THIS PROGRAM IS ABOUT YOU.

YOU are the new thought leaders. YOU are the ones shifting the state of healthcare, bit by bit, to a better place.

But it’s not easy work. You are often alone and not well supported – until now.

Where do I go now?

You go to a place where:

Your mentors are passionate about helping you develop as an aligned leader in your personal and professional life.

You are surrounded by people who see growth as a lifelong process that leads to opportunities you never expected.

You discover what’s in your way and what to do about it.

You develop tangible leadership skills and strategies.

There’s more. More to give. More to learn. More to contribute. You just need to know the best path without wasting any time.

The good news is, we have a place like that for you…

This exclusive 6-month leadership program is held online once a year. 

June – December.

It is led by Sue Ludwig, NANT President and Founder and Chrysty Sturdivant, NANT Vice President.

I am approaching every aspect of my life more mindfully, including considering how I want to show up, as well as taking the time to reflect on the interaction/experience afterward. I am much more clear, since joining and participating in our group, in how alignment and attitude impact everything. This work is raising my consciousness professionally and personally; actually, because there is vulnerability and joy in every aspect of our lives. It feels really, really good to be here.
