Leadership Forward: Building Stronger LTC Leaders
Today’s long-term care leaders face increasing demands, staffing challenges, and emotional strain — making strong, people-centered leadership more essential than ever. This leadership training is designed specifically for LTC Department Heads who want to strengthen their personal effectiveness, elevate team engagement, and build a culture rooted in trust, accountability, and connection.
This program facilitated by Spencer Morris, LNHA focuses on the core skills of emotional intelligence (EQ), communication, connection, and everyday leadership.

The 1-day course will allow leaders to gain strategies they can immediately apply within their teams.

- Personal Effectiveness & Emotional Intelligence: Building self-awareness, managing stress responses, and aligning actions with values to lead with clarity and confidence.

- Inspiring Engagement: Reframing leadership as influence, fostering ownership, and moving teams beyond compliance to true engagement.
