The interactive 2018 INPE Leadership Academy programs offer 12 contact hours of evidence-based, expert-guided content designed to promote leadership growth, regardless of your career stage.  Great leaders are not born; those willing to accept the challenge to lead can learn the values and strategies to promote success.  

Future events may be opened; attendance is usually limited to the first 20 registrants, to allow for an intense and interactive experience. To achieve the objectives, we will explore the literature on leadership from the perspective of traditional authors with emphasis on more contemporary ones (e.g. Sinek, Godin, Grant, Pink); discuss the challenges associated with leadership; identify characteristics, strategies, and resources that promote leadership success; and impart skills and tools to set attendees on a trajectory towards professional leadership. The conference provides a call to action and will help you plan a path forward for progressive leadership activities.

Who is this program for?  This content is tailored for NPs at all career stages.  Other nurses may attend, although INPE is accredeted as an AANP Approved Provider. Non-NPs should feel to contact Dr. Goolsby using the Contact INPE form on the lower left menu of this site.

What will attendees get out of the meeting?  Beyond the actual content, attendees will enjoy a unique opportunity to participate in a facilitated process through which they will identify their leadership interests and strategies to help them achieve their specific goals.  The interactive discussions will promote networking with other attendees and the faculty, with follow-up opportunities beyond the meeting.

Where do I ask questions?  If you have questions about the program or registration, feel free to contact Dr. Mary Jo Goolsby by email (preferred) or phone.  Contact information is provided on INPE's website (npexcellence.com).
