Like the healer she is, Karen Wade refreshingly gives to the world a gift for healing on all levels with wisdom she brings love and light for healing not only to the (individual) person, but creates ripples out to our time-honored profession and to the world.

Amazon Book Reviewer

Articulate and direct, the author opens her own expertise as a nurse as well as her personally excruciating moments without getting stuck there. Instead she uses these experiences as tinder for her creative, compassionate brilliance in producing a real handbook brokered by experience, education, research and a pragmatic format.
Amazon Book Reviewer

This book is a beautiful gift. Accessible, straightforward and a wonderful balance of research, guidance and insight based on vast experience. The tools available here can be helpful in many professions, particularly those that are demanding, heartfelt and service-oriented.
Amazon Book Reviewer

This book offers a positivity-based approach in life, both in the professional and personal arenas. Karen Wade connects with the reader and her compassion is clearly evident throughout the book.

SUPPORT FOR HEALTHCARE LEADERS

 

Karen has written a short survival guide for healthcare leaders who are concerned about the exodus of nurses and other clinicians from their facilities.

From the book:

“Even if you landed in your role in the middle of a crisis with people you barely know and have no pre-existing playbook, this book is designed to help you determine a place to start and actions and steps to take toward getting a handle on your situation and bringing along the people you need to help you.

My promise is that the content of this book will have you saying, with great relief, I  have a plan to finally get a practical version of transformational leadership off the ground, and I am confident I can lead and keep my team.”
