Resonate Leadership Lab Announces Partnership with CURE International and Missions Development International to Strengthen Global Medical Leadership

Resonate Leadership Lab is proud to announce a new partnership with Missions Development International (MDI) and CURE International (CURE) to support CURE medical directors and staff throughout the world in building leadership capabilities.

CURE is a Christian nonprofit organization that operates a global network of eight charitable pediatric hospitals around the world. Since its inception in 1998, the organization has completed more than 5.3 million patient visits and performed 330,000 life-changing surgeries for children in Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Niger, the Philippines, Uganda, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Because of the generosity of CURE donors, exceptional services are rendered at no cost to patients.

Emily Gratson, Director of People Acquisition and Success at CURE, expressed the organization’s dedication to empowering its diverse teams across different countries and cultures. “Given the dynamic and often challenging environments in which we operate, it is crucial that we equip our teams with the necessary tools to thrive,” she said. “We are delighted to welcome MDI and 1821Health on board to provide active mentoring and a robust development framework, enabling our physicians and staff members to lead from within and excel in their daily work.”

Founded by Dr. Rusty Holman, Resonate Leadership Lab works with healthcare companies to provide inclusive, evidence-based leadership development programs designed for every level of the healthcare workforce. In partnership with MDI mentors, Resonate will specifically empower CURE medical directors in their roles so that they can create effective teams and drive superior outcomes. The engagement will focus on strengthening skills such as building teamwork, conflict resolution, managing performance, running successful meetings, leading change, effective communication, and more.

Holman emphasized the importance of cultivating a great culture within healthcare organizations and recognized the specific challenges faced by medical directors. “While physicians have exceptional clinical abilities through years of study and practice, they are often faced with fulfilling their leadership roles without effective training,” he explained. “This is a prevalent industry-wide challenge, and it becomes even more complex when working with international teams and diverse populations. We are thrilled to make a profound impact and assist CURE in fulfilling their noble mission.”

Shalyn Eyer, Director of Mentoring at MDI, highlighted the experience and passion of their mentors, who have dedicated their careers to building successful companies. “Now, they are eager to share their expertise with Christian ministries engaged in life-changing work around the world,” Eyer shared. “We look forward to building productive relationships with 1821Health and CURE’s remarkable staff.”
