The Well-Being Coaching Initiative Delivers Results
The Well-Being Coaching Initiative (WBCI) doesn’t give nurses more to do, but empowers them to feel good about themselves and what they already do. Feeling good about yourself and what you do every day is the definition of Well-Being!
The Well-Being Coaching Initiative focuses on Self-Leadership, a skill Diane has been teaching and coaching nurses for 30 years. Going deeper than self-care, Self-Leadership is the relationship you have with yourself; how you prioritize, treat, and talk to yourself. Self-Leadership is so empowering because it teaches nurses how to make themselves a priority so they are more engaged and less stressed in their work and life.
