In this week’s episode of High Performance Nursing, I'm sharing a Heart to Heart chat I had with Lauren Belle on self leadership and leading others.

Nurses are among the most trusted professionals, and leading by example is how we begin to develop our self-leadership. It’s about us doing the work and understanding who we are at our core.

I hope that this episode empowers nurses to thrive in their careers and helps to fill some of the gaps as they advance and avoid burnout so that they have a true sense of who they are.

If you are a clinician who wants to improve your Self-Leadership, join us as we chat about career, self-leadership, self-care, wellbeing, and wealth in this episode.
