Session 1: Finance/Accounting for Health Care Professionals

This session is designed as an overview of accounting and finance. Participants will gain the necessary tools to interpret and use financial information to make key decisions with a particular focus on practical application.

• How to use financial information to make decisions that reduce risk and increase the value of the organization

• Reduce employee resistance to change

Session 3: Charting Your Path to Strategic Leadership

Many individuals eagerly await their chance to be a strategic leader, envisioning a formal, high-level position earned after years, if not decades, of experience. This session makes the radically empowering assumption that where ever physicians are in their career, they are already a strategic leader. Throughout the session, physicians will emphasize critical skills for informal and formal motivation, managing time constraints, estimating risk, and communicating with diverse stakeholders. They will gain both concrete skills and a shift in their mindset to embrace a role where they motivate and inspire others to take risky, time-sensitive actions to create value and impact.

Session 4: Collaborative Negotiations: How to Influence Positive Change in Health Care

In this program, physicians will learn a system for evaluating, monitoring, and improving their abilities as a negotiator. Faculty will share negotiation methods and strategies to help secure solid deals, mediate conflict, and manage decisions.

• How to make intuitive decisions to improve negotiating power
• Gain strategies for analyzing data and information relevant to deal-making
• Improve process for planning and preparing for important high-stakes discussions
• Design strategies for responding and adapting to reactions during negotiations

Session 5: Executive Presence and Public Speaking

Public speaking is an opportunity to express emotional intelligence, and it becomes a strategic position from which a leader can craft their own leadership narrative. Learn how to examine an audience, implement rhetorical strategies, and deliver a message with effectiveness and confidence.

• Assess strengths and areas of development as a public speaker
• Be more persuasive/confident with different audiences (hostile, diverse, etc.)
