Speaking Testimonials
“Lake Pointe Medical Center A-Team and Directors gained valuable insight about themselves and each other during our offsite workshop with Brent O’Bannon. His “Leading in the Strength Zone” helped us discover our top 5 strengths and improve our leadership abilities by capitalizing on those strengths. Especially helpful were the coaching insights on using strengths to build trust, compassion and stability with team members. An added bonus was his experience applying strengths to personal development. All of this will help us be better leaders and provide a better environment in which to care for our patients.”
Carolyn Jackson
Chief Executive Officer
Lake Pointe Medical Center
