2. This is me
I am a nurse, coach, manager and
improver.
I believe that to innovate and
improve we need to create cultural
conditions to do this.
I strive to be authentic and bring my
whole self to everything I do.
I create opportunities for people to
think differently, challenge the status
quo and increase awareness of our
collective potential.
