Watson Caring Science Institute (WCSI) proudly announces its latest program — The WCSI Caritas Leadership Program™. This pilot, 6-month, online course was specifically developed for CNOs, Nurse Managers, and other Healthcare Leaders from Trinity Health and Mt. Carmel College.
Founder/Director Dr. Jean Watson and Course Director Sara Horton-Deutsch, worked with faculty to develop a unique, leadership program designed to engage in deep study and personal mastery of Caritas Leadership, guided by Caring Science literacy, and the 10 Caritas Processes® of Watson’s Theory of Human Caring. The participants will engage in monthly virtual learning circles with peers, guided by a WCSI Caritas Leader Faculty and includes visionary sharing by our Caring Science Leader Experts.
Who is it for?
This unique program is for hospital systems, nursing schools or other value/mission-driven organizations with a desire to develop their staff and implement authentic care and value systems of Caring Science within their workplace and beyond. As a WCSI Educational program, those completing receive an official ‘Caritas Leader’ designation.
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).
