topic #1

The Admired Executive

How to Increase Your Influence and Impact

Your effectiveness as a leader is only as strong as your ability to influence. The problem is most organizations do not give their leaders the tools on how to create lasting impact on their workforce. According to a recent Gallup workplace study, 70% of US Employees are disengaged at work. A recent study revealed that 71 percent of workers in 19 industries are actively looking for new jobs. Additionally, 44% of the workforce is unhappy, underperforming and overlooked by their management or leadership.


Anton Gunn knows the negative impact of an ineffective leader. Nearly 30 years ago he was a disengaged team member and a marginal performer on a bad team. He was in a toxic culture full of unfairness that forced him to quit that organization. But since that time, he has risen to become a top c-level executive, a senior advisor to President Barack Obama with over two decades of successful consumer and employee engagement experience. Anton Gunn has learned that anyone can become a greater influencer as a leader by embracing 7 simple principles.

Your audience will leave knowing how to:
  • Inspire those you lead and create a positive legacy in their lives

topic #2

People First, Patients Second

How to Create a Culture of Engagement, Empowerment, and Innovation that Transforms Patients' Lives

In this new era of healthcare, patient satisfaction and quality of care have become make or break for America’s hospitals and health systems. According to Harvard Business Review, patient satisfaction and quality outcomes are highly dependent on the engagement, commitment, dedication, and skills of the healthcare workforce.  According to Gallop, currently less than half of the healthcare workforce is highly engaged. Other research from the New England Journal of Medicine  shows 55% of physicians want to leave the medical profession and one of the top three indicators of mortality (death) risk in the healthcare setting is nurse engagement level. This lack of engagement is a risk to patient safety and can cost health systems one-third of their annual profits.

 

As a former healthcare advisor to President Barack Obama and a c-level executive in Forbes list academic health system, Anton Gunn has seen the negative impact a stressed, disengaged and burnout care team can have on the patient experience resulting in medical errors, unnecessary harm, frequent readmissions and decreased reimbursement rates. Anton has learned that healthcare organizations can transform their patient experiences and quality outcomes by embracing 7 simple principles.
