Jenn Mills MSN, RN NE-BC Nursing Director

We were fortunate to send three nurses to "You're Willing to Lead". All have shared how great the program was, they appreciated Stacy and Sara's experience, they could certainly relate to the communication challenges that we see frequently with rotating teams and novice clinicians. I have two additional staff attending the next session and hope there will be additional opportunities in the future.

I really enjoyed being in a smaller group rather than a large group. Although we had quite a few nurses it was not a big overwhelming crowd. I felt comfortable speaking openly and honestly. I really like the breakout session as well. I learned so much about my peers and it was refreshing to see that they deal with some of the exact issues we deal with, whether it was a med surg RN, ICU RN or an Attending RN.

What stuck out the most was the topic of emotional neutrality and that is something will continue to work on- the class gave me the tools to be successful with that. Also gaining perspective was a huge factor for me and choosing the best way to approach a challenging situation. I will use these tools every day I work!

I hope you guys at Canopy Consultants will host another class at some point- I would love to take it!

I thought the first two sessions were excellent and far exceeded my expectations.  I have been in a leadership role for the better part of 30 years, and I still felt that the information was very relevant.  Stacy and Sara are excellent facilitators, and they offer very helpful suggestions.  The content is presented in a format that makes it easily understandable, and it builds upon itself to continually connect theory to practice.  The group exercises are done in a way that made them enjoyable and very helpful to solving or working on real issues that we are dealing with. 

And, not related to the classes themselves, is the fact that I really enjoyed meeting my colleagues.  I have seen all of them in so many meetings, but I have never met any of them in person.  This has been a very nice bonus!

Novice Nurse Director- Attendee

Outstanding sessions with great content. Facilitation by Sara and Stacy added so much, as they have “been in it” (understand our organization, Nurse Director role and challenges we talk about). Also really enjoyed connection with my colleagues-  validating to see they have similar issues/concerns and I am not alone. The opportunity to strengthen relationships with fellow Nurse Directors is a huge plus.
