"Thank you for leading us through such a wonderful leadership session for leaders at the University of Alberta Hospital and Stollery Children's Hospital, on September 16, 2006 at the Petroleum Club in Edmonton. The day was a great success and we appreciate your willingness to come back home to where it all began, to facilitate learning and discussion about leadership with the medical and administrative team from our site. It is very useful to have this framework in continuing dialogue as we navigate change at our hospitals. It was terrific to have this time set aside to focus on topics like responsibility for choices, commitment, growth, energizing and mobilizing. We wish you all the best Jim, and look forward to hearing more from you in the future."
