Menders: Lead from Within with Dr. Nicola De Paul

Lead with Courage to Create Collective Safety.

Courage is something we often ask of ourselves and our employees. To stand up for what's right. To be courageous and outspoken bystanders. To speak up when a mistake is about to happen.
But do we want our employees to have to use courage at work? We think so, but do we?
Or do we need to turn everything we think we know about courage upside down and then rethink the reality of the role courage plays in healthcare organizations?

If you’re doing the internal work to transform yourself as a leader to maximize your impact on your healthcare system – I want something more for you. That is precisely why I got into working with healthcare leaders and leadership teams in the first place.

Join me for a complimentary Leadership Strategy Session (https://forms.office.com/r/ZM6Q4h7q9k) where you’ll have a chance to consider your values and develop a strategy to realign your actions with your core values.

Contact me ([email protected]) if you have questions or want additional details about this free Strategy Session. And keep in mind...because of the very special nature of this mindfulness-based work, just a few seats are available each month!

Follow the map to reclaim your courage with Dr. Lucy Houghton

You can reclaim your courage, all you need is a map.

Courage shows up in places of pain, transition, challenge, and uncertainty! And while women are not socialized to be courageous, we are born into spaces that demand courage and leadership.
Did you know that boys keep a steady level of courage as they age, but girls don't? Girls lose their courage (at least for a while) and tend to build it back in middle age.
Let's skip the early loss of courage and follow Dr. Lucy Houghton, Courage Cartographer, as she teaches us how to reclaim our courage as leaders.

Align your actions with your values for DEI with Sarah Bettman

Aligning Your Actions with Your Values for DEI & Inclusive Leadership
If you’ve been wondering how to put your core values into practice and help your healthcare organization transition away from old habits and towards inclusive leadership values. Look no further.
Sarah Bettman shares practical ideas about how to align your healthcare system with deeply rooted diversity, equity, and inclusion values. She will challenge you to understand why it’s not enough to show up in pro-diversity spaces, like your town’s PRIDE parade, or to be a figurehead in your hospital's COVID tent. You must also be willing to learn from and be changed by these spaces.

Sarah Bettman is the principal consultant at Bettman Consulting Group. She works with leaders to develop workplace cultures deeply rooted in the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion that don't have a "check the box" vibe.
