Ken’s grounding in clinical surgery, which he maintains by providing locum tenens coverage in New England, allowed him to build trust and credibility rapidly. He used humor effectively to decrease tension and to maintain perspective and accomplished things that none of us would have thought possible. For example, he taught a surgeon-tyrant to express anger using “I” messages rather than his traditional “you” messages.

Urgent Strategic Solutions

Tired of being fire-person in chief?
Facing a defining moment in your career?
Need to make breakthrough progress now?

Take a personal weekend leadership retreat with Dr. Cohn

Now, more than ever, your organization needs someone who can make sense of disruptive changes and provide direction:

* Help caring healthcare professionals reconnect with the reason that they chose healthcare careers: to make a difference in patients’ lives

* Emerge from the retreat with not only a renewed sense of possibility and hope but also a focused action plan to implement the Monday following your weekend session with Dr. Cohn

How it works

You decide the issue(s) you want to cover; additional people you want to invite, if any; locale where you want your meeting to take place.

Dr. Cohn will work seamlessly with you and your administrative assistant to plan the weekend events so that you and your organization derive the greatest benefit. Possible topics include:

Making sense of healthcare reform
Planning for the end of fee-for-service medicine
Keeping the peace between employed and independent physicians
Preventing crisis by building transparency and trust with your medical staff
Engaging physicians to cut hospital costs
Finding field-tested alternatives to herding cats
Innovating despite recession

This program is perfect for you if you:

have a passionate desire to serve your organization and your community

view change as an opportunity to invest for the future and differentiate your service

take a no-excuses approach to getting to the next level of successful achievement

admit that you do not have all the answers and seek guidance from an expert who can provide you with strategies you need to improve performance

are motivated, resourceful, and mission-directed

remain willing to implement quickly and act, learn, and adapt

keep your promises to others and yourself

want to leave a lasting positive legacy

This program is not for people who:

view command-and-control as the only way to lead

do not want to change the way that they have always done business

divide and conquer

blame others

just want to get by, so that they can retire in a few years

What do I need to do to sign up?

Admission to this exclusive program is limited and occurs by application and telephone interview.

Guarantee

The weekend you spend with Dr. Cohn will produce a focused action plan that you can implement immediately, or his consulting time is free, and you pay nothing but his travel expenses.

If your organization is like others, you may lose what he charges in only a week because of suboptimal engagement and performance. Starting with an intensive weekend retreat can help you prevent the next crisis and build virtuous rather than vicious cycles.

Dr. Cohn has worked in 40 states, traveling over 750,000 miles the last decade. He understands the challenges you face and knows what approaches are working throughout the country.
