“Joe’s presentation was such a big hit that resonated with all our leaders. I cannot thank you enough for working with our leaders to improve our skills and our patients’ experience.”
Charlie Button, CEO, Regional Medical Center

“Your presentation was just what we hoped it would be – good
information delivered with humor but most importantly a message
that inspired and gave hope to folks who are leading in whitewater
times and aspiring to develop their staff, work with them to shape a
new healthcare system, and provide the best for patients.”
Elizabeth Beaudin, Director of Nursing and Workforce Initiatives,
Connecticut Hospital Association

“Outstanding presentation. It was perfect for the culture journey in
our organization. Feedback has been excellent. Actually the best we
ever had since we started these system-wide manager meetings a
few years back. This large group meets twice per year so the day
needs to be impactful. You were very impactful.”
Joe Devine, President & CEO, Kennedy Health

“We first looked into Values Coach because we liked the concept of a culture of ownership that embraces people at all levels of the organization. After visiting Children’s Hospital of New Orleans and seeing the incredible impact the Values and Culture Project is having there, we knew that we had to bring this program to Tri-County Health Care.”
Teresa Johnson, SPHR, SHRM-SCP
VP Human Resources, Tri-County Health Care

“Everyone at TriHealth is still talking about your presentation and
there is unanimous agreement that you are the best speaker we
have ever had! People have said that they could have listened to
you all day. I have never seen anyone else get a standing ovation
before either.”
