What is the purpose of revisiting this episode and how does it set the stage for the conversation?
Well, hello there friends. This week we're taking a trip into the podcast vault and bringing back a previous episode that, you know what, deserves another listen. Here's the deal. I know many of you are new to the podcast and may have missed some of these earlier conversations. And for those of you who have been with me for a while, first of all, thank you. You might be surprised what stands out to you the second time around. It's just like, you know, when I read a book, like, Oh my God, this is so great, and then I put it aside. And then the following year I read it again, like, Oh my gosh, like I got even more out of it the second time around and Okay, sometimes the third and fourth time around. The key is you always pick up something else, the second, third, maybe fourth time you listen, read, or watch something.
So the best insights, as you know, tend to age well. And this episode is packed with practical. takeaways that you can put into practice right away. So enjoy this throwback and I'll see you back here next week with a brand new episode. And as always, be kind, take care, and stay connected.

And I I want to share with our audience something that's really special about you. So I was having a coaching call with one of the nurses at Jefferson Health. And she was talking about really wanting to be a better leader. And she didn't know. She was asking me advice on you know, it's so generic, kinda like, How can I be a better leader? And I said, Well Who do you admire as a leader? Who do you aspire to be? And she said Kate Fitzpatrick. And then I said, what is it about Kate that you admire?
And then she gave me a list. And it's that you listen to people, you connect with people, you take your time and you make people feel valued and heard. And I thought, oh my gosh, this is so wonderful. And I know you've done so much work. in healthcare, really trying to cultivate healthy professional work cultures that again, I've been so excited to to have you on the show and for our audience to learn from you. So thank you for all of your amazing work, Kate.

You despite lots of things that probably have complicated the journey, you've been steadfast in Your mission to help other people, other organizations, nurses everywhere, figure out how we can do it better. So I I just want to thank you sincerely.
Well, it's a love fest. Okay. I and I I really enjoy talking to leaders like you and appreciate uh your kind words. And I never thought of it that way, but yes, I am a warrior. Okay, really on this stunning to, you know, uh uh cultivate a healthy work culture and help leaders do that. So I want to tell you a little bit more about Kate.
