Nyoka Samuels: The Missing Link in Healthcare Leadership

In this episode of Founders Future, with host Olivia Sammons, Nyoka Samuels, founder of Nyoka Nicole Samuels Coaching and Consulting, shares her journey from over 20 years in healthcare—spanning bedside nursing to nurse education—into building a consulting business focused on transforming leadership and organizational culture. Through her experience, she recognized that healthcare doesn’t suffer from a lack of knowledge, but rather a gap in culture, where burnout, turnover, and lack of psychological safety continue to impact both staff and patient outcomes.She dives into her mission to empower healthcare organizations by developing nurse educators as strategic leaders who can influence both clinical excellence and workplace culture. Nyoka explains how she works with institutions to create supportive environments, strengthen teams, and drive long-term impact, while also navigating the challenges of building a niche consulting business, refining her messaging, and expanding her reach through community engagement and strategic partnerships.Connect with Nyoka Samuels:🔗 LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/nyoka-samuels-gilchrist/
