 BUILD HIGH-PERFORMANCE HEALTHCARE TEAMS THAT
PEOPLE LOVE TO BE ON.


Have you ever been on a team that you loved?
And have you ever been on a team that made it hard to go to work?


If you have, you know how important your team culture is, and if you
work in healthcare, you know how challenging this has become.

  

A Safe Space is the most effective way to turn depleted, disrespectful, and dysfunctional cultures into a team
people love to be on—and you love to lead!

What will happen to your team if this doesn't change?

Can You Relate?

WORK OVERLOAD: 49% of nurses (mixed with clinical leaders) say they will leave in the next five years, citing burnout and stress.

TURNOVER: There has been a +219.8% increase in job vacancies in the last five years, according to the Stas Can 2022 Labour Force Survey.

LONG WORK HOURS: 60% across all practice areas (nursing, physician, etc.) plan to leave in the next five years, citing overwork.

STAFF SHORTAGES: 2023 research cites 56% of nurses are burned out; 41% say they're leaving; an 46% say they're overworked.

TOO LITTLE PATIENT-PROVIDER TIME: 83% of nurses worry about their quality of care and if they're doing the right things.

ORGANIZATIONAL PROBLEMS: Poor organizational structure, leadership absenteeism, and 'out-of-touch' managers is chronic.

 

It's wrong to put leaders and teams in a situation where they feel they need to sacrifice themselves or each other to do their jobs. 

 

We need a new presence-based and team-based leadership approach.

Hi, I'm Trace Hobson

If you’re a healthcare executive, clinical leader or manager
who works with distressed teams that are struggling or
someone who simply wants to learn how to weather the
storms of busy, short-staffed healthcare teams, I can help.

As a former executive leader who specialized in high-stress,
high-pressure, high-risk teams and cultures, I learned how to
create a safe space in the middle of urgent chaotic situations and
then I learned how to pass that on to others for their professional and personal well-being.
In the past few years, I’ve been able to…

    • Train and coach teams and executives in Holland, India, Europe, the US and Canada.
    • Create and test the Safe Space Systemic Team Coaching & Leadership approach.
    • Validate its efficacy with healthcare teams under pressure and in distress.
    • Stay present for my marriage, 3 adult daughters and grandchildren.
    • Host the Safe Space Made Simple Podcast for healthcare teams. 

 

I haven’t achieved these highlights due to any special ability. 

I followed a system that nourished my human spirit,
along with my team's and my family's.

Here are three workshops your team needs to create a psychologically safe space:

 

1: The Safe Space Team Container

Are you and your team clear on what you need and want? If you and your team can't develop, articulate and share openly what you/they want and need, it's because you/they don't have a Safe Space Container. This is foundational for psychological safety, mutual respect well-being and relational equity.

3: Primary Purpose

Is everyone on your team congruent and acting in their and your patient's best interests? The number one source of burnout for an individual is being out of alignment with their values and ignoring them. The number one source of team drama and dysfunction is being out of touch with the team's Primary Purpose. Unite your team around the one thing that transcends difficult personalities and unifies your team.
