I really must apologize to Chris about this podcast. We had a great conversation in January last year (2009). We met at the Canadian Nursing Association - Nursing Leadership Conference. She had a very interesting idea about how to engage with nursing staff. She works in public health who have their fingers on the pulse of what familes, clients and communities partners need form nursing leadership. Using the World Cafe approach she was able to engage and pull ideas from key stakeholders of her nursing practice. Below are the pictures of what resulted from this approach.

QUESTION

Have you seen any health promotion/prevention initiatives that you like, or thought were effective?

Does the idea of having a higher goal than just treating illness resonate with you?

Does it appeal to you, can you get engaged, or are you engaged?
