AAHPM Leadership Forum: Ignite
October 12, 2021 | 9am-3:30pm CT
AAHPM Ignite is live programming typically offered at the Annual Assembly, but took place virtually in 2021. Enjoy an engaging day with your peers and a stellar faculty to help up your leadership game.
These sessions will equip hospice and palliative care team leaders with an understanding and recognition of one's strengths and limitations as a leader and how to say "yes" in leadership conversations.
Ignite Schedule
9am - 12pm CT: Using StrengthsFinder Leadership Strategies to Increase the Performance of You and Your Team in Palliative Care and Hospice Settings
Christina Rowe, MSOL - The Collaborative LLC
Discover what makes you stand out using a strengths-based approach to create consistent and positive outcomes in everyday challenges. Strengths are the unique combination of talents, knowledge, and skills that every person possesses. You will complete a StrengthsFinder assessment which will help to identify personal strengths to focus on becoming a more effective leader. In this engaging 3-hour session, you will learn how to develop and leverage your strengths during common friction points as well as times of abnormally high stress like the past year. You will engage in large and small group discussions, self-reflection, and scenario-based activities to learn strategies and tactics for applying a strengths-based approach to individual and team challenges.

1pm - 3:30pm CT: More Paths to 'Yes' in Leadership Conversations

AAHPM's Leadership and Career Development Committee and Leadership Forum is excited to bring an Ignite session to a virtual platform. There are many nuanced skills in leadership. One of those skills is conversations to advocate for the needs of your program, your team or yourself. While we in hospice and palliative care (HPC) pride ourselves in the art of difficult communication, somehow the communication skills that bring us success with patients fall flat in the board room. In this session, we will identify the most common strengths found in HPC leaders and the strategies in leadership conversations that capitalize on those strengths. Successful phrases in leadership conversations will be discussed and then practiced. You will leave this session feeling ready, and maybe even excited, for the challenge of your next difficult leadership conversation to find the path to "Yes!"

"This is a tool I can use for my own teams. It's not expensive and so worth the time! I even plan to share this with my own supervisor. Really terrific session!"
"Focusing on strengths buoys the whole team - individual growth and development, expanding strengths to reach other areas, and utilizing others' strengths to bolster our own or to complement our own is a huge boon to consistently fostering positive outcomes for my team and our patients and families in palliative care."
"Understanding my strengths allows me to further develop and utilize them in my daily practice."
