“Joe was inspiring, transforming and even a miracle worker. He provided an impactful presentation that touched many of our managers that day. After he left and in the days following, managers and others have read the book and say they are being transformed. These were already high performing managers. I highly recommend this to any leadership team. Thank you Joe!”

Bob Dent, VP, Patient Care Services, Midland Memorial Hospital

“It was an incredible couple of days and we received excellent feedback from everyone.  Many from the Leadership Team are saying it is the best Leadership Retreat we have had and offered feedback that Joe was both motivational and instructional.  We see this as another piece of the building block in positive growth.”

Chris A. Lumsden, President and CEO

“Joe gave us an energetic, heartfelt presentation with real substance, use able content.  His passionate presentation received excellent feedback from our attendees and we look forward to working with him again.”

Craig Fowler, National Association of Physician Recruiters
Education Chair and Treasurer

“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

“Joe’s message and presentation is so powerful that within 2 days, I have observed positive changes throughout the organization…The Florence Prescription has spread like wildflowers among our employees and the community, and (is) a daily reminder of the culture of ownership that we are going to foster in our hospital.”

Patsy Youngs, President, Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Kaufman

“Fairfield Medical Center adopted The Florence Prescription with great interest.  We have incorporated the pledge into our culture.  Even non clinicians like me have taken it to heart.  Some of us have recognized our behaviors in the characters in the book and have changed our behaviors to be better caregivers as a result.”

Mina Ubbing, President & CEO, Fairfield Medical Center

“Joe’s visit was a powerful experience for me personally and to our hospital, asking us to reflect personally and collectively on our core values. He demonstrated that articulating and living values that engage employees in a mission of service is both emotionally satisfying and fiscally responsible. The experience was full of humor, poignant moments, and has left us soul searching.”

Cynthia S. Pearsall, Chief Nursing Officer, Fairfield Medical Center

“Joe Tye recently provided a statewide leadership training seminar for Indiana Rural Health Association’s Critical Access and Rural Hospital executives and Board members.  Mr. Tye is an extremely engaging and dynamic speaker. His content was very relevant to our needs.  Attendee feedback was positive, with many requests for Mr. Tye to come back for future programs.”

Cindy Large, Flex Program Coordinator, Indiana Rural Health Association

“Joe was an excellent, engaging presenter.  He had a timely thought provoking message for our audience.  The reviews from the attendees were outstanding!  He provided captivating sessions motivating and demonstrating what we can achieve while making positive change.”

           Judy Dahle, RN, MS, MSG
 Education Coordinator, OR Manager, Inc.

“Joe Tye is an amazing speaker!  He gave the opening keynote address at our conference and he set the tone for the rest of the conference.  His message was inspiring.  His enthusiasm was contagious.  Participants touted his praises during the entire conference.  He also presented a concurrent workshop and those attendees were equally impressed.  We have recommended Joe to other colleagues.  We would gladly hire him again and again.”

Catherine Futrell Davis, Education Specialist,
Association for Healthcare Resource & Materials Management

“Without hesitation I would recommend Joe Tye as a speaker for any event.  Our company contracted with Joe to speak at our Leadership Conference in Chicago. We had 100 of our national and state board leaders attend the conference.  Joe connected with our members instantly.  He took the time to align his message to our industry and that made an instance connection with our group. Our board chairman commented that he never buys into motivational speakers but afterwards he told Joe that he was so impressed with the presentation that he bought his books.  That is quite an endorsement.

We then contracted with Joe to present at our international conference in New Orleans.  Joe’s sessions were two of the most highly attended seminars and he was one of the highest rated speakers for our 3 day convention.  Our members loved his presentation.  We had several thousand people attend the convention and those that missed his presentation said they missed out.

I cannot say enough about Joe’s presentation style and his message.  Our members still use the pledge in their daily routines!  Joe will entertain your group, motivate your group and send them away with a renewed sense of purpose to make a positive impact on your business.  I wish we had Joe Tye on staff to start every day on a high positive note.

Joe touches on the heart of teamwork and in turn the heart of our business.  I give Joe Tye a five star rating!”

Jenni Venema, Director of Development, American Rental Association

 “Joe has been to Good Samaritan three times and each time we hear, “Bring Joe back.  We need more of this!”  Employees wrote to thank us for giving them the gift of hearing Joe.  We are seeing evidence of the ways that Joe’s message is transforming our culture.  The staff at our hospital returned from the Spark Plug and 12 Core Action Values training determined to put Joe’s message into practice.  They took to heart Joe’s message of, “Proceed Until Apprehended.”

The group has taken ownership to form a Steering Committee that meets weekly to plan the ways in which they could saturate the hospital with the Self-Empowerment Pledge.  Departments began reciting the Pledge together, choosing one Promise for each day.  They then began sharing with one another how these Promises had changed their attitudes, both at work and personally.  The Steering Committee also arranged for each Promise of the Self-Empowerment Pledge to be read daily over the hospital intercom following the Morning Prayer.  We are now rolling out the 12 Core Action Values to every department through our Department Service Excellence Representatives.  Rarely have we seen such excitement and engagement among our employees.  Our organization welcomes this leadership from our staff.”

Michael Schnieders, President/CEO, Good Samaritan Hospital

“I cannot thank Joe Tye and his team enough for all of their hard work prior to and at the NAPR & NALTO 2012 Annual Convention. Joe was even more of a hit than we had hoped — our expectations were met, and exceeded. His presentation was the perfect mix of a serious business based message and very engaging delivery. As one of the meeting planners of the Convention, I had plenty to worry about so it was nice to know Joe was well prepared and his team was available if I needed anything. The professionalism and efficiency of Joe and his team definitely made my life easier. I hope to have an opportunity to work with Joe and his team again in the future. This was truly an enjoyable experience.”

Jessie Laux, NAPR & NALTO Meeting Planner

“I’ve been working at Reading Hospital for more than 42 years, and you are one of the best (if not the best) motivational speaker I’ve ever had the pleasure of listening to.  You kept everyone’s attention from beginning to end! Thank you!”

Naomi Jasinski, Administrative Assistant to the Senior Vice Presidents, Reading Hospital
