Walter’s BOG cohort is the most well-structured FACHE prep I’ve experienced. He took my 16 years of healthcare experience and helped me translate it into the executive vocabulary the exam actually rewards. I earned FACHE with confidence, not just relief.
Walter’s leadership course was great. His passion for healthcare and educating the next generation of leaders was evident throughout. His focus on actionable lessons along with 1-on-1 mentorship was very valuable.
We know the value of strong leadership in building team engagement, productivity, innovation, and retention. The Dutch Mentor is a valuable partner as we continue on that journey.
Walter Dusseldorp started as a paramedic, became a flight instructor, and rose to senior healthcare executive. He built Pure Leadership Power™ from what actually moves careers and teams: clarity, accountability, and rhythm. He has guided healthcare leaders to their FACHE credential and developed many more — and he’s on the weekly session and the 1:1s himself.
