I have heard many positive comments from attendees regarding both the content and your passion for excellence and leader accountability! As you are aware, we have struggled to hardwire many of the behaviors and accountability tools. You were able to connect the EBL framework and LEM to the leaders’ everyday work. An ah-ha moment for a number of leaders was your suggestion that leaders not only share their LEM goals with others, but to consider collaborating as the goals and 90-Day Plans are developed. This recommendation alone will likely inspire leaders to approach this work with a different mindset and to make the work more public. We all heard your message that "LEM isn’t just another box to check or thing to do; it IS THE THING YOU DO as a leader!" Thank you for exceeding our expectations and contributing to our organizational success!
Jackie was great! I think everyone took something from her presentation that they could use right away. I really think it was our best LDI yet, a good combination of review and new topics.”
Jackie inspired me in ways I could not have dreamed possible and supported us when our health system went through some major changes, including my immediate area. Jackie not only provided exceptional coaching to our leadership, but she genuinely cared about us as people. Had it not been for Jackie, I would have quit. I was ready to, but she encouraged me to hold on. She was my rock when I did not have any support.”
