Wilmington, NC -- Maureen Metzger is a nurse with a long history of accomplishments in the healthcare industry. She has an MSN and PhD and has worked as a clinician, educator and nurse researcher. She has expertise in direct patient care, curriculum development, leading research teams, and disseminating research results. But there is something else about her you wouldn't learn from her resume—that leadership changes, and the resulting shift in workplace culture at her last full-time job put Maureen at odds with the powers-that-be. It wasn't anything inside her, it was the way leadership lost sight of the purpose, values and mission of the institution. Maureen was let go from what she believed was her dream job. This unexpected and unwanted event led her to clarify her purpose, reevaluate her commitment to serve, and become a coach through iPEC (Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching) training. Today Maureen is more vital than ever, with a new purpose that makes her spring out of bed full of vigor. She is a certified professional coach, with clients that all seek her out for different reasons, some related to clinical expertise or education, others to make their organizational culture more people centric. You just never know which aspects of your background will resonate with someone Maureen says. ?As a coach, I don't walk in front of people and pull them along. Nor do I walk behind and push them along. Rather, I simply walk beside them, offering support and insights as they take their journey. And I always see the possibility in people.? Maureen loves to work with clinicians and people who feel called to serve. For more information about Maureen and her mission visit www.metzgercoaching.com
