The results speak for themselves: higher patient satisfaction, improved care quality, greater job satisfaction among staff, reduced turnover and decreased turnover over time. This framework is not just a quick fix; it's a sustainable solution for long-term success.

I facilitate brainstorming sessions with your frontline staff to develop actionable solutions to reduce wasted time and interruptions. This collaborative process ensures the interventions are practical and relevant to your team's daily experience.

I will train your team how to shadow clinicians over several shifts, capturing real-time data on their tasks and how much time is spent on each activity. This data provides crucial insights into inefficiencies that impact patient care and clinician workflow.

After gathering the initial data gathered by your group, I'll present it to your team, highlighting areas where time is wasted. This is the foundation for brainstorming solutions tailored to your department's needs.

Your team will implement the agreed-upon interventions for two weeks, allowing time for the new processes to take effect. This hands-on approach empowers your staff to take control of their workflow improvements.

Your trained team will repeat the same-time motion observations to assess how much wasted time has been removed (typically 1-3 hours). These improvements are reinvested in bedside patient care, leading to safer and more effective treatment.

The Sacred Vocation Program is for healthcare professionals who feel disconnected from the purpose and passion that once fueled their careers. It’s ideal for those experiencing compassion fatigue, burnout or a diminished sense of fulfillment in their roles. Whether you're a nurse, physician or allied health professional, this program offers a supportive path to rediscovering the deeper "why" behind your work, empowering you to reignite your commitment to compassionate care and reconnect with the impact you make every day.

The program is intended for in person participation. The cohorts are up to 12 participants and in order to ensure confidentiality and an environment of psychological safety, we meet in person at the organization's designated location.

The Sacred Vocation Program is a transformative experience for healthcare workers facing compassion fatigue and burnout, designed to help them reconnect with the deeper meaning in their work. Through five engaging sessions—focusing on discovering meaning, identifying healing and harmful interactions, creating coping strategies, and crafting a personal Sacred Vocation Oath—participants rediscover joy and fulfillment in their roles. The program concludes with a graduation ceremony where graduates recite their oath before their leaders, gaining recognition within the organization for their commitment to purposeful, compassionate care.
