Testimonials

"I have seen very few alternatives that can have a greater impact on the culture of an organization. Our Certified Values Coach Trainer group is incredibly fired up, and we are already hearing about amazing life changes people are making as a result of participating in the class. It's one of the best investments we've made in our people and in our organization."
Bradley D. Neet, President/CEO Mary Lanning Memorial HealthCare

"I have observed positive changes throughout the organization. The Values Coach message is one of rededication to our purpose on a personal and professional level and is understood by all. It is not a flavor of the month but is a daily reminder of purpose and how to turn every complaint into a blessing or a constructive suggestion. The Florence Prescription has spread like Texas wildflowers among our employees and the community."
Patsy Youngs, Chief Executive Officer, Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Kaufman

"Values Coach has been a valued resource for Tucson Medical Center… We've shared The Florence Prescription with more than 400 TMC employees – it's gotten rave reviews and I believe is helping us foster a culture where people take values more seriously, and take a greater sense of ownership for and pride in their work. And by guiding us in the process of crystallizing TMC's core values and the expectations created by those values, Values Coach has helped us lay a solid foundation for our future growth and development. We couldn't have done it without this support."
Judy Rich, President and CEO, Tucson Medical Center

"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

“The Twelve Core Action Values… has been one of the factors earning Griffin a place on Fortune magazine’s roster of America’s 100 best companies to work for each of the past five years.  But more important in my view has been the influence that our commitment to The Twelve Core Action Values has had on individual employees.  I’ve heard from many of our people who, as a result of this training, have made impressive personal changes.”
Patrick Charmel, President and CEO, Griffin Hospital and The Planetree Alliance

“When we shared The Twelve Core Action Values with our employees and medical staff members, the response was unanimous: ‘We need more of this!’ That’s why we’re now planning an intensive values initiative to train a core group of Spark Plugs to help us promote values-based leadership in our organization, and in our community. From Authenticity to Leadership, this is who we want to be.”
Sandy Haryasz, Chief Executive Officer, Page Hospital
