C3 ALIGNMENT GROUP'S UNIQUE APPROACH
Coaching
Executive coaching is an important implement in the modern leader's toolkit. Coaching services incorporate both Individual and team-based focus. My approach is to partner with each of my clients in order to help them achieve their personal and professional goals. As a coach, I am committed to being an empathetic thought partner with a curious mindset that allows and encourages the exploration of what is possible for my clients. I will provide a safe and creative space that allows my clients to personally and professionally develop at their own pace and in their own way.
Culture
Culture is the lens through which an organizational vision is achieved. Through strategic planning, I assist organizations in thinking about where they want to be and develop a roadmap to achieve their goals. In culturally focused coaching, we concentrate on cultural competence and establishing a code of conduct. In the process of achieving a successful organizational culture, we will create a philosophy on how to engage in day-to-day operations in the environment which staff engage with each other.
Consulting
As a seasoned multi-specialty Healthcare Administrator, I provide consulting expertise in new business development, financial and revenue cycle operations, physician/hospital contract negotiations, provider recruitment, compensation plan development, and human capital management. Client consultations are supported with a focus on provider, staff, and patient experience along with efficient infrastructure design.
