Audio Conferences for Aspiring Women Healthcare Executives
A Question for All Aspiring Women Healthcare Executives
Why is it that women hold nearly 80% of healthcare jobs but occupy fewer than 15% of senior leadership positions?
Isn’t it time for that to change?
The confluence of healthcare reform, budget deficit cutting, and the transition to more value-based metrics is causing disruptive changes in healthcare that affect all of our communities. Women who value relationships and who embrace change as an opportunity to improve have the power to transform the way that we care for patients.
Learn from women who have been there and succeeded how to:
- Navigate the labyrinth of your healthcare career
- Leverage your strengths in networking and mentoring
- Use the rules of the game to your and your organization’s advantage
- Engage physicians, especially those who are reluctant to be engaged

Questions
Why did you put together an audio conference series for aspiring women healthcare executives?
Because we feel strongly that women have the skills to succeed in today’s complex environment and are under-represented in the c-suite. We want to pay forward by investing our time to help the next generation of women healthcare executives succeed beyond their wildest dreams.
Men who want to learn more about the ways that successful women lead and obtain results are also welcome to attend and participate in these four audio conferences.
I can’t attend all the live sessions. Will I get a recording?
Yes. For each session we’ll provide a recording you can listen to so you won’t miss a thing. If you have other commitments (like a day job) or if a session occurs at an inconvenient time, no need to worry. Even if you attend a live session, you’ll still get the recording. When you sign up for the entire series, you will receive an mp3 file for each audio conference within two weeks after the scheduled date.
What if I still have questions?
