Sharon convinced her husband, Mike, to be a guest co-host on the show while visiting the mid-year assembly in Washington D.C, and they are joined by former Chief of the Aurora (Illinois) Police Department Kristen Ziman. She wrote a book about her experiences – good and bad – in the law enforcement profession and the leadership lessons she learned. You’ll be surprised by how many parallels there are between her career and the careers of CRNAs and this episode will have some powerful messages to share.    Here are some of the things you’ll learn on this show: A little background on her experience in law enforcement that led to her writing a book and becoming a speaker. 4:11 What she feels are the core tenets of leadership. 8:16 Finding your purpose each day to make yourself feel proud. 13:16 How to become a disruptor in your profession to help improve the culture. 16:13 Why it’s important to allow members of your team to be vulnerable. 23:21 The three things that drive human performance. 30:23 The greatest freedom we have is to choose the way we respond to a specific stimulus. 35:20 The importance of surrounding yourself with a ‘personal board of directors.’ 43:33   Support Team Emma Kate Brekken: https://grouprev.com/HALOSWALK2023-grant-brekken  About our guest: https://kristenziman.com/ Visit us online: http://beyondthemaskpodcast.com  Get the CE certificate here: https://beyondthemaskpodcast.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/Beyond-the-Mask-CE-Cert-FILLABLE.pdf
