Katie loves working alongside people to support them as they develop their leadership skills. She is an experienced healthcare leader, a nurse of over 30 years and works as a coach, mentor, trainer and facilitator. She has worked as a charge nurse, nurse practitioner, service manager, nurse director, quality manager and improvement specialist. She believes careers are jungle gyms rather than ladders and is always on the lookout for how she can creatively support those who work in healthcare.
She excels at the poorly named 'soft skills' and creates safe spaces to have real conversations that make a difference. She'll push your thinking forward with empathy and compassion and has a great way to help you get different perspectives.
Katie believes that when we care for ourselves, we can care for our teams and that will have ripple effects for the communities and patients that our healthcare systems serve. She knows that when we find joy in work, that will positively impact those we work with and lead.
