Valerie Reese, M.Ed., Vice-President of Population Health at University Hospitals, will share with us a message of how living and leading with love has helped a complex healthcare organization transform the way care is delivered in Northeast Ohio. Ms. Reese has 20+ years of transformational leadership experience and will share her personal journey of applying the concepts of Believe, Belong, and Build to the way she has led her teams to transform care delivery systems.
Healthcare harms too often, costs too much, and slowly learns and improves. With so much innovation, effort, and investment, why are we not seeing things change? To improve ourselves and our communities, we need a new way to solve its problems. We believe it is love. We are missing the feeling that we are all connected to one another, a sense of oneness, and a connection to something bigger.
Simply put, we are missing love. It’s clear that, in many instances, love is absent in our current way of problem-solving. The Leading with Love framework is summed up in three simple concepts – Believe, Belong, and Build.
This framework can be applied to parenting, teaching, community organizations, and personal relationships. In addition to discussing healthcare, Ms. Reese will share with the Knights of Columbus, how they can lead with love in their organization. Her message aligns with Knights of Columbus values of charity/service, unity of faith, and brotherhood.
Ms. Reese will give her talk at St. Clement’s Church in Lakewood on October 8th at 7:00 pm. Parishioners in the Lakewood community from St. James, St. Luke’s, and St. Clement’s, along with their family and friends are welcome to attend. We invite you to join us and learn more.
