Title : The Heart of Effective Leadership Is About “Being Your Best You"
Abstract:
The key to effective leadership begins and ends with who we are BEing in our relationship with ourselves ... period! If our collective voice as nurses is not being heard, we are then being asked to look for a deeper meaning of why this is happening, and to consider being open to new strategies and tools to address the underlying issues. In any relationship, when one is not being heard, it is often due to the way information is being shared, the language used, and unconscious behaviors being presented. Join Ilene as she offers a different perspective on an ageold relationship issue, "why aren't they hearing me?" and a tool from the ancient Hawaiians, Ho'oponopono, that may just be the answer to addressing the underlying issues on the conscious and subconscious levels of awareness. Ho’oponopono is a problem-solving process which is composed of three elements: repentance, forgiveness, and transmutation. Ho’oponopono is effective in clearing the root cause of virtually any problem, issue or challenge including those that are connected to the collective energy of our Nursing profession. If you can say “I love you” or “Thank you” this process can be an effective tool to support us all in being powerful leaders with a “pioneering spirit”
