Yanick Hicks, PharmD | Executive Director, Maxwell Leadership
Pharmacy technicians play a vital role in ensuring accuracy, safety, and seamless patient care—but today’s rapidly evolving healthcare goes beyond technical proficiency. It requires proactive, everyday leadership that strengthens the entire care team.
In this empowering session, you’ll discover how the R.E.A.L. Leadership framework—Resilience, Empathy, Accountability, and Leadership Excellence—can help you elevate your influence, strengthen team performance, and create meaningful impact through your daily work. Whether you’re supporting clinical operations, coordinating care, or mentoring others, this presentation will equip you with practical tools to communicate effectively, stay resilient under pressure, and lead with confidence in any pharmacy setting.
  1. Practice strategies rooted in active listening, accountability, and resilience to build trust, improve workflow collaboration, and contribute to a more efficient, engaged, and
    high-performing pharmacy team.
  2. Develop emotional intelligence skills to improve communication, strengthen professional relationships, and support a positive, collaborative work culture—even in high-pressure environments.
  3. Understand and apply the R.E.A.L. Leadership framework to enhance teamwork, strengthen resilience, and elevate the impact pharmacy technicians have on patient care and operational excellence.
