Stop Managing and Start Leading!

Learn how to keep your staff engaged, energized and committed to stay.

Turnover is costly – up to 2X the annual salary.* But turnover costs more than money. It’s linked to:

- Burnout among remaining staff
- Ineffective teams
- Low morale
- Diminished quality, safety and service

People leave their bosses, not their jobs. The number one reason is poor leadership skills.

What our students have to say:

"Highly recommended for any current or aspiring leader"

Lisa Jensen, RN, BSN, Community Health & Wellness Manager at Fort Healthcare

“The leadership class, "Be the Leader Nobody Wants to Leave," came to me in the most challenging time in my career. When the CNO suggested the course I thought, "HOW am I going to fit a class into my day during a pandemic!” Oddly enough, it was the EXACT thing I needed to handle some very challenging situations as a leader. I was in the midst of redeploying staff, changing decisions daily on processes, as well as the challenges of hiring during a pandemic - all while trying to be that leader nobody wants to leave. The tools taught in the course, along with the coaching sessions provided, helped me in many ways. I would highly recommend this course to any current and aspiring leader."

"I am convinced that this formula is essential for creating a positive patient experience, and successful business"

Jessica Bush, Director of Patient Experience

“This class is not just for the nurse manager but anyone in leadership looking to create a successful team. I have not found this level of practical wisdom in any textbook or college class. I am convinced that this formula is essential for creating a positive patient experience, successful business, and a culture that employees can thrive in.”

"Great results"

Heather Freudenberger, MSN, RN, CEN Emergency Services Manager

“Prior to this class I had a different idea of what rounding was. Now, I round with a purpose and have been practicing my stay interviews with great results.”

"I would definitely consider sending more members of my leadership team to this training."

Lesley Chapin, Psy.D. Licensed Clinical Psychologist VP Pauquette Center, Portage, WI

“I have had some basic training in leadership, but wanted something more in-depth. Despite being virtual, this course is really hands-on. The learning structure fits well with behaviorally-based learning in which the instructors teach by discussing the skill, modeling the skill, giving an opportunity to practice, and providing behaviorally-specific feedback during the coaching sessions. The lessons provide some very practical, but important tools to enhance my skills, engage my team, and to develop and retain my high-performers. I would definitely consider sending more members of my leadership team to this training.”
