Speaker Highlights
Kathleen Bartholomew
Healing Nurse-to-Nurse Hostility
The expression “Nurses eat their young” is so far removed from our idea of the caring and nurturing nurse that we shudder to think it could possibly be true. But the truth is, nurses are hurting each other. Stories from the ‘front line’ cannot be ignored. These stories are the voices of nurses telling the world about their experiences. The first step to healing our relationships is the most difficult: to recognize and openly discuss the problem. Only by understanding the origin and reasons for our behaviors can we even begin to create the healing environment that is so desperately needed in nursing- for ourselves, as well as our patients.
Michelle Cederberg
But I've Never Climbed Everest!?
Setting Aside Small Thinking to Find the Leader within YOU
Success is a personal journey that shouldn’t be measured against the accomplishments of others. You are meant to be whatever you dream of becoming regardless of what those around you might think, or the barriers that you have put up for yourself. In this surprisingly funny, wake-up-call session Michelle shares her ordinary success story to shed light on why we put up barriers to getting to where we really want to be.
Ron Culberson
Do it Well. Make it Fun
This hilarious presentation shows healthcare staff that quality care requires both excellence and fun. He teaches healthcare staff and managers how to create an environment in which everyone wants to be at work. And ultimately, he helps staff and managers understand that excellence combined with fun and humor leads to better patient care.
"Leaders are made, they are not born. They are made by hard effort, which is the price which all of us must pay to achieve any goal that is worthwhile" - Vince Lombardi
