Can women succeed as positive leaders and remain true to their optimistic values?
Just follow Susan Clarke around for one day, and you will see that the answer is Yes, We Can!Women’s Law of Attraction Solutions is pleased to acknowledge the ground breaking work of Susan Clarke, of Espanola, Ontario, Canada, with this Yes, We Can! Recognition.
From “I have a dream”, to “We have a dream!”
Susan Clarke, Diabetes Nurse Educator and Telemedicine Coordinator, is an experienced Registered Nurse who has been caring for patients at the
Espanola General Hospital
for over 30 years, helping the sick, the frail, and people of all ages in need of acute care and emergency care. A few short years ago, she accepted the challenge of launching a branch of the
Ontario TeleMedecine Network
(<< click there to go directly to Susan's From Soup to Tomatoes launch video), simultaneously with the building of a new
Northern Diabetes Health Network
Diabetic Education program as part of services at the Espanola & Area Family Health Team, for this small community on the beautiful North Shore of Lake Huron. A key characteristic of positive leaders, is that they are skilled at maintaining optimistic Attention, Energy and Focus on the goal at hand. Though this success strategy has recently been revived and made mainstream under the term law of attraction, no one had to give Susan a copy of The Secret for her to understand the principles. She instinctively Knew that what she needed to do was possible, and she Decided to apply her Energy there. And Susan took it one step further by making her dream contagious. As often happens once one has begun taking Action in the direction of one’s dreams, helpful events, people and resources began to manifest. A patient she was working with gave her a wonderful idea. The patient, who was attending Susan’s innovative exercise program for people living with diabetes, told her that her goal was to one day go from soup to tomatoes, meaning the exercise program was helping her so much, that she would one day be able to perform the movements with the larger and heavier tomato cans in hand instead of the small soup cans. Moved and inspired by this patient’s attitude, Susan continued overcoming obstacles and advancing toward her goal, relentlessly pursuing a plan to grow the Diabetic Education program, helping more people and really making a difference in the lives of her community members living with diabetes. People living with diabetes often struggle with exercise, and subsequently see amazing results in their health improvement once they begin regular lifelong daily exercise. In less than three years, the popular, effective, free program had to move to larger quarters, and is now live online. Read about the program’s supporting partners and team, in the
Mid North Monitor’s detailed story
on the live launch of Susan’s From Soup to Tomatoes, now available on the video network, online. Many partners collaborated and contributed to the success of this community health effort, and are mentioned in the Monitor article.
Staff writer Sherry Becket shares: “The benefits are astronomical; those who are house bound, or who are in remote areas and deal with extreme winter weather, and those with restricted finances, can still be part of the exercise family. This is a boon for communities in the far North, as well as our southern neighbours.” Though many community partners, as well as provincial agencies(1) teamed up with Susan to make this program a reality for the patients now benefiting from it, this innovative initiative would not have come to be a reality without the drive of this determined and optimistic leader. Everywhere, new and late career nurses are going above and beyond the call of duty, optimistically doing good with what they know, as positive leaders. Congratulations Susan, and all your team partners in this wonderful venture!
