After not receiving pain medications for hours following open heart sugery, I felt a calling to help healthcare organizations overcome the challenges of providing high-quality healthcare. As the science of optimal human functioning has emerged, I realized that doctors, nurses and administrators could become high performers using Positive Psychology. I discovered the 6 PROPEL Principles that enable healthcare providers to achieve the highest levels of professional success and personal satisfaction.

Over 15 years of service at major academic medical centers and community hospitals has enabled me to help thousands of doctors, nurses and administrators work together to overcome their challenges. You can learn more about the science supporting PROPEL on my website - www.PROPELinstitute com. You will read about the stories of leaders, units and clinics who were able to achieve remarkable results in PROPEL to Quality Healthcare.

I've been fortunate to be a keynote speaker and workshop presenter at some of the world’s top healthcare organizations, including the Institute for Healthcare Improvement National Forum, International Positive Psychology Association World Congress, Magnet Recognition Program, American Organization of Nurse Executives, Sigma Theta Tau, and HeathStream’s Healthcare Summit.

My Master’s and Doctoral degrees in Psychology are from the California School of Professional Psychology. I've written a weekly newspaper column for the Capital Gazette newspaper chain for over 28 years.
