Leadership Development Program Provides Coaching and Camaraderie

Last month, a diverse group of 27 healthcare leaders from around the country gathered in Chicago to refine their leadership styles. During the Leadership Development Program, led by expert faculty Michael A. Broscio and Cynthia Kivland, program participants raised their self-awareness through discussion around five key assessments used to determine how their behavioral patterns as leaders affect others.

Attendees identified barriers that prevent them from taking their careers to the next level, and they received valuable and enlightening feedback about their personal leadership styles through one-on-one virtual coaching sessions after the event. Additionally, program attendees enjoyed a retreat-like atmosphere and developed a great sense of camaraderie with their fellow participants.

Information about next year’s Leadership Development Program, Oct. 12–14, 2020, will be available soon.
