Special Events ProgrammingThrough our extensive work with hospitals and businesses across the country, Values Coach understands the challenges that face you, your people, and your organization. We can work with you to develop programs that custom-fit the current needs of your staff.
Here’s just one example of how we can adapt our message to your mission. Values Coach conducted a leadership retreat for Auto-Owners Insurance Company, a Fortune 500 Company consistently ranked as one of America’s best by Consumer Reports and other publications. As a follow-up to the retreat, the company commissioned Values Coach to present its Spark Your Success program to its independent agents across the country and to develop a customized training course on The Twelve Core Action Values.
We’ve developed special events programs for a variety of clients and situations, including:
• Hospital management, board, or medical staff meetings
• Annual staff meetings and other employee assemblies
• Special occasions, such as National Nurses Week
• Employee recognition days and other celebrations
• Events launching a new program or initiative
• Coping sessions intended to help staff through a difficult time or situation
• Retreats designed to renew a commitment to values, vision, and mission
Values Coach will work closely with you and your team to create the program that’s best suited to your current needs. We’re only limited by our imaginations — and we’ve got ideas to spare, based on years of experience.
“Your presentation was just what we hoped it would be — good information delivered with humor, but most importantly a message that inspired and gave hope to folks who, as you know, are leading in whitewater times and aspiring to develop their staff, work with them to shape a new healthcare system, and provide the best for patients.”
— Elizabeth Beaudin, Director of Nursing and Workforce Initiatives, Connecticut Hospital Association
Leadership Retreat Values Coach can help you develop and deliver a high-impact retreat program for your leadership team, board of directors, or medical staff leadership. We can design a retreat around one of our well-established programs, such as The Twelve Core Action Values, or tailor one to you specific agenda. Values Coach leadership retreats provide a great way to unify and inspire your people. Benefits of leadership retreats include • Assuring that your leadership team shares a common set of values for goal-setting, decision-making, and conflict resolution • Teaching leaders to use values-based visualization techniques to set goals • Helping established leadership teams to rethink their organization’s direction and chart new courses for the future • Experiencing how Values Coach techniques can help people think big, believe big, and achieve big • Helping new leadership teams create values-based expectations for their organization • Giving leaders a valuable opportunity to revitalize and reconnect “We can’t thank you enough for the energy and information you brought to our staff meetings and to our leadership team retreat. It was a thrill to hear our (slightly fraying!) employees laugh and cheer again. Your insights seemed to put their experience into a perspective that allowed them to take themselves lightly and their mission seriously. Repeated comments from everyone tell me that we made a great choice in asking you to be our presenter… You can be assured we will recommend you to our various professional organizations.” — Linda Shearer, Director of Patient and Community Services, Immanuel Lutheran Corporation Values Coach can provide the ideal speaker for your association’s convention or other event. Our speakers provide unique, highly original content. We pack our presentations with practical, powerful strategies for success. And just as importantly, we deliver them with clarity, passion, and humor. “You certainly exceeded the goals we had set in motivating nurse executives and nurse managers around the state. Your presentation was right on target with what we are presently experiencing in health care. You offered real solutions to real problems that we face on a daily basis.” — Jackye Ward, RN, Program Chair, Oklahoma Association of Nurse Executive A representative list of Values Coach Association Presentations American Burn Nurses Association American Cancer Society American Physical Therapy Association American Society of Health-System Pharmacists Association of Air Medical Services California Ambulatory Surgery Association California Association of Community Managers Cedar Rapids Homebuilders Association Connecticut Hospital Association Employment Practices Network of Kansas City Environmental Management Association Florida Human Resources Association Health Occupations Students Association Iowa Bankers Association Iowa Chamber of Commerce Executives Iowa Hospital Association Iowa Mortgage Bankers Association Iowa Motor Truck Association Iowa Organization of Associate Degree Nurses Iowa Society of Radiologic Technologists Kansas Health Foundation Leadership Institute Lake Forest College Alumni Association Lawn and Landscape Management Conference Model Merchandising International National Contract Management Association New England Conference of Radiologic Technicians Nova Scotia Medical Society Oklahoma Community Healthcare Alliance Oklahoma Organization of Nurse Executives Parker Chiropractic Seminars ProCon Engineering Society Professional Women’s Network Society for Healthcare Strategy and Marketing Arizona Hospital Association Colorado Hospital Association Oklahoma Hospital Association Connecticut Hospital Association Ohio Hospital Association Iowa Hospital Association North Dakota Hospital Association South Dakota Hospital Association Maine Hospital Association Kentucky Hospital Association Nebraska Hospital Association Washington State Hospital Association Tennessee Hospital Association Arkansas Hospital Association Louisiana Hospital Association – Nurse Executives Nebraska Rural Health Association Wisconsin Hospital Association Rural Health Indiana Rural Health Association

From a Culture of Accountability to a Culture of Ownership
Joe’s most popular topic for hospital audiences covers essential characteristics for building a culture of ownership, including practical ideas for implementing these strategies in your organization, and real world examples for each.
Because nobody ever checks the oil in a rental car!
Values-Based Customer Service
You won’t improve customer service by giving people a pep talk, a script, and a happy face pin. You’ve got to give them values-based skills, tools, and strategies and inspire them to put these resources to work. Patient Satisfaction is the Outcome. A Culture of Ownership is the Cause.
Building a Culture of Ownership on a Foundation of Values
You will learn why having a culture of ownership is the only sustainable source of competitive advantage. Joe draws lessons from the legendary business leaders included in his book All Hands on Deck, as well as from contemporary success stories in business, healthcare, and the nonprofit world.
The Twelve Core Action Values
Joe challenges people to think about their personal values, how those values are reflected in their attitudes and behaviors, and what changes they can make to do a better job of living their values. He provides an overview of the Values Coach course on The Twelve Core Action ValuesTM – universal values that have a life-transforming impact upon people who take them to heart. This program is also the kick-off for a more intensive Values Training Initiative for organizations participating in the Values Collaborative.
Honey and Glue
We often speak of recruiting and retention strategies as if they are part of the same package, but as Joe points out in this eye-opening presentation they each rely upon hitting very different motivational hot buttons. He describes practical values-based recruiting and retention strategies employed by organizations that have been recognized for their status as best places to work. Read more
Discovering the Lion in Your Mirror
The collective self-talk, self-image, and emotional baggage of the people who work in your organization constitutes an invisible, but very real, ceiling on your performance potential. In this entertaining and inspiring presentation, Joe shares practical tools and strategies to help your people break through the fears that are holding them back, stop making excuses and giving in to self-imposed limitations, and work toward becoming their meant-to-be best selves.

Leadership Lessons from The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings
While he is best remembered (and loved) as the creator of some of the most popular and enduring works in the history of fiction, J.R.R. Tolkien also had a masterful intuitive understanding of leadership. In this presentation, Joe uses Tolkien’s characters to illustrate 8 core leadership archetypes, and scenes from the stories to illustrate essential leadership strategies. Read more
The Physics of Cultural Transformation
A uniquely different and completely entertaining way to look at the culture of your organization – and how to move that culture in a positive direction. Joe shows how the principles of Newton’s physics (including force fields, gravitational pull, and escape velocity); Einstein’s physics (including relativity, critical mass, and energy conversion); and quantum physics (including the uncertainty principle, quantum leaps, and nonlocality) can be applied to organizational change.
