ABOUT YOUR COACH
Katie Stephens, DNP, RN, NEA-BC, Caritas Coach®
Co-Founder & Principal
I am Katie Stephens, a seasoned nurse leader with a deep-rooted passion for inspiring, challenging, and mentoring others. My journey in healthcare leadership has been driven by the belief that true leadership should extend beyond a select few at the top. In my experience, organizations thrive when responsibility, control, and decision-making are encouraged at all levels — especially at the point of care where the work is being done.
With two decades of experience in Magnet and nursing leadership, my mission is to empower nurse leaders at every stage of their journey — whether you're a new leader or an experienced one, my coaching philosophy revolves around the belief that leadership development is an ongoing and personalized process.
My goal is to equip you with the skills, mindset, and strategies necessary for personal and professional excellence. Together, we'll explore your goals, crafting your unique roadmap to success — be it personal fulfillment, academic achievement, or career advancement.
Outside of coaching, I am committed to research, publishing educational content, and advancing the conversation around nursing excellence.
I'm genuinely excited to partner with you on your path to excellence, helping you to grow, thrive, and have a lasting impact on individuals, health systems, and society. Together, we'll unlock your full potential.
