What Our Customers Have to Say
I have taken two course Colorado Healthcare Training and Consulting to prepare for licensure and operating a new home care business. In my prior career I designed and delivered dozens of courses to thousands of employees. I’ve been recognized as a subject matter expert in world class training design and facilitation by the several US Government agencies. In light of my experience, my standards and expectations are quite high when I attend training. Connie McWilliams is a talented and gifted instructor and facilitator. She has the ability to take dry, legalese material and bring it to life in the classroom. She combines her expert knowledge of state regulations and business management with real-life stories and examples that make it easy for participants to grasp the essentials and feel some confidence moving forward. Her practical, sound advice on how to prepare policy and procedures and support documentation for the initial licensing evaluation visit by the Colorado Health Department made my licensing evaluation a smooth, effortless event. I received zero deficiencies and several compliments from the examiner. I would recommend Connie and her company to anyone seeking consultation or training in Colorado healthcare without reservation!”

Janell Peterson M.Ed., SPHR, SHRM-SCP
offers 30 years of HR experience to enhance recruitment & retention while assuring records are compliant. Janell represents the intersection of Hospitality and Healthcare and the two industries’ common issues of Service, Quality and Human Resources. Within the context of providing high quality outcomes, home health managers are working hard to solve the challenging and interrelated problem of how to improve employee retention. Given the relatively low salaries for workers in healthcare and hospitality, she sees recognition for a job well done as a key incentive. Culture and customer service are measured each day, rather than waiting for an annual or even quarterly review. Employees need to feel that they have power to achieve goals and that they are listened to…. they need to feel that they are part of an aligned team at work.
