Vital Signs: THE KEYNOTE
A speaker for over 30 years, Jim brings the HEART Protocol of Vital Signs to life for your organization or association.
Vital Signs: A Protocol for Effective Leadership
In today’s complex healthcare landscape, clinical excellence alone is not enough. Physician leaders must balance the demands of patient care with the responsibility to inspire, engage, and sustain healthy teams. Too often, they are thrust into leadership roles without the tools to thrive beyond the OR or clinic. Jim Ice, coach, consultant, and organizational strategist, bridges that gap.
Drawing on decades of leadership experience, Jim presents a clear and compelling framework for diagnosing and treating organizational health: the HEART Protocol. More than a model, it’s a prescription for building resilient, high-performing teams and sustainable systems of care.
In this compelling keynote, attendees will discover:
How to apply the HEART Protocol to assess the critical systems of team health
Why recognizing both overt and hidden symptoms is key to preventing organizational breakdowns
How to establish baselines and early detection systems for leadership health
Strategies to triage immediate issues while also defining preventative care
The five determinants of organizational health—and the Vital Signs that reveal whether they’re thriving or at risk
How to build a culture where authenticity, resilience, accountability, and engagement become non-negotiable
Effective leadership isn’t about titles or credentials. It’s about recognizing the vital signs of both people and organizations—and having the courage to respond with clarity, compassion, and consistency. Jim shows leaders how to operate at the intersection of clinical skill and human connection, strategy and soul.
Whether guiding healthcare systems, consulting with executives, or coaching physicians, Jim’s mission is clear: help leaders be as effective outside the OR as they are within it.
Join him for an unforgettable keynote that will transform how you diagnose, treat, and sustain leadership health.
