Program Overview
Transform the newly licensed nurse experience from one of survival to one of professional fulfillment by equipping clinical leaders with practical coaching skills that drive retention. Through a focused progression—Build Trust Fast, Coach What Matters, and Coach to Retain—this program prepares leaders to strengthen relationships, lead meaningful conversations, and create the conditions that keep nurses engaged and committed to the profession.
Leaders will learn to foster a culture of belonging by building trust quickly, and creating psychologically safe environments where all nurses, especially those from underrepresented groups, feel supported and valued. By focusing on what matters most in everyday interactions, leaders will develop the ability to navigate complex situations, recognize and respond to emotional needs, and hold purposeful conversations that drive growth and accountability.
As leaders embed coaching into their daily practice, they will support nurses in shaping sustainable careers by helping them manage competing demands, set boundaries, and create the flexibility needed to thrive. The result is stronger engagement, greater resilience, and a more stable, committed clinical workforce.
