Why I Coach Nurse Leaders

You entered leadership because you care deeply — about patients, about your team, about making a difference.
But you don’t have to sacrifice your well-being to lead effectively.

I’m Frances Gumienny. After decades as a Registered Nurse at the bedside, in staff development, and in management; also as a Licensed Professional Counselor, I’ve seen the hidden emotional costs of healthcare leadership. I’ve left positions because they were no longer a match to my values, passions, or my well-being. I sometimes wonder how my career path would have been different if I knew then what I know now.

That’s why I now focus on coaching Nurse Leaders: Helping you stay strong, balanced, and fulfilled — for the long run.

I combine the research-backed Positive Intelligence® mental fitness program with personalized coaching sessions, helping you:

• Reduce emotional exhaustion

• Manage stress with clarity

• Build leadership resilience

• Create lasting, healthy habits

You’ll learn how to lead with heart and strength—without burning out.
