Woven Care is changing lives, one child at a time. Woven Care is serious about this vision. They have served Colorado children and families with high quality pediatric therapy for over 15 years. In their 10+ clinics, Woven Care meets every child where they are, offering comprehensive and coordinated pediatric care and therapy services. Woven Care came to Leadwell because they sought to pour into their clinic leaders - just as they pour into the children and families they serve. They have a bold growth plan and need leaders with the skills to grow the company.
Woven Care partnered with Leadwell to develop the management skills and capacities of their clinical managers. These leaders are trained and accomplished therapists, who have been promoted into team leadership positions. They bring expertise to the patients they continue to serve. Woven Care saw an opportunity to invest in their professional development as managers of large teams of people.
The Leadwell Accelerator is a research-based leadership development curriculum that empowers cohorts of leaders to immediately put management tools and frameworks into practice with their teams. Leadwell adapted this comprehensive curriculum into a three-day workshop experience - plus a two-hour virtual session - for Woven Care managers. Leadwell Accelerator Day One grounded the cohort in leading with purpose, strengths, and equity. 100% of participants strongly agreed/agreed that the workshop gave them useful ideas and tools to improve in their jobs. Day Two focused on effective feedback and inclusive team culture. 100% of participants strongly agreed/agreed that the workshop was a valuable use of their time. One manager shared: “This program was simply amazing. It provided hands-on and directly applicable strategies for my everyday interactions with my team. I am leaving today with more confidence and optimism with my abilities and potential growth in leadership positions.” The theme of Day Three was motivating and empowering staff. Not only did 100% of participants again strongly agree/agree that the workshop gave them useful ideas and tools to improve in their jobs. 100% also strongly agreed/agreed that the workshop created space to build relationship with peers.
There is something special about the culture of Woven Care. During each workshop day, there was tremendous joy in the room. During breaks in the content, the cohort enjoyed fresh air together, shared family photos, and laughed together. Each Woven Care clinic leader entered this experience with unique strengths and expertise. They entered this experience with deep and authentic relationships with one another. Through the Leadwell Accelerator, this community of leaders added concrete management frameworks to their daily practices. One manager shared: “This workshop has made a huge impact on my professional journey. It has helped me learn so much about myself as a leader and how I can support my team. I would recommend [the Leadwell Accelerator] to anyone who is looking to expand their knowledge on leadership and self-awareness in the workplace.” As Woven Care continues to grow and serve more Colorado families, their clinic leaders are well-positioned to support their teams to meet big goals and to thrive.
