Flourish Launch Event
Join author Kate Greenstock for the launch of Flourish – a practical and emotional guidebook to thriving in midwifery.
Guests will be welcome to chat to Kate about Flourish and purchase the book for themselves or to donate to a local midwife at Kingston Hospital. Guests will receive a complimentary welcome glass of Prosecco. Kate will be reading from the book at approx 7.15pm.
This is a free event but registration is required.
You might be a newly qualified or early career midwife facing the challenges of finding your voice as well as your feet. Maybe you’re an established midwife but feel as though you have lost your way – and with it the energy to reshape either yourself or the environment you work in. Perhaps you’re a team leader seeking to find the vocabulary to connect with your team, acknowledge what they might be feeling and reach out for resources and tools to support them to thrive, reflect and grow.
As a guidebook, Flourish is a tour of discovery that reveals how ‘standard’ maternity environments and practices might be impacting you personally, and then invites you to reconnect with the core of your personality and purpose. You’ll recognise more clearly the realities of trauma exposure, burnout, compassion fatigue and moral injury, and explore what’s really needed for psychological safety. You’ll choose from an array of exercises to practice living well in the day to day, and you’ll find a way back ‘home’, to a place where your sense of motivation for being a midwife is rekindled – a place where you can reconnect to your values, strengths and your unique voice. Once there, you will be able to make real, rich choices about your life and your career.
Kate Greenstock is a distinctive combination of practising midwife and coach, bringing the flavours of both: reality and possibility; rawness and hope.
