A near-capacity audience attended the last LEAD Academy workshop for the year on Dec. 7. Dedicated to building leadership capabilities for emerging and veteran managers, LEAD is a six-session, 12-module workshop highlighting communication and conflict resolution skills as well as basic business and finance skills for the health care environment.

Session Six was led by Pamela Cunningham, a Six Sigma Black Belt. With an in-demand blend of technical skills and deep knowledge of the human side of high performance, Cunningham has conducted leadership training for clinical and non-clinical managers in private- and public-sector health care organizations.

Limited to 30 attendees per session, LEAD Academy has hosted more than 170 participants in its first year and will graduate 38 with a Certificate in Health Care Leadership at a special ceremony in the spring.

The popular workshops will return to Los Angeles in 2013 on Mar. 29, April 26, May 24, June 28, July 12, and Aug. 16.  Register online for single sessions or all six for the certificate. Each full-day session is $250 and includes two modules, all workshop materials and lunch. Visit http://bit.ly/VNhmAC or contact Karen Ochoa, (213) 538-0765, kochoa@hasc.org for more information.
