You care deeply about your team's success, maybe more than anyone realizes.

You’re the one who works late to smooth over tension, chooses your words carefully in every meeting, and stoically carries the emotional weight of leading in today's healthcare environment.

You’re smart, sensitive, and emotionally attuned, but that often means you absorb the stress around you and avoid conflict whenever possible.

When conflict does flare, you find yourself second-guessing what to say, saying nothing at all just to keep the peace, or snapping and regretting it later.

When you want to be clear, you're told you're "too blunt." When you want to be empathetic, colleagues, clinicians, or employees dump their problems at your feet to solve. You're not sure how to be both decisive and compassionate without losing authority or becoming a sponge for other people’s stress.

You're looking for a lasting solution.

You’ve tried the communication frameworks and “difficult conversation” scripts, but they felt complicated, stiff, and unnatural. 

You don't want another catchy acronym or confusing model that tells you what to say.

You want something deeper (and much more effective): a real understanding of what’s happening under the surface when tempers flare, why certain conflicts persist, and how to respond so the cycles stop repeating.

Often, my clients have already tried these programs:

• Non-Violent Communication (too scripted).
  
  

• Crucial Conversations (too complicated to use in-the-moment).
  
  

• Trainings and team building retreats, but the interpersonal drama keeps resurfacing. The real issue isn’t a lack of knowledge, it’s habitual reactions that inflame communication and sabotage your effectiveness.

You want more.

You want to know HOW:

• How to navigate intense emotions
  
  

• How to listen to caregivers', teams', and fellow leaders' frustrations & concerns without becoming reactive yourself
  
  

• How to guide others into productive communication (instead of devolving into avoidance or destructive conflict)

I’m Dr. Annie Campanile

I’ve coached everyone from exasperated nursing directors, to self-doubting executives, to explosive clinicians on the verge of termination, and helped them excel at confident, effective, grounded communication.

I created this work because I saw what was missing: too many leadership and conflict resolution programs ignore the nervous system or fail to provide simple tactics to regulate it.

They assume logic alone will carry the day. But if your body is in fight-or-flight, no script will save you. 

Feel like we might be a fit?

Here are 3 ways to work with me.

Senior Leadership
Coaching

You want to be known as the highly competent and effective leader who calms tensions and builds strong teams. All while staying connected to who you are and what you value.

I offer bespoke coaching  programs that are focused on your unique goals and responsive to your needs.

Conflict
Resolution

When conflict between colleagues (senior leaders, providers, caregivers, etc.) has reached an impasse, I teach you how to resolve it.

Or I step in to guide the conversation, untangling the complexity so your team can move forward. Because operations can't stall and patient care can’t wait.

High-Stakes
Communication 
Coaching

When a provider's or senior leader’s communication style is damaging trust and weakening team performance, I help you address it.

I also coach that provider or leader to stabilize under pressure, repair professional relationships and communicate in ways that inspire confidence, not complaints.
