VitalPath Leadership Institute

About VitalPath Leadership Institute

VitalPath Leadership Institute exists to develop confident, capable leaders who strengthen teams and elevate performance.

We work with organizations and leaders across multiple industries who operate in complex, high-stakes environments.

We support professionals who understand that expertise alone doesn’t create results. Strong leadership requires clear communication, emotional intelligence, conflict management, and the ability to lead people without burning them out.

Our Mission

Our mission is to elevate the standard of leadership by developing skilled, emotionally intelligent leaders who create healthy team cultures and deliver better outcomes for their organizations.

Our Vision

We envision organizations where leaders at every level have the tools, confidence, and support they need to:

Communicate clearly
Lead with integrity and compassion
Build trust across teams
Make decisions that are both clinically sound and people-centered

What We Do

VitalPath provides a structured, interactive 12-week Healthcare Leadership Development Program designed specifically for healthcare and non-healthcare settings.

Through weekly live virtual sessions, practical tools, and real-world case examples, participants learn how to:

Navigate difficult conversations and conflict
Strengthen collaboration between clinical and administrative teams
Hold staff accountable in a fair, consistent way
Coach and develop their teams
Lead change without losing people along the way
Build a culture of respect, trust, and high performance

Every participant finishes with a personalized leadership action plan they can immediately apply in their current role. Participants who complete the full 12-week live interactive program will receive a Certificate of Completion from Vital Path Healthcare Leadership Institute. This certificate can be used for professional development documentation, leadership progression, or internal training requirements.

Meet The Educator

Soledad Adelina Goodson, MBA, MHA
Founder and Educator, VitalPath Leadership Institute

Soledad Adelina Goodson is a former healthcare executive and leadership strategist with extensive experience leading multi-site organizations, community health centers, and complex, people-driven operations.

Over her career, she has led teams across revenue cycle, ambulatory services, hospital-based programs, and high-accountability environments — developing leaders who must perform under pressure while supporting diverse teams.

After years of watching talented professionals get promoted into leadership roles without the training and support they deserved, she created VitalPath to bridge that gap — first in healthcare, and now for leaders across industries facing similar challenges.

Soledad's approach blends:

Real, on-the-ground leadership
Evidence-based leadership frameworks
Practical tools leaders can use immediately with their teams

Her style is direct, supportive, and deeply focused on helping leaders grow without burning out or losing who they are.

Why Organizations Choose VitalPath

Organizations choose VitalPath because leadership challenges don’t exist in theory — they show up in real teams, real pressure, and real consequences.

VitalPath was built to provide — leadership frameworks are intentionally designed to translate across industries that are complex, regulated and emotionally demanding.

Organizations partner with VitalPath because we offer:

Leadership grounded in real-world experience
Not academic theory or generic corporate models — our work is informed by leaders who have operated in high-accountability environments.
Practical tools leaders can use immediately
Clear frameworks, scripts, and strategies leaders can apply with their teams right away.
Programs that reduce burnout while improving performance
We focus on sustainable leadership — clarity, communication, accountability, and resilience.
Industry-aware, people-first training
Whether in healthcare or beyond, we understand the pressures leaders face and design programs that meet them where they are.

VitalPath works with organizations that are ready to move beyond checkbox training and invest in leadership that actually changes how people lead.
