Based on Diane’s bestselling book of the same title (LifeLine Press, 2002), this is her most popular keynote to show you how to stay out of the emergency room of life! With humor injected stories from the emergency room, audiences come away from this upbeat and high energy program with a renewed energy and enthusiasm for self care by learning how and why to say no; triage their daily activities; eliminate the energy drainers; use OPT (other people’s time and energy); eliminate excuses, and most importantly commit to action!
Attendees leave this program saying, "You were speaking directly to me today. How did you know?” and “WOW. I really got a wake-up call”. This unique and thought-provoking program will allow you to be more productive, effective and authentic in every area of your life with a greater work/life balance! Perfect for opening your conference to set the tone of appreciation and self-care, or to end your conference with a bang and an “I can do it!” attitude.
Based on Diane’s newest, soon to be published book, this candid and humorous keynote offers practical and straightforward tools to help you find your voice and speak your truth in every area of your life. Diane uses self-revealing assessments, concrete strategies, and real-life examples to show women how to take care of what is most important: themselves.
Diane will help you rediscover who you are and who you have always been, from the inside out—not by focusing on getting more done, but by demonstrating how to break free of old fears, insecurities, and destructive patterns and belief systems that cause you to lose your voice. In this high energy and interactive program you will learn how to listen to your inside voice, speak your truth out loud, and trust yourself to live it!
Perfect for Women’s, Healthcare, and Wellness Conferences. Empowered attendees leave this program saying, “I know exactly what I need to go home and do” “ I never realized how angry I was until today” “Thank you for being so vulnerable because you allowed me to be vulnerable too”
Do you remember when you first decided to become a nurse? For most, the decision was a defining moment—not only for you, but for every hand you have held, every brow you have wiped and every tear you have shared with patients and their families since. Still, short staffing, increased acuities and complexities of care provide daunting challenges for nursing leaders everywhere. Let Diane challenge and inspire you to reclaim your passion and pride for nursing so that you can continue to inspire your staff, your peers and most importantly, yourself!
With the transitions we are all facing in this “new normal” of healthcare, we can find our ourselves living with a lot of fear, uncertainty, and chaos, trying to do more, better, faster-with less. Whatever place your nurses are in right now—understaffed, overwhelmed, stressed out or burned out, now is the perfect storm to go from chaos to calm.
