Tracy's Journey

“Today I am a charge nurse with SHN’s surgical department where I communicate assertively, know my strengths and weaknesses well, and trust my judgement.”

When Tracy began her nursing career, she was a skilled healthcare professional with a supportive team. Despite her expertise, Tracy doubted her abilities as a leader and struggled to speak openly with senior colleagues.

It wasn't until one of Tracy's managers recognized the behaviour, having come from a similar Asian heritage where showing respect and deference to elder community members was a common social practice.

Because of their shared lived experiences, the manager validated Tracy's connection to her Asian culture while encouraging her self-determination. This singular moment allowed both individuals to connect their journeys while creating a path forward for Tracy to become the leader she is today.
