The Nurses Who Raised Me—and the Leaders They Helped Shape
Before I ever stepped into a leadership role, I watched one.
Raised by a mother who was a nurse and inspired by a sister who followed the same path, I learned early that leadership is not defined by title—but by how you care, show up, and serve others. This Nurses Week, I reflect on the legacy they left behind and the nurses who continue to shape not only patient care—but the leaders we become.
Halfway There: The Mid-Year Moment Every Leader Should Embrace
The calendar says June—but what does your leadership say?
Halfway through the year is more than a milestone. It’s a mirror.
This isn’t about checking off goals—it’s about checking in with who you’re becoming as a leader.
In this reflection, I’m sharing the questions I ask myself every June to reset, realign, and refocus for the back half of the year.
Because leadership isn’t just about outcomes—it’s about intentional momentum.
“More Than a Moment: Celebrating People as a Leadership Practice”
“Recognition isn’t a seasonal activity. It’s a leadership mindset.”
This week, I reflected on the power of celebrating people—not just during Patient Experience Week or Hospital Week, but as an everyday leadership practice.
Whether it’s a nurse who eases anxiety or a provider who advocates for their team, these moments shape culture more than any strategic plan ever could.
As we prepare for the wave of May recognitions, I’m choosing to carry this forward:
✨ Don’t just mark the calendar. Mark the hearts of the people you lead.
