In this episode Nurse Manager Stephen Jensen joins host Wayne Schwass for an insightful conversation on the role of vulnerability and acceptance in leadership. Drawing from his personal and professional journey, Stephen shares how leaning into vulnerability has helped him build trust, deepen team connections, and normalise mental health conversations in a demanding clinical environment.
