Why this matters...
We know what it’s like spending too much time and energy dealing with unprofessional conduct. As a front line leader, you have more important work to do.
Tell me if this sounds like you.
I know that worry because that was my life many years ago when I was a front line leader.
On my second day as a manager, I knew I had made a big mistake. The 75 employees I was now in charge of were some of the most unprofessional humans I had ever encountered. And, I had no idea how to deal with them.
In the 14 months I held that job, I went through more stress than I’ve encountered in my life, before or since. During that time, I left my husband of 18 years and went through what, in retrospect, I consider a nervous break-down.
Nobody had warned me.
Nobody equipped me.
For 10 years following my decision to quit my job as unit manager, I was sure I was a failure. Then I got older and wiser and realized that I wasn’t a failure. I just wasn’t equipped. Since then, I’ve devoted my life to making sure leaders are equipped to address workplace bullying and incivility so that NOBODY ever feels like a failure, like I did.
Over the years, I’ve learned that creating a healthy work environment is possible when leaders are equipped with the essential skills required to set behavioral expectations and hold their employees accountable.
I never want you to go through the nightmare I went through in my early career. I vow to do everything I can to help you and other healthcare leaders avoid this.
Why? Because the way we treat each other MATTERS.
YOU…MATTER!
Whether you’re a healthcare leader in an inpatient or ambulatory care setting or a non-nurse leader in a healthcare setting, this eCourse will equip you with the skills and tools you need to eradicate bullying and incivility.
Let’s get started!
At HWI, we’re on a mission to create a world where disruptive behaviors are immediately rejected and kindness, respect, and professionalism become the new norm. Based on strong evidence and 10 years worth of research, we equip leaders and their teams with the practical skills and tools they need to cultivate and sustain a professional and respectful workforce culture.
We are here to help.
