On episode 499 of The Nurse Keith Show nursing and healthcare career podcast, Keith interviews Karen Steinbock, MBA, BSN, RN, ACC, a nurse who is also a leadership, career, and professional development coach. In the course of their conversation, Keith and Karen discuss many aspects of career development, including making the choice to step into leadership, creating a career that’s aligned with your personal values, and having overall more peace and less angst when it comes to your professional journey.

In her 20+ year career, Karen has pursued diverse roles in clinical care, military healthcare, quality improvement, leadership, talent development, education, and innovation.

She is convinced that finding meaning and fulfillment in work is less about specific skill alignment and more about exploring and recognizing who we are (and want to be) and then seeking and creating work that aligns with our values, strengths, priorities, and interests.

Karen earned an MBA from Colorado State University, a BSN from The University of Texas at Austin, and a Graduate Certificate in Executive and Professional Coaching from the University of Texas at Dallas. She is credentialed as an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) through the International Coaching Federation (ICF).
