On this episode of The Lead Up Podcast, Mike is joined by guest Katie Boston Leary.

Katie is the Director of Nursing Programmes at the American Nurses Association and oversees the nursing practice and work environment division as well as being a clinical well-being representative. Throughout this episode, they discuss workforce issues such as staffing, nurse well-being, mental health wellness, and workplace violence as they share how we can effectively lead through these challenges.

Katie shares her thoughts on how we can slow down the exit of talent through strong leadership and listen to what the nurses on the ground are wanting and need after the pandemic. Mike and Katie discuss the popular topic of nurses working from home using hybrid environments and utilizing telehealth, remote care surveillance, and new productivity models to decrease workloads and burnout.

Katie gives us an insight into the current state of violence within healthcare and how leaders can help battle this issue before people become desensitized to the severity of the issue. They also talk about how the better linkage between institutions where care is delivered and institutions where care is taught could help reduce this exit of talent mass issue the healthcare industry is experiencing. Katie reminds us that in crisis there is an opportunity and encourages all healthcare workers and students to use this opportunity to leverage this crisis to create change for nursing staff, students, and patients!

Susan is a Leadership Coach who has worked with CEOs, fortune 100 executive teams, and more. She is on a mission to usher in a new era of Leadership: Enlightened Leadership!

Mike and Susan discuss her book, The Leader’s Playlist, and the theory within her book, unleashing the power of music and neuroscience to transform leadership and life. 

Susan explains how we all have a playlist that’s running in the background which acts as a ceiling to our leadership effectiveness. They talk about Susan’s process to help you uncover your playlist that will help you increase your impact and influence in your leadership role. They also touch on how our formative years impact our leadership as adults. Susan explains how leaders tend to play out their childhood wounds in the workplace.

Susan takes us through how music plays such an important role in leadership as it has the power to light up all the regions in the brain and activate all parts of the brain, which helps us to shift our state of mind depending on what type of music we listen to. Mike and Susan dig deep into Authentic Vs. Vulnerable leadership and how one of the largest misconceptions people seem to have about their own leadership is that what is occurring isn’t actually about the external circumstances, it’s who you’re being in the face of that.

A special guest joins Mike this week on The LeadUp Podcast. Sam Shapiro is a coach for mission-driven leaders, empowering them to lead themselves and others to greater fulfillment, enhanced well-being, and elevated impact.

Samantha has experience working in several healthcare facilities. She's learned that no matter how difficult the problems we are attempting to solve, our efforts to do so will only last for as long as our people are able to endure. She is passionate about helping people as well as their organizations with their health, growth, and development.

Sam and Mike discuss the importance of self-care in leadership. They discuss the need to do the hard work of self-care by asking yourself tough questions. Before asking someone else what they can do, ask yourself how you can do the work you need to do. Ask yourself how you can adjust your approach. Sam notes that self-care is fundamentally about connecting leaders with themselves.

Why are curiosity and self-reflection so important in leadership? Mike believes it opens up communication, while Sam says it makes awareness action-oriented. Sam talks about loosening the grip of the achiever, allowing the power of our unconscious mind to support our decision-making, and connecting to what we want our lives to be about and the legacy we want to leave.

Our conversation with Sam covers a number of topics including knowing when we're overusing our strengths and a helpful technique he calls the Three Gifts, which helps us train our brain to find the learning and opportunity in any situation.
