Today’s challenging global environment requires those in healthcare to recognize their unique leadership capabilities. With hospitals and health systems at a breaking point, every healthcare professional has the opportunity to embrace a leadership mindset that is purpose-driven. The Certificate in Heroic Leadership is designed to help you transition into an innovative, mindful, and purpose-driven leader through the concepts of self-awareness, love, ingenuity, and heroism. We use a unique mobile application developed in partnership with Business Performance Institute (BPI) to provide an immersive learning application to real life. This transforming, hands-on experience will strengthen your interpersonal connections and renew your commitment to what truly matters.
