Best wishes to the CHB Nursing Graduates 🎓 for your DCU Graduation. Proud day - Good luck in your nursing career Nursing-Connolly DCU Nursing, Psychotherapy & Community Health

Leading the way including our Year 2 Std.N’s in Final Journey Training - Great learning opportunities Nursing-Connolly & great leadership from our EOL Coordinator Rachel Mckeon #valuesofnursing DCU Nursing, Psychotherapy & Community Health #makeadifference Nursing and Midwifery Board of Ireland

If you want to change the culture, stop valuing one off engagement sessions, hierarchical permission seeking & those annual tick box processes

Be more authentic, consistently engage make kindness & check-ins regular. Make people feel visible & heard at all times

If we put in the same effort in culture as we do on performance & operational matters, we might make more progress

Why do we underestimate its value, confine it to a shiny strategy & treat it as fluffy?

If we want to improve then start by improving your organisation as a whole

Being present: Take it one step at a time. Focus on the now

It can feel overwhelming with the constant burden of things to juggle

Pace yourself & ask “What do I need to do right now?”
