Are you dealing with stress and overwhelm on a daily basis?
Does this sound like you?
- You are physically and emotionally exhausted and fed up with fire fighting and reactive meetings that seem to take up your whole day.
- Your energy is low and on your days off you just want to rest.
- You know that your diet and exercise is suffering, but you’re too tired to even tackle this right now.
- You are distracted in your home life as a result of always checking emails and being unable to switch off and leave work at work.
- You often feel pulled between the pressure to be at work and spending time with your children/family. Once at work you fully immerse yourself into caring for patients, you love your work. You get to work early and leave late as you don’t want to leave anything unfinished.
You know that you can’t continue like this.
Do you secretly wish:
- That you could just press pause for while?
- Lock your office door to finish the work that you have on your to-do list
- That you could have some protected reflection time for you and just you alone.
- That you could have a better social life and quality time with your friends?
- Have meaningful time with your family?
- Learn how to manage stress in the workplace?
If so, you’re in the right place.
I can help you understand who you are and how to contribute in a meaningful way without sacrificing yourself in the process.
Nurses and midwives are exposed to intense emotional and physical stress on a daily basis and as a result, are at high risk of becoming burnt out.
Did you know that personal resilience has seven components for every individual taking care of your emotional and physical health is only one part of your resilience? In order for you to become more resilient, you need to have balance in all seven areas;
- Living authentically
- Finding your calling
- Maintaining perspective
- Mastering stress
- Interacting co-operatively
- Staying healthy
- Building networks
You might be wondering how to know if I am the right person to help you
I have had personal experience of my resilience being depleted when my employment position was abolished following a financial re-structure, something that on a personal level I found really hard to deal with. The negative self-talk about age, skills and not being good enough were very challenging during this time.
I felt overwhelmed, lost, and the rejections were personal and painful. At this point, I found myself a coach and coaching changed my life literally.
Over time the coaching slowly helped me to see that I could use my skills, knowledge and experience in a different way. I started to see a light at the end of the tunnel and suddenly there was hope and the beginning of a journey of self-discovery that led me to become a coach to be able to help others in the same way that I had been helped.
My personal experience made me realise that there was a gap in support for nurses and midwives who might have been going through a similar experience to me. I considered myself to be a resilient person but my resilience was depleted as a result of my experiences.
I have a mission to make support available to new nurse managers so that you can learn the tools and techniques to help you stay positive, healthy and balanced so that you can give the best of yourself at work.
