Episode 021 - Leadership, Mentorship, & Self-Awareness | The Well-ISH Podcast

Описание: Derek and Anthony are joined by Laurie Baedke, executive coach, keynote speaker, author, healthcare leadership expert, and so much more.

Laurie has spent decades working with healthcare professionals, physician leaders, and executives across the country, helping them develop stronger leadership skills, build meaningful professional relationships, and create environments where individuals and teams can thrive.
