With 30 + years of experience and extraordinary skills in communication, training design and delivery, Wendy is a dynamic, inspirational speaker with healthcare leaders, frontline staff and physicians.

She also founded the Einstein Consulting Group, nationally respected for helping more than 300 healthcare organizations execute strategies to achieve the quality patient experience, leadership effectiveness, and staff retention.

A communication fanatic, Wendy has written more than twelve books for health care, as well as toolkits, guides, instructional manuals, slide shows, and articles.

Also in 2008, HcPro published her book Physician Entrepeneurs: The Quality Patient Experience. With a gift for clear, concrete writing, Wendy makes important but uncommon skills explicit and accessible to the healthcare devotee.

With short, easy-to-run, video-based “skill-builders” and concrete follow-up and hardwiring tools, managers lead their teams. Designed for intranet installation and convenient online access 24/7.

She has provided training to our top leaders and has prepared trainers to train our staff. Soon, we will have trained 1600 of our employees.

Her training materials are outstanding and we just purchased part 2 in her Care with Compassion series, "Dealing with Difficult Situations." There's no one I would rate more highly than Wendy when it comes to supporting sustainable culture change in organizations."
