Develop leaders people want to follow.
Custom leadership trainings built on Maxwell Leadership principles and the Maxwell DISC Method, delivered by a leader who has lived it in healthcare and corporate settings.
Your people are your strategy. Are they being led well?
Organizations promote their best performers and hope they figure out leadership on the fly. The result is burnout, miscommunication, turnover, and teams that never reach their potential.
Heart & Backbone trainings give your leaders a shared language, practical tools, and the confidence to lead people through real pressure.
- Stronger communication and fewer conflicts across teams
- Managers who develop performance, give feedback, and build trust
- Higher engagement and retention, lower burnout
- A leadership pipeline you can grow from within

Candy with Heart and Backbone Leadership did such an incredible job presenting Maxwell DISC to my team. She was kind, thorough and informative. We learned some great information on communication and connection that was really helpful for sales. I would recommend Heart and Backbone to anyone who is looking to grow their confidence and self-awareness for greater success.
Candy is incredible! She did a lunch and learn with our team and everyone was very impressed. I am looking forward to continuing to work with her! I can tell how passionate she is about her work and she cares so much about people and helping them reach their next level.
