MORNING LEADERSHIP WORKSHOP

The Inner Edge: Closing the Gap Between Leadership Potential
and Performance

Wednesday, October 14  |  9:30 a.m. – 11:30 a.m.

Today’s healthcare leaders are more capable, and more challenged, than ever before. They are highly trained, deeply committed, and operating in increasingly complex, high-stakes environments. Yet even the most experienced leaders can find themselves inconsistent in how they show up under pressure — reacting instead of responding, losing clarity in critical moments, or struggling to sustain performance over time.

The challenge is not a lack of knowledge or capability. It’s the ability to consistently access that capability when it matters most.

In this highly interactive workshop, Laurie Baedke introduces "The Inner Edge," a practical, evidence-informed framework designed to help leaders strengthen self-awareness, regulate effectively under pressure, align decisions with purpose and priorities, and lead others with greater clarity and impact, without sacrificing well-being.

Participants will leave with a clear understanding of what drives performance inconsistency and, more importantly, a set of actionable tools to lead with greater composure, intention, and reliability in the moments that matter most.
