Spent the day facilitating a Vision, Mission, Values & Standards of Practice workshop with a local healthcare team, and it was such a positive day.

We worked through what excellence looks like for their organization, the experience they want patients to have, the values that guide how they work together, and the practical standards that can help bring all of that to life across every point of the patient experience.

I always enjoy this kind of work because it gives teams the chance to step out of the day-to-day for a bit, have thoughtful conversations, and get really clear on what they want people to experience from their organization.

A really engaged and passionate group who already had a strong foundation to build on.

I also joked that I may need to come back in disguise as a secret shopper to see how those standards are holding up. 🥸 Until next time…

Thrilled to be a part of this group’s annual corporate mental wellness week! They wanted something fun, energizing, and an opportunity to step out of the day to day. Through a series of team challenges, this competitive group shared lots of laughs and made lasting memories ☺️

I recently facilitated an employee retreat focused on change, coping, and connection.

In roles where people are consistently using their mental and emotional energy to support others, having time away from the day-to-day to reset and reconnect can be really beneficial.

There’s a concept in the profession of psychotherapy called the safe and effective use of self — the idea that how we show up matters, and that we need to have something in the tank to be able to support others well. It’s not always talked about in workplace settings, but it’s a useful way to think about sustainability in people-focused roles.

Always appreciate the opportunity to do this work.

If you’re interested in hosting a retreat, incorporating a wellness-focused activity into your next employee event, or building staff capacity and resiliency, feel free to reach out by email or visit my website to learn more.

I really let my Gold personality shine while facilitating a virtual True Colors® session with this banking senior leadership team as part of their 2026 strategic planning session.

The timing couldn’t have been better — as this group defined its goals and priorities for the year ahead, we explored how each leader’s unique strengths and blind spots shape the way they communicate, make decisions, and influence their teams.

The True Colors model helps leaders:
🟦 Recognize and leverage their natural leadership style
🟨 Understand where their blind spots may impact collaboration or engagement
🟧 Adapt their approach to better connect with their team members and clients
🟩 Build alignment and trust to successfully execute strategic goals

It was inspiring to see this team lean into self-awareness and open dialogue — both essential ingredients for effective leadership and sustainable culture change.

I had the opportunity to facilitate Mental Health First Aid training for a team of dedicated professionals working in one of the most safety-conscious industries — keeping our communities powered, connected, and supported every day.

In this line of work, physical safety is always a top priority. But just as important is psychological safety — knowing how to recognize when a co-worker might be struggling, how to have a supportive conversation, and where to connect them with help.

That’s what Mental Health First Aid is all about. It gives employees and leaders the tools to respond with confidence and compassion when someone is experiencing a mental health challenge or crisis.

I’m always inspired by organizations that recognize that mental health is part of workplace safety. When employees feel supported, everyone benefits — from teamwork and morale to the quality of service delivered to customers.

If your organization is committed to safety and wellbeing, this training is an essential investment in your people.

Let’s make mental health part of the safety conversation. 💬
