My next guest is an RN and Founder of Next Level Nursing, Jenney Floyd! She is a Registered Nurse with 10 years of experience in SICU and ER. She’s been a charge nurse, team lead, and preceptor. She’s a great nurse… actually, she’s a fantastic nurse.  But she spent the last year hating her job. She LOVED being a nurse, just hated her job.  So she made some changes and she learned some things along the way. She made a solid decision that she was not going to spend another second unhappy in her career. Now, she’s laser focused on the next level of her nursing career. Jenney Floyd is the founder of Next Level Nursing which is an organization that elevates, educates, and empowers nurses to be the best that they can be at the bedside. She holds conferences for nurses that are designed to not only educate, but also to CELEBRATE nurses. In fact, she has one coming up October 14-15th and the lineup is amazing. ALSO—if you want to attend the Next Level Nursing Conference, they are doing a drawing to give away a companion pass if you register by September 16th. So, jump on it!  This conference is $129.00 for two full days of eating, drinking, and learning on the San Antonio River Walk.

I’m so, so excited to introduce you to my next guest, Jane Finette!Jane is the Founder and Executive Director of The Coaching Fellowship, a  nonprofit organization dedicated to the development of young women leaders in  social change.

According to the World Economic Forum,  women lost 36 years of progress in 2020 alone, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  That's an entire generation lost.  We are living in a world where women still need to fight for access to capital,  voice, opportunity, skills, and more. Yet, once unlocked, women hold the key to  realizing the true potential of our global society. Author Jane Finette’s debut  book, Unlocked - How Empowered Women Empower Women, is a collection of  real-world short stories that highlight impactful accounts of incredible female  leaders working to propel women and girls forward. Part inspiration, part  practical guide, Unlockeddemonstrates how these pioneers are creating  lasting change, and how you can apply their trailblazing lessons to your own life. Finette’s expert insights show that, although the problems and challenges can  seem insurmountable, positive global change is fueled every day by women  everywhere. Unlocked was written to encourage and empower women to take  action into their own hands, and to reach gender equality in their lifetimes. When we lift another woman, we all rise!   You can reach Jane Finette in the following locations:  Website:  https://janefinette.com Twitter:  https://twitter.com/janefinette LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/janefinette/   To purchase Jane’s Book Unlocked: Website: https://tcfs.org/  Amazon:  https://www.amazon.com/Unlocked-How-Empowered-Women-Empower/dp/1636767427
