This course is for Leaders — Evolving, Living, Being, Becoming Caritas as persons and leaders, paving the way for self and others.

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.
Target audience: Executive Nurse Leaders (VP, CNE, CNO roles), Academic Clinical Professors and Educators.
Program Focus
Caritas Leaders® will:
- 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.
- Embrace Unitary Caring Science, intellectually and experientially, through the power of Caritas Leadership Circles.
- 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.
- Become more congruent in personal and professional life to develop a deeper sense of mastery of self… beyond roles.
- Envision, articulate, and translate one’s personal/professional ‘Ontology of Caritas Leadership’ toward organizational culture change.
- Establish a shared Caritas vision with others as a foundation for creating a collaborative community (‘communitas’) culture.
- Open to unexpected solutions that honor all ways of knowing, being, and becoming.
- Exercise cultural humility, allowing for multiple, diverse, experiences, points of view and different life patterns and beliefs.
- Access and use Caritas Leadership Circles for contemplation, and inner silence toward compassionate, critical, self-reflection.
- Experiment with Watson’s 7 Sacred Sutras™ … as an exemplar for connecting with Spirit, Mystery, Source (Caritas Process 10).
