Course Overview
Step Up to Leadership Programs for Nurse & Medical Leaders
The Challenge You’re Facing
The transition from clinical expert to team leader is one of the most challenging career shifts in healthcare. Research shows that 60% of new healthcare leaders receive no formal leadership training before their first management role (Cummings et al., 2021, Nursing Leadership).
You’re navigating competing demands: maintaining clinical credibility while developing people, shifting from peer to leader, and building psychological safety in high-pressure environments where lives are at stake.
Evidence-Based Leadership Development
For over a decade, FIREUP Coaching has specialised in supporting healthcare leaders through this critical transition. Our approach integrates three evidence-based frameworks:
- Thinking Preferences (HBDI®) Understanding your cognitive diversity through the Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument. This is a validated psychometric tool used by organisations worldwide. When leaders understand their thinking patterns, they improve decision-making quality and team communication (Herrmann International, 2019).
- Coaching Skills Development Research demonstrates that leaders with coaching capabilities increase team performance by 25% and significantly improve staff retention (Grant et al., 2017, Academy of Management Learning & Education).
- Emotional Intelligence & Psychological Safety High EQ in healthcare leaders correlates directly with reduced burnout, improved patient outcomes, and stronger team cohesion (Cummings et al., 2018, BMJ Open).

A little bit about HBDI
Whole Brain® Thinking, was developed by Ned Herrmann who first pioneered the study of the brain in the field of business while in charge of Management Education at General Electric Corporation’s world-class corporate university, Crotonville.
His first widely acclaimed book, ‘The Creative Brain’, traced the scientific and historical roots of his innovative Whole Brain® Thinking approach. In 1995, his ground breaking ‘The Whole Brain® Business Book’ (McGraw Hill) created a new benchmark in thinking styles research specifically as it applies to critical business areas such as leadership, productivity, sales and teamwork.
