About the Session

The gap between what your people deliver and what they’re capable of.

A working session for staffing executives and agency owners, built on the research behind the book and on two decades of running teams in this industry.

In a survey of more than 200 professionals, 92 percent said they believe they are capable of more than they are currently doing. That gap is not a motivation problem. It is a leadership problem, and it shows up in every agency in this room as turnover, quiet disengagement, and recruiters who plateau a year in and never climb back.This workshop gives leaders a way to see the difference between someone who has stopped caring and someone who has stopped believing they can. Those two look identical from a manager’s chair and they need opposite responses. Chris works through what separates them, what to say in each case, and how to build the kind of environment where people raise their own ceiling.
◆ Why This Room

Chris is not a consultant describing healthcare staffing from the outside. He is President and COO of Uniti Med and GQR Healthcare, competing for the same clinicians and the same clients as everyone in the audience. He also serves on the NATHO Board of Directors and becomes President of the association in May 2027. The examples come from the same market the room is working in.

What Attendees Take Away

Three things you can use Monday.

01Tell the difference between self-doubt and a genuine lack of ambition, and respond to each the way it actually needs.
02Identify where your own team has quietly accepted a ceiling, and what to change about how you lead into it.
03Build the conditions that keep good recruiters climbing instead of plateauing and leaving for the agency down the street.
The person coasting usually isn’t the person who stopped caring.
