Manage episode 460050166 series 3447218
Camille Brockett, DNP, FNP-BC, AGACNP is a Clinical Associate Professor at the Nell Hodgson-Woodruff School of Nursing and the Interim Specialty Director for the Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner program. In this episode, Camille talks about her journey into academia (from senior clinical instructor through to a ranked faculty member) and how serving as an education leader requires skills that are a combination of leadership, mentorship, and collaboration in order to support both faculty and students. Her words of wisdom include "leadership, to me, is less about managing tasks and more about really connecting with people, whether those people are students, faculty, colleagues, and really just creating a sense of trust and collaboration among the people that you are leading. Taking the time to listen and understand what the needs are of the people that you're leading. So you can be an effective leader, you just don't want to be a leader in name, but you really want to be effective.", "don't forget to take care of yourself and also giving yourself grace. Not everything is going to work out perfectly all the time, all at once and as you want it. You want to be able to celebrate small wins, learn from your setbacks, and also trust that you are truly making a difference." and "Don't be afraid to use your voice. I think it's really easy for that imposter syndrome to take root sometimes in us, and just know that you are in a particular space at a particular time for a reason, right? Nothing is happenstance, and this is just my belief. And that you have something to offer, never feel like you have to prove yourself to someone or you have to change courses in order for someone to see you. Just stay the course. Do the best that you can be, know that you are worthy, you bring value to the table, and just be authentic to who you are and people will connect to that".
