Image Overlay NPDs in Executive Leadership Roles

In this episode of NPD Forecast, Launette Woolforde, EdD, DNP, RN, NEA-BC, NPD-BC, FAAN, shares her leadership expertise and advice gained through her decades-long journey working as a nurse leader and educator.

Listeners will learn about:

  • Dr. Woolforde’s early passion for new nurse orientees and preceptors and how this led to her becoming a nursing professional development practitioner;
  • Her long involvement in ANPD, from being an affiliate president, serving in the Scope & Standards work group, helping with the Journal for Nursing Professional Development, and serving on the board;
  • How she navigates her days, working collaboratively with executive leaders— to support 19,000 nurses;
  • How NPDs can learn “CNO-ese” and “CFO-ease” for improved communication and demonstrating value;
  • The trends Dr. Woolforde is seeing in the field, and how NPDs can support: from workforce development to preparing for a nursing shortage to recruitment/retention to virtual care nursing;
  • Advice for scaling the executive ladder
  • And so much more.
