“Thank you for your excellent presentation at Provena Health’s Leadership Development Institute. Leaders believe this was our best LDI yet. Your insight and experience have proven to be a great asset to leaders’ learning!”
Jill Sheehan, System Director, Organizational Development
Provena Health

“I would like to thank you again for your excellent presentation. The story of your personal path to this field of work was so inspiring and, it seems to me, especially relevant to the medical profession. . . you bring this collective vulnerability to light with such compassion, and make yourself vulnerable in the process, I’m not surprised that heart surgeons would give you a standing ovation! There is an evident camaraderie between those of you who know the unique pressures of having the lives of others entrusted to your care – whether through the pledge to patient or passenger safety.”
Caryl Sherman-Gonzalez, Georgetown, TX

“Your reviews were glowing: our attendees called you a “very engaging speaker,” a “completely believable” presenter, and “one of the most credible speakers I’ve heard.” You were complimented for making an “excellent transfer of information from another industry to the health care field [with] very concrete examples,” for implementing “great group participation,” and for providing a “nice balance of ideas and how-two. . . .excellent tie-in to prior speaker.” Overall, we were told on more than one occasion that this was one of the best sessions that the audience has seen. Should you like, our Education Department will be glad to provide a sterling reference for you anytime in the future.”
Bob Gibbons, Interim President & CEO, Massachusetts Hospital Association
 

“The work plan for this Institute was excellent. The participant guide, chapter by chapter, was excellent. Leading us as a group to develop our own implementation plan was excellent as well. Steve is a terrific teacher and an expert facilitator.
This LDI is an absolutely essential part of the program, and any other hospitals considering a CRM project need to be sure to include their key leaders and decision-makers. I almost decided not to come to this, and that would have been a bad decision. Our success will be a sure thing as a result of having attended this Institute. Thank you for caring about patients and being committed to our success.”
Karen Sexton, VP and CEO, UTMB Hospital and Clinics

"Congratulations on a job well done!"
Susan Murray, MS, Program Manager/Education Accreditation Specialist
Department of Education, Joint Commission Resources
