LEARNING OBJECTIVES
This offering compares and contrasts transformational, transactional, and charismatic leadership and reviews the origins and value of transformational leadership. It takes the learner through the principles of human-centered leadership and the five principles of transformational leadership developed by Kouzes and Posner and applies them to daily leadership with actionable and behavioral leadership strategies for leading in transformative and inspiring ways.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
This offering explores the current makeup of the nursing workforce and the US population that we serve. It explores unconscious bias and microaggressions and the need to make what is unconscious conscious in order to promote inclusivity in deliberate, actionable, and welcoming ways, while embracing our own growth and journey.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
This offering addresses the elements of an effective team and the trust foundation upon which all aspects of effective teams are built.

Actionable steps are provided to help leaders build trust and empower teams in their honest debates and quest for best performance.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES

It compares engagement with both satisfaction (a complementary construct) and burnout (an opposing construct). It provides actionable steps that leaders can take to drive engagement, retention, and meaning among teams.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
This offering defines disruptive change and compares it to change that is incremental or behavioral. This offering addresses the drivers of change, the barriers to change, and the need for change to be led and managed in order for it to be successful. It addresses the roles of both culture and strategy in successful change implementation and sustainability.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
This offering defines resilience and the characteristics and behaviors associated with resilient individuals.

Learners explore how to understand their own style, styles of their colleagues, and how to best connect with all styles for effective collaboration.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
This session exposes both leaders and clinical nurses to the principles that support empowered professional teams and the making of decisions by those closest to the work. Unique skills required for both clinical nurses and leaders are reviewed. Operational structures are outlined to support group decision-making by clinicians within complex healthcare organizations.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
This offering explores burnout, compassion fatigue, and secondary traumatic stress in a design that allows the learner to compare and contrast these three related constructs. Each topic is outlined including causes, signs, symptoms, and effective countermeasures. The experience of nurse leaders and avoidance of burnout and compassion fatigue in their role is specifically addressed. A focus on what one can do individually brings home a personal toolbox for the learner.
