Bring the Healer Revolution to Your Organization

With decades of experience inside healthcare organizations, Richie speaks the language of clinicians, executives, board members and frontline teams alike. His message is grounded in real-world leadership, lived experience, and a deep belief that healthcare can heal again—starting with its people.

Healthcare is exhausted.
Clinicians are burned out.
Leaders are overwhelmed.
Culture feels broken—but no one knows where to begin.

The Healer Revolution exists because fixing healthcare isn’t about new technology or more policies—it’s about restoring meaning, connection, and humanity to the work. The Healer Revolution is a call to return healthcare to its original purpose: healing.

Through powerful storytelling, practical insight, and bold truth, Richie challenges organizations to rethink culture, leadership, and how we care for those who care for others.

This isn’t motivation for motivation’s sake—it’s a blueprint for cultural renewal.

The Healer Revolution: Reclaiming Purpose in Healthcare

A comprehensive introduction to the framework, ideal for conferences, leadership retreats, and organizational kickoffs. Audiences leave with practical tools and renewed clarity about why their work matters.

Equally Yoked: Why Culture Transformation Requires Everyone

Explores the foundational principle that everyone who serves the healing mission shares equal purpose. Powerful for organizations struggling with silos, hierarchy, or disconnection between clinical and non-clinical teams.

Fire Starters and Fire Keepers: Building Culture That Survives

Focuses on identifying cultural catalysts and building structural protections. Ideal for organizations in leadership transition or those who've watched previous culture efforts fade.

The Tuesday Test: Finding Purpose in the Ordinary

A more intimate presentation about sustaining meaning when there's no crisis, no recognition, and no applause. Resonates deeply with frontline workers experiencing burnout.

What Breaks Culture: The Harder Story

The harder story—what happens when cultural transformation isn't protected, and how to prevent it. Uniquely honest and deeply practical.

"But credentials don't transform organizations. Clarity does."
- Richie Splitt

Consulting

A keynote sparks recognition. Consulting builds transformation.

For organizations ready to move from inspiration to implementation,

Richie offers partnership engagements that bring The Healer Revolution to life.

The Five Tiles:

Board Education on Cultural Governance

Boards govern finances, compliance, risk, and strategy. But who governs culture? Most boards don't know how to measure the soul of an organization—until it's already eroding. This education equips your board to understand, monitor, and protect healer culture as a fiduciary responsibility.

HACK Assessment & Cultural Diagnostics

What's really driving your turnover? Your patient scores? Your burnout? The Healer Assessment Culture Kit examines five dimensions of organizational health to uncover your Aha! moment—the insight hiding in plain sight that explains everything and points toward transformation. Most assessments measure what you're doing. HACK reveals who you're empowering.

Fire Starter Identification & Development

Every transformation needs someone to light the match. Fire Starters are the healers who ignite change—often from unexpected roles. This engagement identifies your natural Fire Starters, develops their capacity to spark movement, and protects them from burning out before the culture catches flame.

Fire Keeper Structures & Succession Planning

Fire Starters ignite. Fire Keepers sustain. Most organizations have plenty of people who can start change—what they lack are the structures that maintain it. This work builds succession systems and cultural safeguards that protect your transformation when founders leave and leaders transition. It's the work Richie wishes he'd done before his own departure.

Leadership Team Alignment

A healer culture requires leaders who share more than strategy—they must share identity. This engagement aligns your leadership team around a common understanding of who you are, why you exist, and what you're protecting. Misaligned leaders send mixed signals. Aligned leaders create movement.
