Hey guys, it is Tammy with Nurseminder at I am here to give you some really big news
right after this.
So as promised, there's some big news I want to share with you.
And I have officially drumroll hung up the stethoscope and I am no longer actively nursing
bedside or an education and what we call a non practicing nurse right now.
And I want to share with you what that means for you what I'm focusing on now, and what
I can support you with going forward.
Now I want to share, I am never far away from the nursing profession because I'm still very
much involved in the background supporting our nurses or nurse leaders or healthcare
professionals to create better workplace cultures through conversation.
So here's why I transitioned.
And I'll tell you what I've transitioned to in a minute.
In the last several years, I have noticed more and more people coming to me when they
had a difficult patient when they felt that they had a colleague that was a bit offensive
or maybe even abrasive and bullish when they had a manager that they thought was being
micromanaging.
And what I was noticing as they were coming to me to help them navigate these difficult
conversations.
And that lit me up knowing that I could support them to stay in this difficult moment and
partner with the other person so they can come out the other side still working together
collaboratively.
So about 13 months ago, I decided to look into getting certified as a coach.
And just this this week, actually, I received word that after all those 13 months, five
core courses, six months of certification with several different people in my leadership
team.
And alongside of me, and many hours and lots of money.
I received word that I have become a certified professional co active coach.
So what does that mean?
This means that I have transitioned into a coaching practice.
And I work with individuals, healthcare providers, leaders, as I said, who are wanting to create
better relationships.
Fundamentally, that's it.
Now when it comes to the clients I'm working with, you may see yourself in this and want
to reach out to me to see if I can support you.
So there's a there's kind of like a range.
At the very front end, I am working with individuals who are struggling in their relationships
at work, or are on the recovery side of workplace bullying situation, and looking to return
back to their own sense of self and reclaim their place in the world.
And so in terms of the impact of workplace bullying, I'm working with those individuals
who know that there's something better out there and they're wanting to achieve that
when it comes to the leadership, so I have many clients who are first time managers,
and trying to navigate the complexities of working with other managers and departments
and all the politics to help reduce the barrier so that their team can do the job that they
need to do.
Along with all those employee challenges that come along.
And I'm also working with really senior leaders, vice presidents, and C suite executives have
the same issues interprofessional collegial issues in high stakes environments where they
are trying to gain the cooperation and understanding of their team members to move projects forward.
So if you're wondering how that's gonna affect the channel, here, I just want to share, I'm
still going to be active on here creating content around nursing skills, anatomy, physiology,
pathophysiology, and pharmacology.
And anything else that comes up that I find relevant and interesting.
I'll still be posting here and I'll still be answering all of your comments.
I may have officially hung up the stethoscope, but I am still officially here for you.
Now if you're wondering what does coaching do, and maybe this would be something you'd
like to explore, I would be happy and delighted to have a one on one conversation with you.
I offer a free consultation just so we can talk about your goals, your challenges, how
you see moving forward to even identify if coaching would be the right next step for
you.
So there'll be a link here below where you can book a free call.
But let me tell you a little bit more about what coaching is.
Coaching is very different than therapy.
And I've been to therapy.
And I have to say, my experience of therapy is it's very much rooted in the past, trying
to connect problems of today to things that happened in the past and understand how I
got here, but coaching, it takes your passes information and we inform where we're going
What do we want in life?
What does fulfillment look like?
When I'm feeling stuck?
How do I get back to feeling balanced and aligned with my value so that the decisions
and choices I make Feel resonant, they feel like they're the right thing for me with out,
creating unnecessary drama.
So coaching is very much about what's happening now.
And what do we need to do to get where you want to go.
And for my personal journey, having been a target a workplace bullying, I did therapy
for many, many years, I took medications, I took stress leaves, and I will share with
you, I think those are all really needed band aids.
But I didn't find any of those modalities actually helped me in the relationship where
I was struggling.
And that was one of the reasons why I studied workplace bullying in my Master's of nursing.
It's because when I was targeted as a nurse, I didn't know, I didn't know what bullying
was, I didn't know how to deal with it.
I didn't know how to navigate the challenges that I was feeling.
And so after researching it, I became really passionate about the relationship part of
any workplace truly, but of course, in nursing is where my heart is.
And so I bring all of that information with me.
And I coupled that with the communication skills I have been teaching for several years.
Alongside with, I've done so much training in this area that when you partner with me,
you're getting somebody who not only understands workplace bullying, and communication skills,
like I have the skills that you haven't been taught in school, you also get someone who
understands human behavior.
So I offer disc assessments if you're interested in that.
I have studied psychological health and safety advisory, I have a psychological health and
safety advisor certificate.
I have also studied Positive Intelligence, abrasive leaders, ham with the boss whispering
Institute, and is there anything else I don't even know there's so much that I have studied
that is all focused around understanding those complexities, that when we are partnered,
you can be sure that you're going to get somebody who understands what you're going through
and can help you navigate it.
So that's my special sauce right now.
That's where I'm heading, I will still be on this channel producing content, likely
once a week, I'll kind of get back into that cadence here soon.
I've been a little bit sporadic in 2022, because I've been extremely focused on studying and
practicing the coaching skills.
And so now that I have my certification, I am accepting clients still, I mean, ongoing.
So if my roster is full, and you want to work with me put you on a waiting list.
So when you can get in, you can get in, but as of right now, I have opportunity to take
on some new clients.
So if you're curious, take a look, book a free consultation with me, let's have a conversation
and see how I can support you.
Now in addition to coaching, I am still continuing on to give keynotes and presentations at workshops
and conferences in 2023.
And my current keynote is gracefully addressing workplace bullying.
So if you're looking for somebody for your event, reach out, we can talk about how to
make that happen as well.
If your organization is looking for training and workshops around bullying, and how individuals
can step into their ownership and responsibility to be part of the solution, and you want to
give your employees some tools and actual scripts that they can use.
That is also something I'm continuing to do in 2023.
And I don't really see that stopping because my passion is making your work easier.
My mission is changing relationships, one conversation at a time.
And the importance of this is we are not taught any of this in school.
It's the stuff we need to learn on the ground.
And I want to be there with you journeying just like I did with my patients in the past,
walking with them on their own journey towards recovery.
I want to be with you whether we're upstream preventing or we're downstream, recovering,
that's where I want to be.
So feel free to message reach out and let me know how I can help you in those areas.
I'll put my email below and as always, make it a great day.
