Healthcare Training and Keynote Speeches
Allison Partners draws on our firm's approach to speaking and training, having developed and delivered courses to more than 150 healthcare entities and conferences. In addition to working with emerging and established healthcare managers and leaders, we are especially committed to helping Designated Institutional Officials and Program Directors create innovative approaches to medical education for residents. Our healthcare practice leader and President and Founder, Allison Linney, has served on the faculty of the American Association for Physician Leadership since 2009 (read her AAPL bio).
The Allison Partners team is known for teaching leadership concepts in an accessible way, while giving participants opportunities to practice new skills and build meaningful action plans. We pride ourselves on delivering virtual experiences that audiences describe as just as meaningful as being in-person.
Healthcare organizations most often request the following topics, though we also enjoy developing new courses in partnership with clients, as well as more in-depth leadership programs that span multiple topics with a focus on cohort development, application between sessions, and follow-up coaching for participants:
- The Art of Being a Great Boss
- Choosing Balance and Leadership
- Facilitating Effective Meetings
- Resolving Conflict
- Setting Expectations and Giving Feedback
- Skills to Influence and Motivate Using the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator
We tailor every training experience to each client’s culture, priorities, and existing practices, incorporating their preferred frameworks, engagement survey results, personality assessments, performance review processes, and other leadership and team-development approaches — so the learning feels relevant, practical, and aligned with the organization.
In addition to training, we deliver engaging keynote addresses on a range of topics. Audiences appreciate our ability to explain complex concepts and offer practical next steps, all while making them laugh. We have also worked with clients to design conferences as dynamic, participant-centered experiences, rather than traditional, lecture-heavy presentations and panels.
We have presented across the healthcare spectrum, including public and private health systems, integrated delivery networks, major medical centers, and academic health systems. Our audiences have also included VA hospitals, government agencies, long-term care facilities, and physician groups, as well as organizations such as the American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, Charlottesville Free Clinic, Georgia Pharmacy Association, Kroger Pharmacy, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, Virginia Medical Group Management Association, Virginia Rural Health Resource Center, and The Women's Center based in Charlottesville, VA.
