Lead With Purpose with Lisa!

How has your leadership journey inspired you or others so far? - "Highlighting the value of the association’s programming. So glad I attended the recent LAMP 101 course in Columbus, OH! Over the two-day session, I picked up several practical tools, but the lesson on time management has been a total win for my current role. Learning to prioritize "important/not urgent" tasks when my focus is highest (first thing in the morning) has completely changed my daily workflow. If you’re looking to level up your leadership game, don't miss the next session!" - Lisa Kohler, DPT, COS-C

Lead With Purpose with Diane!

"Taking LAMP 101 with coworkers was an excellent opportunity to find accountability partners in establishing our own personal missions while looking at how we can align them to improve the team mindset. LAMP gave guidance on defining strengths and areas needing growth to create harmony within ourselves and our teams through identifying personality types, communication, trust building, and conflict management." - Diane Fleming, PT, DPT, GCS

Lead With Purpose with Erin!

"LAMP Leadership changed the way I think about communication. LAMP helped me become far more intentional: pausing to ask myself what I want a conversation to accomplish, what the other person needs, and how to frame my message in a way that builds trust rather than just transmits information. It also deepened my appreciation for listening as a leadership tool. I learned that the most influential leaders aren't necessarily the loudest voices in the room — they're the ones who create space for others to be heard. That's shaped how I lead teams, how I handle conflict, and how I approach any high-stakes communication." - Erin Hofmeyer, PT, DPT, GCS
