Leadership, Healthcare, and Education Systems Reimagined
Your insight-driven partner for your organization's complex challenges
About Green Chair Group
Green Chair Group is a professional development firm dedicated to strengthening the people who strengthen our communities. We partner with healthcare systems, hospitals, schools, and educational institutions to build resilient, effective leaders and teams capable of thriving in demanding environments.
Founded by CEO, Researcher, Educator Dr. Patti O'Brien-Richardson, Green Chair Group was born from a deep understanding that the challenges facing healthcare and education professionals today require more than surface-level solutions. We bring evidence-based strategies, real-world experience, and a commitment to sustainable change.
What We Do
We specialize in professional development that addresses the complex realities facing today's healthcare and education leaders:
Burnout Prevention & Resilience Building
We help organizations move beyond wellness programs that oversimplify complexity. Our approach equips professionals with practical strategies to sustain their effectiveness and well-being in high-stress environments, without diminishing the genuine challenges they face.
Retention & Organizational Culture
When talented professionals leave, organizations lose expertise, continuity, and morale. We work with systems to identify and address the root causes of turnover, creating cultures where people want to stay and can do their best work.
Equity-Centered Systems Change
Well-intentioned systems can unintentionally undermine equity, well-being, or performance. We help organizations examine their practices, policies, and structures to ensure they support, rather than hinder, the success of all team members.
Social-Emotional Wellness in Context
Healthcare and education professionals carry enormous emotional weight. We support organizations in building cultures of social-emotional wellness that honor this reality without resorting to superficial fixes or placing the burden solely on individuals.
Who We Serve
- Healthcare Systems & Hospitals – Physician groups, nursing leadership, administrative teams, and multi-disciplinary care teams
- K-12 Schools & Districts – Teachers, administrators, support staff, and district leadership
- Higher Education – Faculty, student services, and academic leadership
Our Approach
We don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Every engagement begins with listening: understanding your specific challenges, constraints, and goals.
From there, we design customized programs that combine:
- Evidence-based strategies based on the latest research, leadership development, and wellness research
- Interactive workshops and training that provide immediately actionable tools
- Ongoing consultation and coaching to support sustainable implementation
- Metrics and evaluation to track progress and demonstrate impact
