    Joe’s most popular topic for hospital audiences covers essential characteristics for building a culture of ownership, including practical ideas for implementing these strategies in your organization, and real-world examples for each. We need to see opportunities where others see barriers.  We need to be cheerleaders when others are moaning doom-and-gloom.      

    Breakout | Educational | Motivational

    You will learn why having a culture of ownership is the only sustainable source of competitive advantage. Joe draws lessons from the legendary business leaders included in his book All Hands on Deck, as well as from contemporary success stories in business, healthcare, and the nonprofit world. Because getting the bus right is more important than getting the right people on the bus!

    Keynote OR Breakout | Educational | Motivational

    The collective self-talk, self-image, and emotional baggage of the people who work in your organization constitutes an invisible, but very real, ceiling on your performance potential.  In this entertaining and inspiring presentation, Joe shares practical tools and strategies to help your people break through the fears that are holding them back, stop making excuses and giving in to self-imposed limitations, and work toward becoming their meant-to-be best selves. Because the collective self-image and self-talk of your people forms an invisible ceiling on the performance of your organization.

    Breakout | Educational | Motivational

    Half-day or full-day leadership retreat to create a Cultural Blueprint for your Invisible Architecture of core values, organizational culture, and workplace attitude.  All participants receive a hardcopy of the Cultural Blueprinting Toolkit Workbook, the Culture Mapping Schematic Tool, and access to six one hour webinars on cultural blueprinting. For a more positive, productive and resilient organizational culture!

    One of your biggest challenges as a healthcare leader now and in years to come is going to be finding and keeping great talent. A recent study fromLeaders for Today reported that “hospitals face unprecedented turnover and attrition rates”. The crunch is coming and hospitals need to get ready. If you don’t have a great culture – a culture of ownership that inspires commitment and loyalty – that is going to be a serious challenge indeed. And a very expensive challenge. The cost of turnover can be 5% or more of a hospital’s total operating cost. In this informative, inspiring, and example-rich presentation Joe shares a proven model and essential strategies to recruit, inspire, and retain great talent.

    “We have a very high performing organization with metrics in the top quartile and decile nationally. In a short time with our team, Joe lighted a fire among our team of high performing leaders, renewing their focus on values and our culture. In a short time, he provided our team with a framework and tools that immediately impacted our organization’s unified focus on making every day the best day ever. Before Joe worked with us, our leaders already believed that our future looked amazing and bright, and our patients rated their experience excellent. Today our team also realizes that each day is a gift and an opportunity to be our best self as we make a difference in the lives of each other and our patients. Joe has so much to offer organizations regardless of where they are on the continuum of organizational excellence. I can’t thank him enough!”

    “Without hesitation I would recommend Joe Tye as a speaker for any event. Our company contracted with Joe to speak at our Leadership Conference in Chicago. We had 100 of our national and state board leaders attend the conference. Joe connected with our members instantly. He took the time to align his message to our industry and that made an instance connection with our group. Our board chairman commented that he never buys into motivational speakers but afterwards he told Joe that he was so impressed with the presentation that he bought his books. That is quite an endorsement. We then contracted with Joe to present at our international conference in New Orleans. Joe’s sessions were two of the most highly attended seminars and he was one of the highest rated speakers for our 3-day convention. Our members loved his presentation. We had several thousand people attend the convention and those that missed his presentation said they missed out. I cannot say enough about Joe’s presentation style and his message. Our members still use the pledge in their daily routines! Joe will entertain your group, motivate your group and send them away with a renewed sense of purpose to make a positive impact on your business. I wish we had Joe Tye on staff to start every day on a high positive note. Joe touches on the heart of teamwork and in turn the heart of our business. I give Joe Tye a five-star rating!”
