Healthcare Keynotes

CHANGE MANAGEMENT

No Healthcare Organization Can Thrive Unless Their Staff Can SHED!

Millions of dollars and thousands of hours are lost each year due to the inability to get employees to move forward with healthcare changes. Why do 75% of all change efforts fail? Largely because people feel left out of the process and lack the skills, knowledge and motivation to adapt to the organization's new systems, processes and procedures. Can you imagine what your organization would be like if everyone could lead and master change? Health Care organizations that equip their people to SHED faster and quicker will be the ones that survive and thrive!

This interactive keynote session is packed with practical strategies for immediate implementation! Leave empowered to SHED for Success™ and:

• Embrace the concept of shedding and why it is a critical skill in today's healthcare environment.

• Learn the 3 foundational R’s of shedding to stay positive, juggle multiple priorities and do more with less.

• Understand and conquer the 5 reasons why people resist change and won’t SHED!

• Overcome the number one barrier in leading and managing change.

• Increase your effectiveness by 75% by removing the biggest obstacles to a successful and sustainable change.

"I believe that every healthcare organization in this country could benefit from Kathy’s shedding message about leading change. She gives people permission to SHED! And if they don’t shed, healthcare costs and dysfunction in the workplace will increase!"

Al Cornish,
VP, Norton Health Care System

"Preparing your people to SHED for Success™ and move forward with “whatever changes may take place” is the best health care insurance policy you can buy!"

Joel Schwartz, MD,
Chairman, Department of Psychiatry at Abington Memorial Hospital
