Congratulations to these Frontline Leadership graduates who were recognized on May 3rd for their successful course and project completion. Their dedication, commitment and openness to continued professional and personal leadership development will continue to make a difference to sustaining a healthy leadership culture at VCH.
The grads were from across VCH, ranging from the Sunshine Coast to Providence Health Care, Lions Gate Hospital, UBC, VGH and Richmond. And from various service areas including Diagnostic Imaging, Addictions Services, Community Care, Acute Care, Facilities.
Here’s what some grads had to say
“It turns out that addressing conflict is just like quitting smoking, the earlier the better!”
“Through knowledge-sharing we are engaged”
“This course has allowed me to make distinctions between being a leader who leads the staff in the right direction, and a person who is a friend or peer who has the authority to make a decision”
“Leadership is a continuous opportunity to learn”
“Everyone has the potential to change and grow given the right guidance and opportunities”
