In the age of social media, it's easy to fall into the trap of comparison. We see our colleagues posting about their love for nursing, their energy, and their positive experiences, and we can't help but wonder, "What's wrong with me?”In this episode, we’ll address the issue of comparison in nursing careers. With the prevalence of energetic and positive nurses online, it can lead to feelings of inadequacy and questioning one's nursing career. However, it is okay to not feel the same level of happiness and fulfillment as others in the profession and we should accept our reality and stop comparing ourselves to others. By creating space for self-reflection and engaging in activities that bring joy, nurses can begin to move towards a more fulfilling nursing career.Key takeaways:0:00:17 Feeling disconnected and comparing oneself to others0:01:19 It's okay to not feel the same way about nursing0:02:37 Accepting that everyone's reality is different0:04:16 Nursing is not always rainbows and sunshine0:05:44 Nervous system dysregulation and burnout0:06:14 Stop comparing and acknowledge where you're atWant to land your graduate nursing role with ease?Didn't land your grad?

Confidence vs. Self ConfidenceIn this episode, I dig into confidence vs. self-confidence, a common issue among us nurses, is believing we are not confident enough to do something. I started by separating confidence and self-confidence into external and internal factors, where confidence is seen as an external validation and self-confidence comes from within.Three main factors contribute to self-confidence: trusting yourself at all times, being open to experiencing any emotion, and your thoughts about yourself.There is also a misconception that confidence comes from being competent in something, and it clarifies that confidence comes from repetition, but self-confidence comes from within.Self-confidence is not arrogance but rather trust in oneself, willingness to experience both positive and negative emotions, and managing thoughts about oneself.This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to build their self-confidence. I provide insightful and practical tips on cultivating self-confidence, which is essential for success in any career or aspect of life.Key takeaways:03:28 - Confidence and self-confidence a common issues among people.04:48 - External and internal factors.06:54 - Three main factors of self-confidence08:10 - Self-confidence is not arrogance09:43 - Overcoming misconceptions15:53 - The importance of self-confidence18:53 - Self-confidence is your ticket to your dream jobThanks for listening!Loved the episode?

As nurses, we often seek advice from our peers, family, and friends when it comes to our careers. However, not all advice is created equal, and following bad advice can have detrimental effects on our mental, emotional, and professional well-being.In this episode, we will talk about the 5 Bad Nursing Advice that nurses must take into consideration.

In this episode, I explore the concept of "who not how" and how it can help nurses achieve their goals. Instead of focusing on how to achieve a goal, it is more effective to find the right person or resource to help you reach that goal. I’m sharing my examples and stories to illustrate the power of finding the right "who" and leveraging their expertise.This concept is inspired by the book "Who Not How?" by Dr. Benjamin Hardy and Dan Sullivan. The book's central idea is finding the right individuals to help you reach your goals. Once you find the right "who" – a mentor, coach, or colleague – they can guide you, provide accountability, and help you uncover the "how".Focusing less on the "how" and more on the "who" can be a game-changer in achieving goals, especially for nurses. It helps us leverage collective expertise, regulate our mindset, and accelerate our progress. So, as you set your sights on your goals for 2024, consider looking for your "who" to help uncover the "how".Key takeaways:03:30 The Book "Who Not How" by Dr. Benjamin Hardy and Dan Sullivan04:38 Using the "Who Not How" Mindset in a Leadership Role08:26 Impact of Disconnection in the Nursing Community10:49 Achieving Goals through Neuroplasticity and Accountability12:07 The Importance of Finding the Right Support in Nursing14:46 Leveraging Collective Expertise to Achieve Nursing Goals22:47 Holding Yourself Accountable and Having a Future-Focused Vision in Nursing24:22 Success Story of Helping a Nurse Transition to a Work-From-Home Position26:00 Leveraging Someone's Expertise to Save Time and Achieve Goals28:56 Personal Example of Leveraging Someone's Expertise to Save Time29:57 Importance of Finding the Right "Who" in Nursing Careers and LeadershipWant to land your graduate nursing role with ease?Didn't land your grad?

In this episode, I explore 'transition shock' and strategies to conquer it, addressing the challenges of transitioning to new roles or careers. Facing the fear of starting over can hinder progress. To thrive amidst these changes, I emphasized the importance of embracing change and nurturing resilience.Transition shock encompasses a spectrum of emotions experienced during significant life or career shifts—excitement, confidence, self-doubt, and anxiety. Normalizing this experience is crucial. Feeling underconfident during new challenges is a typical phase, not a reflection of personal shortcomings. Transitioning requires patience, practice, and time.Navigating transition shock involves a mindset shift. It's about embracing the emotional whirlwind, reframing negative thoughts, and building confidence and competence. Remember, transition shock is a natural part of the process. Embracing change with resilience and trust in my abilities is key to fostering a fulfilling nursing career filled with growth.Key takeaways:00:54 Understanding Transition Shock in Nursing01:04 The Fear of Being a Beginner Again01:39 The Journey of Our Graduates02:37 Navigating Nervousness and Self-Doubt06:38 Reframing Thoughts for a Positive Transition10:55 The Dunning Kruger Effect and Transition Shock15:22 Building Resilience and Navigating Change16:45 Conclusion: Normalizing Transition and Embracing the JourneyWant to land your graduate nursing role with ease?Didn't land your grad?

In this episode, I emphasized the value of embracing flexible career paths rather than fixating on meticulously laid out plans. I delve into the prevalent sentiment among healthcare professionals, including myself, of feeling the need to tightly control career outcomes, which often leads to unnecessary stress and worry. Drawing from my own experiences and insights gleaned from successful professionals, I highlight the nonlinear nature of success in nursing and the futility of trying to micromanage every aspect of our journey. Instead, I urge listeners to cultivate resilience and adaptability, empowering themselves to navigate discomfort and change while centering on an internal locus of control—managing our thoughts, emotions, and actions.Throughout the discussion, I underscore the significance of remaining open to diverse opportunities that align with our evolving personal and professional needs. I stress the importance of being receptive to change and varying pathways, recognizing that a rigid approach seldom aligns with the dynamic nature of our careers. I advocate for a mindset that embraces uncertainty and seeks growth through embracing diverse opportunities.The crucial role resilience plays in our pursuit of fulfilling careers and lives. It emphasizes that developing comfort in discomfort is pivotal, serving as a prerequisite for achieving our aspirations. By fostering resilience and a willingness to adapt, we can chart our course towards our dream careers while navigating the unpredictable nature of our professional journeys.Key takeaways:01:29 The Illusion of Control and the Importance of Flexibility03:01 The Power of Diverse Experiences: A Case Study04:55 The Pitfalls of Linear Thinking in Career Progression05:30 Embracing Change and the Grief Process07:27 The Role of Discomfort in Achieving Goals08:25 The Importance of Critical Thinking and Emotional Resilience09:18 Creating Your Own Path and Embracing Opportunities10:36 The Role of Emotions in Pursuing Your Goals13:56 The Power of Failure and Rejection in Personal Growth14:47 Conclusion: Discomfort as the Currency of Your DreamsWant to land your graduate nursing role with ease?Didn't land your grad?

In this episode, I talked about how our brains adapt and learn and how we can confidently navigate career changes while building upon existing expertise.The common fear many have about losing their clinical skills when expanding their career in nursing or switching to a different industry.

In today's episode, my focus is on a major issue affecting our earning potential: underselling ourselves. Despite our skills and accomplishments, many nurses struggle to express their true value due to fear of coming off as overconfident. It's crucial to distinguish between self-assuredness and arrogance while recognizing and communicating your expertise, achievements, and experience for professional growth.This habit of underselling creates a self-fulfilling prophecy, hindering our opportunities in nursing careers by dwelling on our perceived inadequacies. To combat this, we need to deeply explore our career narratives, understand our worth, and reshape our perceptions of our capabilities.The roots of this underselling behavior lie in deep-seated beliefs and past experiences. Not addressing these can stall professional growth and earning potential. Although not an easy fix, investing in recognizing your worth brings real changes in your career trajectory. By ending the underselling cycle and actively pursuing opportunities that match your value, you can unlock the income and opportunities you truly deserve. Let's remember that nurses' worth merits acknowledgment, paving the way for opportunities that reflect our actual value.

Self Doubt as a Graduate Nurse - Grad Success Series Self-doubt is a self-created emotion.  Self-doubt comes from our thoughts about ourselves, which we have practiced believing more than we have practiced positive affirmations about ourselves. External factors such as grades, job rejections, or negative feedback from others do not create self-doubt for us, as they are outside of our control.  Our thoughts generate our feelings, and the self-doubt we feel stems from our negative thoughts about ourselves. We have power over ourselves and our thoughts, and I encourage you to practice positive affirmations to combat self-doubt.  Remember, others cannot create how we feel, and it is up to us to take charge of our thoughts and emotions. Key takeaways: 00:54 What is self-doubt? 02:40 We have power over ourselves and our thoughts. 03:46 Our thoughts generate our feelings, including self-doubt. 07:07 External factors do not create self-doubt 09:36 Conclusion and the importance of understanding the role of our thoughts in generating self-doubt.

Nursing from Your Future Self  Today, we explore the topic of self-love and how it can be particularly challenging for nurses who may have negative thoughts about their current nursing career and life situation. I talked about the importance of acknowledging that there was a version of oneself in the past who was excited about where you are now.

Confidence vs. Self Confidence In this episode, I dig into confidence vs. self-confidence, a common issue among us nurses, is believing we are not confident enough to do something. I started by separating confidence and self-confidence into external and internal factors, where confidence is seen as an external validation and self-confidence comes from within. Three main factors contribute to self-confidence: trusting yourself at all times, being open to experiencing any emotion, and your thoughts about yourself. There is also a misconception that confidence comes from being competent in something, and it clarifies that confidence comes from repetition, but self-confidence comes from within. Self-confidence is not arrogance but rather trust in oneself, willingness to experience both positive and negative emotions, and managing thoughts about oneself. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to build their self-confidence. I provide insightful and practical tips on cultivating self-confidence, which is essential for success in any career or aspect of life. Key takeaways: 03:28 - Confidence and self-confidence a common issues among people. 04:48 - External and internal factors. 06:54 - Three main factors of self-confidence 08:10 - Self-confidence is not arrogance 09:43 - Overcoming misconceptions 15:53 - The importance of self-confidence 18:53 - Self-confidence is your ticket to your dream job Book a call with Liam to unlock the power of self-confidence and transform your nursing career.

Considering the overwhelming nature of our career as nurses, it’s normal to have a mind full of competing stories and thoughts, sometimes, its really hard to see what is story and what is fact! If you are feeling like your brain has you running round in circles, good news your human!

Working as a nurse and midwife in the modern healthcare system is certainly a challenge, typically because as clinicians, we are ill-equipped to thrive within the complex system that is healthcare! This week in High Performance Nursing, we’ll discuss with Clinical Psychologist and Founder of the Nurse Wellbeing Mission, Nathan Illman, the value of self-care, well-being, and our shared vision for organizational support for nurses and midwives. Caring for our mental health, having an encouraging workplace, and building a robust culture are some of the few steps we can take to ensure that our nurses can perform at their best! Nathan shares his top tips as a nurse and midwife ally, drawing from his lived experience in the system as both a clinical peer and a family member. Nathan was inspired by the amazing work that nurses and midwives do, kickstarting his desire to use his psychology and coaching skills to positively influence the system!  Ultimately, the goal is not to become the best worker out there, but to be the best version of yourself as a human first, nurse second. It’s time to dig deep and understand that those who deliver care must also experience care, even from themselves. All this and more in this exciting discussion! Tune in and enjoy the conversation.

Nurses are some of the busiest people on the planet. Between managing patient care and dealing with paperwork, there’s precious little time for self-care. However, if you want to be your best both at work and at home, it’s important to take some time for yourself.  In this week’s episode of High Performance Nursing, I am sharing with you the importance of self-coaching for nurses and how it can improve the industry. While self-coaching may seem like a daunting task, it’s actually quite simple.  Personally, I am a big fan of self-coaching. I find that it helps me to stay focused and motivated, both at work and in my personal life. Self-coaching also allows me to reflect on my achievements and learn from my mistakes.  As nurses, we are constantly bombarded with tasks and responsibilities. It can be easy to get bogged down and feel like you’re just going through the motions. However, by taking a step back and coaching yourself, you can gain a new perspective on your work.  If you’re interested in learning more about self-coaching, check out this week’s episode of High Performance Nursing.

Nurses are constantly having to adapt and respond to new situations.  In this week’s episode of High Performance Nursing, I am sharing with you how to deal with uncertainties as a nurse.

I see it as an opportunity to learn and grow. After all, if we never faced any challenges or uncertainties, life would be pretty boring, wouldn't it? So how do we deal with uncertainty, especially as a nurse? Tune in to find out! WHAT YOU’LL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE: What is uncertainty?

Are you one of the few fortunate people whose profession became their passion? In the world of nursing, care is not just about the sick, nursing the human spirit is also a significant duty that nurses heed. However, not all nurses will be ready to embark on life-changing journeys. These are often filled with uncomfortable situations and the first-hand experience of impoverished medical management.  In this week’s episode of High Performance Nursing, I have a wonderful conversation with Sarah Morse. She has over 20 years of experience as a Registered Nurse and a champion of Humanitarian actions.

She’s capable of giving care and nursing the human spirit wherever in the world she may be.  Sarah’s nursing career gave her awareness of what other people are going through, and discover her true self.

Most of us are guilty of not recognizing our own worth. It’s our human nature to think that a sense of worthiness is only possible when we have more things and accomplishments. However, I’m here to prove that you are worthy right here, right now.  In this episode of High Performance Nursing, I decided to record a random talk session about feeling worthy. Have you ever had the feeling of needing to outsource your worthiness for it to be valid? I had been in situations like this when I don’t feel worthy unless I acquire certain achievements under my name. In my nursing career, I realized that our worthiness is available regardless of the circumstances we’re in. We define our own worth, it’s never dependent on how other people see us. Give yourself the permission to immerse in worthiness no matter how the world makes you feel. Keep in mind that you will never achieve your goals from a place of emptiness. You need to empower yourself and make the decision to feel worthy. WHAT YOU’LL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE: Why do we outsource our worth? (00:55) The negative effects of setting conditions to worthiness (02:27) How does coaching help us realize worthiness? (04:15) The value of reminding yourself that you’re worthy (05:55) QUOTES:  "The only reason that you are not worthy in your mind is because of the thoughts you're choosing to think." -Liam Caswell (02:13) "The only person that can define your worth is you." -Liam Caswell (02:51) "I want to empower you to start seeing that you are 100% worthy right here, right now.

There's no question that we all want to be wealthy. But how do you go about building wealth while knowing your worth? It can be tricky, but it's definitely not impossible.  In this week’s episode of High Performance Nursing, I have a fascinating conversation with Lauren Bell, a registered nurse who is also a consciousness coach, helping healthcare professionals in building wealth while knowing their self-worth. According to Lauren, one of the main things that get in the way of healthcare professionals achieving wealth is their own self-worth. She explains that a lot of healthcare professionals have been taught to be "givers" and not "takers." As a result, they often have a hard time asking for what they're worth or charging what they're worth. If you are a healthcare professional who wants to build wealth but doesn't know where to start, this episode is for you! You will learn how to shift your mindset around wealth and begin taking actionable steps towards building the life you want.

A lot of people tend to stop themselves from pursuing a big goal. We constantly hold back because of imposter syndrome and the fear of failure.  With podcasting, I’ve realised that failing can be a beautiful thing. It may be hard, but I’ve always been determined to push myself to experience the highs and the lows.  As we celebrate the 50th episode of the High Performance Nursing, I decided to record a solo episode to celebrate this milestone. A year ago, I never thought that I’d be able to publish this many episodes, but here we are. Through this episode, I encourage you to bet on yourself and recognise your success. You may have had small wins and think that they’re not substantial, but in these little triumphs we become more empowered and believe that we’re amazing beings capable of achieving whatever we want.  Remember that the only block stopping you from getting what you want is you, so step into your greatness, take massive messy strategic action and don’t be afraid to fail.  WHAT YOU’LL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE: Why we need to stop, breathe, and reflect (01:05) The dangers of imposter syndrome (02:02) Bet on yourself and do whatever you want (03:25) Why failing is a beautiful thing (04:30) Liam’s goals for the HPN podcast (06:00) The importance of self-care (06:25) CONNECT WITH LIAM CASWELL Connect with me on Instagram PS. I have launched my signature "8 week Clinical Career Accelerator Program" to help clinicians (just like you) achieve their career goals, with confidence, clarity and mentorship from me!

According to Rory, focusing on what you like and what you want is very important, especially when jumping from one career to another.

Think you have the toughest job in nursing? Cardiac nurses would beg to differ. Dealing with heart patients and their myriad issues takes a special kind of nurse – one who is skilled, knowledgeable, and unflappable.  In this week’s episode of High-Performance Nursing, I have a fascinating conversation with Georgia Sibley, a Clinical Nurse Specialist in Cardiology. Georgia thinks that in order to give the greatest clinical treatment and ensure patient safety, nurses must acquire a thorough awareness of their patients' condition. According to her,  cardiac nursing is not for the faint of heart. It’s a demanding, high-pressure job that requires split-second decision-making. But it’s also incredibly rewarding, as you have the opportunity to make a real difference in people’s lives – sometimes even saving them.

Are you feeling run down? Burned out? Stressed? It's time for some self-care! Clinicians are notorious for putting themselves last, but we need to take care of ourselves if we want to be effective in our work.  In this week’s episode of High-Performance Nursing, I have a fascinating conversation with Diana Page, a burnout survivor turned burnout educator, Nurse/NP mentor, Neurology NP, self-care strategist, and mom of two toddlers. According to Diana, we need to think of self-care as an investment, not an expense. When we take care of ourselves, we are able to show up better for our patients, our families, and our communities. This is such an important topic, and I'm so glad Diana came on the show to share her wisdom. So, pour yourself a cup of coffee or tea, find a comfortable spot, and enjoy the show.  WHAT YOU’LL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE: Diana's career (0:13) Diana’s thoughts on changing careers (2:15) Becoming an NP (6:15) Finding an autonomous senior career role (9:57) Diana's experience with burnout (13:43) Dealing with people with low failure tolerance (20:33) How to convince nurses to face their fears (24:02) Implementing boundaries in the nursing profession (28:53) How can nurses strategically reflect (34:54) PS. I have launched my signature "8 week Clinical Career Accelerator Program" to help clinicians (just like you) achieve their career goals, with confidence, clarity and mentorship from me!

What does it take to become a midwife? A lot of hard work, dedication, and some natural talent. From the moment you start your training, you are on a journey that will test your resolve, time and time again.  There are many hours of studying and hands-on experience that is required before one can even be considered for the profession. But it is a journey well worth taking, as the job comes with a different sense of satisfaction.  In this week’s episode of High-Performance Nursing, I had an interesting conversation with Julie Blackburn, who brings a combined 30 years of expertise in these fields to her training sessions. Her main areas of interest include education, women's issues, fathers' involvement in pregnancy and delivery, family health, and preventing domestic abuse. According to Julie, being a midwife student is a lot like always trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together and figuring out what is going on with the patient. The skills required for the job are vast and diverse.  Becoming a midwife is not an easy task. It takes years of hard work and dedication to master the skills required for the job. But for those who are up for the challenge, the reward is great. The satisfaction that comes with helping to bring a new life into the world is truly unmatched.
