What it means to SixSEED?

Our name, SixSeed, is a phonetic of “succeed.” By “planting seeds” for each client, they are able to successfully develop on their own and ultimately “sprout, grow and thrive.” Our developmental services include assessments, workshops and coaching within each of our 6 service lines or seeds.

What is a SEED?

We address each client’s specific needs within our 6 service lines, or “seeds” to identify which package of seeds to include in their approach.

Leadership Development

Imagine what could be possible if all of those leading others in your organization had capability for new ways of thinking and acting to navigate today’s complexity. We provide custom assessments and coaching engagements delivered by expert leaders, credentialed coaches and healthcare execs designed for:

  • Physician and nurse leaders
  • Clinical, research, and academic leaders
  • Executives and emerging executives
  • Technology leaders

You achieve measurable results through executive coaching and mentoring using validated assessment tools and pre- and post-measurement for leadership competencies, including:

  • Executive presence and influence
  • Emotional intelligence
  • Conflict and Communication
  • Leading change
  • Leading teams

COACHING | ASSESSMENTS | WORKSHOPS

We apply time-tested techniques in a practical way that helps busy leaders grow skills and succeed in getting sustainable results.

System Integration

In healthcare’s changing landscape, systems are reorganizing and often merging in order to successfully continue serving their communities. Are you experiencing challenges related to:

  • System Reorganization
  • Alignment of Multi-hospital system
  • Mergers and acquisitions

How can you honor and respect the best of each system while also forming a new identity and integrated system?

We partner with you using evidence-based assessments and collaborative consulting to measure system dynamics and achieve sustainable results focused on leveraging:

  • Internal and external tensions
  • Regional decision-making with a system lens
  • Being consistent while adapting and innovating
  • Financial objective and mission goals
  • System and individual wellbeing

ORGANIZATIONAL CONSULTING | ASSESSMENTS | WORKSHOPS

We guide a structured process that pragmatically transforms systems to operationally integrate while strategically succeeding in complexity.

Team Development

Picture your work and project teams being energized in meetings and working together more effectively. What if “silos” in your organization begin to work well collaboratively using their individual and collective strengths?

We provide team assessments and custom workshops to achieve measurable performance results focused on:

  • Leveraging multiple perspectives and differences
  • Effective and energizing team meetings
  • Interprofessional collaboration
  • Awareness of system integration

 TEAM COACHING | ASSESSMENTS | WORKSHOPS

We facilitate validated methodologies in experiential processes helping busy teams learn and apply new skills in real-time applications.

Leadership Ecosystem Capacitation

This Leadership Ecosystem Capacitation (LEC) Model provides our differentiating framework for how we partner with you to increase the capacity of your leadership – at the individual, team, and system levels – to deepen the organization’s strategic, operational, and cultural capacity in a sustainable way.

Culture

Does your culture support your strategy? How do you know? How do your people create new ways of behaving and operating together? How do you continuously improve and measure their progress?

We partner with you on the “how” by using concrete, actionable, and measurable ways.

Our clients are clinical and technical experts who recognize that to succeed – individually and collectively – they also need to focus on culture as a key strategy in achieving their system’s strategic results.

We use comprehensive, healthcare-specific approaches to identify your culture’s current state and support you developing the new internal operating system needed to attain your strategic and long-term results, including:

  • Workforce Engagement
  • Attracting and Retaining Top Talent
  • Creative and Adaptive Thinking Environments
  • Brand and Reputation Management

We support you to authentically live your values to deliver on your organization’s brand and mission.

Well-Being

Data shows increasing rates of burnout and chronic illnesses in those who are providing care to others, leading to poor patient care and quality outcomes. The result is poor health for all. Well-Being is not just the lack of these conditions and getting to neutral. As Dr. Travis’ illness-wellness continuum shares, Well-Being is the mindset and competencies to define one’s healthy outcomes needed to feel energized, resilient, engaged and purposeful.

We partner with you using leading-edge assessments, leadership and health & wellness coaching to bring out the creator in your own Well-Being, focusing on:

  • Resilience
  • Reducing Burnout & Stress Management
  • Increasing Engagement
  • Leading Oneself Well

Learn More About Leadership
I see our leaders working with more confidence, while simultaneously trying to stretch themselves. I think the investment in their skills and futures has also bonded to the organization as I see positivity in areas not seen before. They are getting above the “in the weeds” work and contemplating how to work better through, not around, people.
CEO,
WSPH

You and your team take the time needed and make great effort to know your clients. To understand us is to more effectively be able to help us. You teach us new ways to problem-think and problem-solve.Exec VP, Service Lines, WSPH

My interactions with others have become more purposeful, more focused on the gaps between our current work and the outcomes that we are targeting to accomplish. We have seen improvements in several metrics and on team functioning to benefit the purpose of our work together through the organization.

CEO, Winchester Medical Center
From my perspective, this engagement was well worth the investment. I’ve seen a sustainable, positive change in our leader’s executive presence and ability to collaborate and engage others. I also felt support from you, in addition to your working with our leader.

CNO, UMMC
We knew culture was important in building a great company. We also knew that we needed proven methods to measure and manage culture – a solid approach that would justify the investment of time and dollars which are so precious in a startup. We turned to SixSEED based on their experience and success using evidence-based approaches. They partnered with us to develop and deliver a multifaceted culture building approach that was embraced at all levels of our company and has paid real dividends in terms of satisfaction and performance.
Chief Medical Officer, Datica
I found the coaching to be real and practical. I trusted that if I put in the effort and was open, I would emerge as a stronger leader and better human being. On a real physical level, I would often experience nausea in my gut, and that has totally disappeared. I also appreciated my ability to scale leadership and integrate my direct reports in the learning. I’ve enjoyed cascading responsibility to them and engaging them in coaching conversations that inspire them to greater capacity.
Senior VP, Nursing and Operations, UMMC
