As one of America’s leading leadership experts, Tim has spoken more than 500 times in the last five years to audiences worldwide, showing healthcare organizations how to embrace change, develop leaders, improve patient outcomes, increase staff engagement and improve customer service.

While new legislation, value-based purchasing, declining reimbursements, increasing paperwork, EMR implementation, and Meaningful Use may be day-to-day challenges of healthcare administrators, yet one aspect of the job trumps them all: people.
