In partnership with

Welcome to The Bold Brief—

You are a member of this community of top-notch expert nurses and healthcare professionals who aspire to be “bold” in career and life.

We want to be bold in our life’s purpose, and bold in life and career choices so that we can live with authenticity, balance, and meaningful challenges, driving forward with confidence.

Exciting week! Amazing Sponsor. New Series. Free Resources!

So, bold by association…

A Season of Possibilities

Over the next few months, doors are opening. Opportunities are everywhere- - - if you know where to look and how to act when they appear. Professional associations, industry conferences, conventions, and exhibits are the gateways to influence, innovation, and possibility. They are where careers shift, collaborations form, and bold decisions are made.

That’s why I’ve created this series Bold by Association, a repeat training series starting next week.

I will bring you the inside strategies for making the most of your professional memberships and attending events so you can:

• ✨ Build powerful connections with intention

• ✨ Identify hidden life and career opportunities that others miss

• ✨Leverage your association and memberships to accelerate your career and leadership path

• ✨ Gain access to resources you did not know existed!

Why This Training Series Matters!

As a consultant, educator, innovator, as well as Board Member and Treasurer for my favorite nursing association, I have firsthand experience how involvement in nursing and non-nursing professional associations can transform careers.

This fall, I will be attending several major conferences and exhibits across nursing, healthcare innovation, and leadership. You will get the insider lessons and strategies so you can apply what I’m sharing to your own life and career.

Think of this series as your Personal Backstage Pass to:

• Strategic networking insights

• Personal branding opportunities

• Entry-level and Leadership pathways

• Innovation-driven trends shaping healthcare

And, if you have never had the chance to attend a conference in-person or virtually, or a non-nursing trade show - you have so much to learn so that you maximize your time, efforts, and $$. This series will be packed with resources!

Get Involved Early with POV Catalyst

I always want The Bold Brief to feel like a conversation, not a lecture. Point of View (POV) Catalyst is a interactive feature in The Bold Brief designed to spark conversation and put your perspective at the center.

POV Catalyst will help you to:

1. Engage: Share your perspective and learn from others.

2. Grow: Practice bold thinking in real-world scenarios.

3. Connect: Build a sense of community through collaboration and exchange with 11,000+ Bold Brief subscribers.

I will share a real-world scenario, or something you might face at a conference, in a leadership meeting, during a networking event, or in your career. Then, I’ll ask one bold question for your to respond to.

POV Catalyst starts today:

📌 What’s your biggest challenge when attending conferences or association events? Starting conversations? Standing out in a crowded room? Following up afterward?

📌 Or maybe you’ve had a breakthrough experience at an event a conversation or introduction that changed your career path.
