not only improve the bottom line, but even more importantly, increases their own sense of confidence and fulfillment. We build leader skill and efficiency with these 7 conversations, a few of which are as follows:
- Employee Rounding
- REACH Your Team© Conversations
- Challenging REACH Conversations
- Disciplinary Conversations
