Insight from The Dutch Mentor…
You deserve a coach who understands what you’re going through and can show you how to shift gears.
For me, this work is deeply personal. As a Senior Health Executive who led a team of 2,200 employees, I understand firsthand the pressure of leading a team. However, despite being a technically skilled medical professional, I struggled to find the support I needed to lead my team effectively. What little leadership training was available couldn’t adequately. develop the behaviors and habits I needed to drive better performance and outcomes. That’s why it has become my mission to help prospective leaders in the healthcare industry succeed. Whether you want career growth, stronger leadership abilities, or to build organizational success, I can help you become a Highly Effective Leader.
Through purpose and strategy, we will bridge the gap between your technical skills and leadership development together.
Are you ready to take action? - You know you are.

I recently attended Walter Dusseldorp's "Four Responsibilities of a Leader" workshop, and it was truly transformative. The emphasis on the importance of love in leadership was a refreshing perspective, challenging traditional notions of authority. The principle of "Use the power of focus" provided practical strategies for goal achievement, crucial in today's fast-paced business environment.

Why you should invest in Leadership Development
The return on investment (ROI) for leadership development can be demonstrated through various metrics and studies.
Companies with strong leadership consistently outperform their competitors and achieve higher profitability.
We focus on solving problems around metrics that matter
In the rapidly evolving world of healthcare, specific metrics play a crucial role in evaluating the effectiveness and efficiency of care delivery, patient outcomes, and organizational performance. Here are the top 10 metrics that matter most in healthcare today:
Patient Satisfaction: Measures the overall experience and satisfaction of patients with their healthcare services, including communication, wait times, and quality of care.
Clinical Outcomes: Assesses the quality and effectiveness of care by measuring key health outcomes such as mortality rates, complication rates, and recovery times.
Readmission Rates: Tracks the frequency of patients returning to the hospital within a certain timeframe after discharge, which can indicate the quality of care and follow-up.
Length of Stay: Measures the average time patients spend in a hospital or healthcare facility, which can reflect the efficiency of care and resource utilization.
Healthcare-Associated Infection (HAI) Rates: Monitors the incidence of infections acquired in healthcare settings, which is an important indicator of patient safety and quality.
Patient Safety Incidents: Tracks the occurrence of medical errors, adverse events, and near misses to improve safety and minimize harm.
Cost Per Patient Encounter: Analyzes the cost of providing care per patient encounter, helping to assess financial performance and efficiency.
Employee Engagement and Turnover: Measures staff satisfaction, engagement, and turnover rates, which impact the quality of care and patient outcomes.
Population Health Metrics: Evaluates the health outcomes of specific populations, focusing on preventive care, chronic disease management, and overall well-being.
Access to Care: Assesses patients' ability to receive timely and appropriate care, including appointment availability and geographic accessibility.
These metrics provide valuable insights into healthcare organizations' performance and help guide improvements in patient care, safety, and operational efficiency.
1. Increased Employee Engagement:
Leadership development programs have been shown to increase employee engagement. Engaged employees are more likely to be productive, innovative, and committed to the organization's goals, resulting in higher overall performance and ROI.
2. Improved Employee Retention:
Leadership development can contribute to higher employee retention rates. When leaders are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively lead their teams, they can create a positive work environment that attracts and retains top talent.
3. Enhanced Performance and Productivity:
Effective leaders have a direct impact on team performance and productivity. Leadership development programs help leaders develop the skills needed to motivate and inspire their teams, leading to improved outcomes and increased efficiency.
4. Succession Planning and Talent Development:
Investing in leadership development ensures a pipeline of capable leaders for future positions. By developing leadership skills within the organization, companies can reduce the costs associated with external hires and maintain a strong leadership team.
5. Innovation and Adaptability:
Leadership development programs often focus on fostering creativity, innovation, and adaptability. Developing leaders who can think strategically and drive innovation can give organizations a competitive edge and contribute to long-term success.
6. Financial Performance:
Several studies have shown a positive correlation between effective leadership and financial performance.

Ways We Are Going To Take Action And Make Progress Happen
It was not by chance that I created PURE LEADERSHIP POWER™.
It was by choice.
I spent years seeing and hearing how people fall into the same trap:
a lack of confidence
imposter syndrome
over-controlling ways
feelings of failure
returning to school as an attempt to reclaim power and one-up their skills through a degree.
So many people think that the solution to bad leadership is a degree… until we have a chat.
Advancing in your career, or improving it, is not always about more education.
It’s about growing as a person, embarking on a journey to self-development and self-awareness, and gaining pure leadership abilities from within, first.
It all starts with you.

What healthcare professionals are saying
“Investing your time and energy into personal and professional development opportunities, like the Pure Leadership Program, will lead to a huge ROI. You’ll be more equipped and prepared to pursue your dream career path. As an introvert and early careerist that is experiencing some impostor syndrome, I am glad that I pushed myself out of my comfort zone and participated…”
Danica Cordon, MHA, Decision Support Analyst, RWJBarnabas Health Medical Group
“If you are chosen for this amazing opportunity, you MUST do it. This has been one of the most rewarding programs I have ever experienced. As a new supervisor in a department I had no experience in, I was nervous and lacked the confidence within myself to lead my staff. Through this program, I was able to identify my strengths and weaknesses, identify the areas where I needed the most help and work through those areas with Walter during my one-to-one sessions and during class discussions. Every day I apply what I have learned from the class into not only my professional life, but my personal life as well. If I could take this class again, I would absolutely do so. Thank you, Walter and the rest of my class, for sharing your experiences, and your time to help me grow and be a better, more confident leader.”
Candice Ramey, Supervisor Communications, Northwell Health System, Phelps Memorial Hospital
“Walter’s approach, tools, evaluations, feedback and understanding of the differing needs of leaders provide a bastion of resources and support for healthcare professionals seeking growth and to lead within their organization. I strongly recommend coaching with Walter for healthcare professionals, at all levels of career growth, seeking to develop their leadership abilities, build organizational success, to meaningfully continue their work, and to those they lead.”
