EXECUTIVE COACHING

The Healthcare Industry requires outstanding leadership skills throughout the Enterprise to insure organization's survival and long term success. These outstanding leadership skills are necessary throughout "C suite" and extend throughout the organization. Given the increased focus on healthcare quality and efficiency, there is growing need for improved leadership skills throughout the clinical  service areas.

For example, nurses play an important role in Clinical Care and play a leadership role enhancing quality and improving efficiency. A Chief Nursing Officer (CNO) is often partnered with a Chief Operations Officer (COO) or Medical Director to maximize all aspects of the Healthcare Team.
