Engaging and Empowering Staff: Creating a Culture of Excellence

Clock in, clock out, repeat.

Does this sound familiar? If so, you’re not alone! Staff engagement is one of the biggest challenges facing NICU leaders today. Disengaged staff can create a toxic environment, impacting other staff and the care experience of patients and their families.

How do you transform a disengaged workforce into one that is not only engaged but empowered? And, how do you keep your staff invested year over year?

At the 2019 NICU Leadership Forum you will learn from the collective experiences of NICU leaders to advance your unit to the next level by giving you tangible strategies for success. You’ll be immersed in an energetic, thought-provoking and rejuvenating conference experience suited to both new and seasoned leaders.

Our keynote speaker, Diane Rogers, is known for her positive, collaborative, strengths-based leadership style, encouraging individuals & organizations to “think differently” to create effective, inventive programs designed to cultivate a culture where caring, human experiences occur.

At the 2019 NICU Leadership Forum, you can expect:

Leadership experts who map out clear strategies for success
Numerous opportunities to network, meet and exchange ideas
Small group time to share best practices and challenges
Access to innovative ideas, products and services
Therapeutic environment at a 5-star resort
The NLF is a conference you just can’t afford to miss! Join us at the beautiful desert resort, the Wigwam, outside Phoenix, AZ, this April for one of the most unique professional opportunities of your career!
