Welcome to Coffee Conversations with Dr Karen

Good day, friend. I want to welcome you to my blog. This is my first blog, and I feel honored that you have taken time out of your busy day actually to read my blog 🌹.

The reason for my blog is to inspire ordinary people to do extraordinary things.

Yes, I know it's a real cliché 😱, but I want to remind each one of you, each one of us, who sometimes feel disheartened, who sometimes feel without hope, who sometimes feel that we are not good enough… to realize that there is an inspirational leader in each one of us🔥.

Each one of us can make a difference every day.
I invite you to join me for an inspirational Coffee Conversation every Friday ☕.

Sometimes, we will discuss leadership, sometimes we will discuss nursing and healthcare, and sometimes we will discuss life in all its facets 🤷‍♀️.

But first, before I continue, I must put it out there.
I'm just an ordinary girl 👩.
I'm a mom with three kids 👧 👨👧.
I'm divorced.
I'm a nurse 👩‍⚕️.
I'm a manager 👩‍💼.
I'm a leader.
I'm an academic 👩‍🎓.
I love all kinds of work.
I'm a friend.
I'm a sister.
I'm a quilter 🪡🧵.
I'm just an ordinary girl 👩.

But I had opportunities and people on my path who were the wind under my wings and saw potential in me that I hadn't seen in myself. They inspired me and challenged my thinking to grow, develop, and become what I am today 🦸‍♀️.

My aim with this blog is to be the wind under your wings…

To challenge your thinking…

To challenge your self-belief…

To challenge the impact you are making in your world…

and to challenge the appreciation and the pat-on-the-back you give yourself.

I look forward to you joining me for our first Coffee Conversation on Friday, 2 February.

Get your coffee ☕ and pop in!

Dr Karen Nel 🌹
