32: Introducing Nurse Leader HQ: The Program I Wish I’d Had


Listen Later

🎧 Episode Overview:

If you've ever felt like you were handed the keys to a leadership role and left to figure it out on your own—this one's for you. In today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the making of Nurse Leader HQ, a brand new 6-month mentorship and mastermind for nurse leaders who are done winging it and ready to lead with clarity, strategy, and support. You’ll hear why I built this, what makes it different, and what you can expect inside this high-touch container.


🔑 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:
  • The real gap in leadership support that Nurse Leader HQ is designed to fill
  • Why private coaching alone isn’t enough to meet the growing needs of nurse leaders
  • The 3-part structure of the program: private coaching, mastermind community, and leadership lab
  • What’s included inside the program—and who it’s built for
  • A behind-the-scenes coaching conversation with a graduating client (that might just make you cry)


🧠 Key Ideas to Take With You:
  • Being a great nurse doesn’t automatically prepare you to lead in complex systems.
  • You’re not behind—you just haven’t had the right support yet.
  • Leadership growth takes time, but you shouldn’t have to figure it out alone.
  • The best leaders build their systems before they burn out.


🎧 How to Get the Most Out of This Episode:

Whether you're already in a formal role or you’re preparing to step into one, listen with an open mind to what kind of support you actually need—not just what you’ve been offered. Ask yourself: what would be different in your workday if you had a space to process, strategize, and grow?
