This course is for Leaders — Evolving, Living, Being, Becoming Caritas as persons and leaders, paving the way for self and others. As this program grows it serves a larger purpose for human healthcare in and out of hospitals. We have created/co-created this program as a first, paving the way for a “New Story” for nursing and other leaders.
Jean Watson

The Caritas Leadership Program™️ has been developed for individuals and hospital systems, nursing schools or other value/mission-driven organizations with a desire to develop and implement authentic care and value systems of Watson's Caring Science within their workplace and beyond.

Program Focus

Caritas Leaders™️ will:

  1. Explore an evolved worldview of Unitary Caring Science as context for higher consciousness of leadership – informed by a value, philosophy, ethic and ontology of ‘belonging’, connectedness and relations.
  2. Embrace Unitary Caring Science, intellectually and experientially, through the power of Caritas Leadership Circles.
  3. Engage in the 10 Caritas Processes® as a foundation for ontological leadership practice as a guide toward ‘being-in-right-relation’ with self/other/organization.
  4. Become more congruent in personal and professional life to develop a deeper sense of mastery of self… beyond roles.
  5. Envision, articulate, and translate one’s personal/professional ‘Ontology of Caritas Leadership’ toward organizational culture change.
  6. Establish a shared Caritas vision with others as a foundation for creating a collaborative community (‘communitas’) culture.
  7. Open to unexpected solutions that honor all ways of knowing, being, and becoming.
  8. Exercise cultural humility, allowing for multiple, diverse, experiences, points of view and different life patterns and beliefs.
  9. Access and use Caritas Leadership Circles for contemplation, and inner silence toward compassionate, critical, self-reflection.
  10. Experiment with Watson’s 7 Sacred Sutras© … as an exemplar for connecting with Spirit, Mystery, Source (Caritas Process 10).
