Menders: Lead from Within with Dr. Nicola De Paul

Self-awareness and respect are the keys to building relationships in healthcare.
Learning to command respect by being yourself is so much more powerful than trying to be someone you're not as a leader.
Let go of the "leadership" persona and learn from Natalie Lamberton as she shares how she has learned to use being herself to model respect for her people. Being yourself empowers your team members to be themselves and allows you to act with intentionality to build resilient teams.
Listen to find out:

Why it's her dream for every person in her hospital to say, "I take care of patients"
What she does to lower the power differential and promote healthy team functioning
How she came to understand the gravity of her words and actions as a CEO

Bio: Natalie Lamberton is the CEO of Denver Springs Behavioral Health Hospital and co-author of The Emerging Leader: A field guide.

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!
