HELLO HARMONY: How One of Today’s Unconventional Nursing Leaders Discovered the True Definition of Success
Course Description
“If the path before you is clear, you’re probably on someone else’s.” ― Joseph Campbell
This podcast is like being in one of those movies that you watch until the end of the credits, hoping for surprise ‘bonus material,’ because you want the inspiration to live life more fully, and become the best version of yourself, to last a little longer.
In this podcast course, participants will understand:
- the importance of developing their own definition of success – just because an idea is popular, doesn’t mean it’s true.
- dispel the common myths regarding pace, order, and limitations in achieving career goals.
- how the courage to change-course and follow ‘bread crumbs,’ when life presents challenge and/or opportunity, is essential to one’s evolution of happiness, human potential, and meaningful work.
- how honoring the vision of one’s ideal life, and every-day ‘non-negotiables,’ engenders clarity and confidence.
