ON THE CALENDER
The Workplace Has Changed, Leading Multi Generations
Session Description:
Leading multi-generational healthcare teams requires more than adapting to different work styles, it demands intentional listening. When leaders create space for every voice to be heard and valued, they reduce disengagement, strengthen trust, and combat burnout. This session explores how listening becomes a strategic leadership tool to unify diverse teams and improve both team well-being and patient outcomes.
Learning Objectives:
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Identify key differences in values, communication styles, and expectations across generations in healthcare teams.
- Apply practical listening strategies that increase engagement and help reduce burnout among team members.
- Develop approaches to create an environment where all generations feel heard, valued, and motivated to contribute.

What to Expect in a Private Equity Transaction: From Preparation to Post-Close
Session Description:
Private equity transactions follow a structured — and often intense — process that unfolds in distinct stages. For healthcare practice owners in particular, understanding how these deals progress before going to market, during the sale process, and after closing is critical to achieving a successful outcome.
This session walks through what a private equity transaction actually looks like at each phase. We will cover the financial preparation required before launching a process, what typically happens during diligence and negotiation, and what life looks like after the deal closes. Participants will gain insight into common surprises, shifting negotiation dynamics, and how private equity deals in healthcare practices typically play out in the real world — not just on paper.
The goal is to demystify the private equity process so owners can prepare strategically, manage expectations, and enter a transaction informed and confident.
Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this session, participants will be able to:
- Understand the three major phases of a private equity transaction: pre-market preparation, sale process, and post-close transition.
- Identify the financial preparation and review required before engaging private equity buyers.
- Recognize the negotiation dynamics and diligence demands that emerge during the sale process.
- Anticipate common surprises and pitfalls that can impact valuation or deal certainty.
- Understand how private equity transactions typically unfold in healthcare practices and what sellers should realistically expect after closing.
