Stephen Tweed not only understands home care, but also has the entrepreneurial spirit and expertise to help agency decision-makers grow their business. By acutely listening to the challenges the participants are facing, Stephen was able to help them identify new and improved opportunities and motivated them to develop implementable action steps to reach their goals. This program exceeded my expectations in its collaborative design as attendees generously shared their ideas and supported one another in finding solutions to their current barriers.
