049: From Lifeguard To Nursepreneur With Rory Tanner

From Lifeguard To Nursepreneur

Are you feeling stuck in your career? Are you looking for a change, but don't know where to start? Don't worry, you're not alone. Making a career change can be scary, but it's also an exciting adventure. 

In this week’s episode of High Performance Nursing, I have a fascinating conversation with Rory Tanner, a lifeguard turned nurse and educator. Rory owns multiple education businesses and is very passionate about ADHD, personal development, mindset, psychology, technology & software.

According to Rory, focusing on what you like and what you want is very important, especially when jumping from one career to another. It’s also essential to have a clear picture of what you want to achieve. Once you know what you want, the next step is finding a tribe or community that can help support your journey.

After all,  making a career change is not just about acquiring new skills, but it's also about mindset, personal development, and relationships. If you're feeling stuck in your career, or if you're considering making a change, I hope this conversation with Rory Tanner inspires you to take that leap of faith.
