“I had the honor and distinct pleasure of working with Josie for 12 years during my tenure at Bayada Home Health Care, first as a respected peer and later as someone who had the privilege of reporting directly to her. Although significantly younger than I, she consistently demonstrated a level of poise, professionalism, compassion, and wisdom that made her one of the most capable and talented leaders I encountered throughout my 40-year career.

Whether serving as a colleague or a manager, Josie approached every challenge with calm confidence, thoughtful curiosity, and strategic insight. Among her many gifts as a leader, what stood out most was her ability to make others feel genuinely heard, respected, and valued. She inspired trust, brought out the best in those around her, and led with both strength and grace.

Josie’s influence on me, both personally and professionally, endures to this day. I am a better leader and a better person because I had the privilege of working alongside her.”

“It is a true privilege to recommend Josie Ross. Having had the opportunity to work alongside her, I’ve witnessed firsthand her rare ability to bring together exceptional people skills, operational excellence, strategic thinking, and innovative problem-solving in a way that consistently drives meaningful results.

What sets Josie apart is her ability to navigate complexity with confidence and clarity. Whether leading through organizational change, optimizing processes, solving challenging business problems, or developing forward-thinking strategies, she approaches every situation with a thoughtful, solutions-oriented mindset. She has an incredible talent for identifying opportunities where others see obstacles and transforming ideas into actionable, sustainable outcomes.

Beyond her professional expertise, Josie is one of the most people-centered leaders I have worked with. She builds trust quickly, fosters collaboration across teams, and creates environments where each individual feels valued, supported, and empowered to do their best work. Her emotional intelligence, authenticity, and ability to connect with people at all levels makes her not only an effective leader but also a trusted advisor and colleague.

Josie possesses the unique combination of operational discipline and visionary thinking that organizations need to thrive in today’s rapidly changing environment. She consistently elevates others and delivers results while inspiring those around her to think bigger and perform at a higher level. Any organization would be fortunate to have Josie on their team. I wholeheartedly recommend her and look forward to seeing the continued impact she will undoubtedly make.”

-Erin Bethea | Regional Director at BAYADA Home Health Care

“I've had the pleasure and privilege of knowing Josie for nearly a decade, working alongside her for several years across two organizations (BAYADA and SteadyMD) as members of their executive teams.

What makes Josie exceptional is that she understands both sides of the equation: what it takes to run a business, and what it takes to help people thrive within one. She spent the first part of her career as an accomplished healthcare operator, where she learned firsthand the pressures people managers face every day. That operational grounding is what lets her turn people strategy into practical systems by building the structures that let VPs support Directors, Directors support Managers, and Managers support their teams. She knows that a strong culture doesn't happen by accident; it takes clear expectations, capable leaders, and ongoing investment in people.

But what truly sets Josie apart is her passion for helping people become the best version of themselves. She once described herself as a mirror: someone who helps people see their strengths, recognize all the ways they shine, and build on them. It's the intersection of deep operational credibility and that genuine passion for people that makes her one of a kind.

What's stayed with me most is watching her coach people and teams — myself included — through real uncertainty: organizational change, business transitions, interpersonal challenges, disruption. Whether the organization was a large institution or an early-stage startup, she was completely unfazed, because she knows people are the building blocks of every business.

I recommend Josie without hesitation to any organization looking for a leader who brings operational credibility, strategic thinking, and genuine human insight to build both stronger people and a stronger business. Beyond her leadership, she is a gem of a human being and a true pleasure to problem-solve with.”
