ABOUT SELINZA MITCHELL

Selinza Mitchell, licensed to practice nursing in 1982, has enjoyed a successful career, clinically specializing in Clinical Oncology and Medical Surgical Nursing. She is no stranger to health care as she spent eight hours a day five days a week for ten years as a volunteer, prior to entering nursing school at a major 500 bed hospital, where she found her purpose.

Ms. Mitchell, a middle child, who has always dreamt of being needed found what makes her heart beat, meeting the needs of others, from the birth of a new life, to the grace and dignity by which end of life care is given. Understanding the difference between “…don’t just do it but do it right.” Selinza found her passion, “You don’t just take care of the problem, you take care of the person.”

1990 she began participating in Service Excellence Courses for Customer Service Certification. The philosophy statement which says, ‘treat people the way you want to be treated’ takes a back seat to Ms. Mitchell’s motto “Treat others the way you want your loved ones treated.”

She is no avoider of the roller-coaster of emotional and challenging situations encountered over her 24 years as a clinical Oncology floor nurse for (what is now named) Baylor – All Saints Episcopal Hospital and The Tarrant County Hospital Districts ‘John Peter Smith Hospital.’ She understands the professional challenges and making a difference in the lives of individuals daily, as well as the art of embracing cultural diversity’s, the study of social science helped to determine and assess how to provide the best care for the total patient experience.

After becoming Chemotherapy certified and working at the Moncrief Radiation Center, she became an ever-greater asset to the care of her patients, understanding and participate in the whole process and the total care of the Oncology patient and the caregiver, which she enjoyed for just more than two decades.

SELINZA MITCHELL PROGRAMS & TOPICS

For the Best of My Life

The recovery from any addiction is one of life's greatest challenges. In this inspirational session participants take a walk through recovery: the healing, mending and revival. This begins with acknowledging that there is a problem, and learning how and why it all began? Life is a magnificent journey that begins with discovery, and in this we assess the footprints leading to solitude, recognition, abilities, and possibilities. We will learn the true value of becoming a Mentor and how life is to be enjoyed with deliberate intent. You too can Recapture, Regain and Renew Your Life!

The Drama Free Zone

There is a great deal of diversity in our professional environment from culture to generational differences, to expectations, and so on. We spend each day dealing with different pressures, stresses and demands which can present with so much drama that you find yourself traumatized. Drama occurs in handling of situations and can cause destruction of the environment and its culture. Drama can impede progress, cause hurt and deliver stress served on a platter. In this session we shall also take into consideration these perceptions; bullying, eating of the young, the passive aggressive disposition, gossiping, judgments, criticism, and syndical dispositions. We shall take this opportunity to reveal the nature of what drama brings to the table, define and identify drama, prevent it as well as resolve it, and progress towards reinventing a more desirable environment that will increase our productivity and improve our internal and external customer satisfaction because then we will have created 'A Drama Free Zone.'

Anatomy and Physiology of a Leader

It doesn't have to be lonely at the top or does it? Every day you conduct your symphony, you do it with a sense of pride and passion, how often do you leave feeling accomplished? It is amazing watching a Leader maneuver, direct, influence, guide, and inspire and that's just scratching the surface. Keeping in mind that spectators are watching every note played by your orchestra with the expectation of perfection. The Anatomy of a leader speaks to the traits that make a leader and the Physiology uncovers how this amazing leader functions. Leading is not an easy task, you hit the ground running each day never knowing what challenges to expect your world to produce today. Let's take a moment and marvel at the A&P of a Leader, because it doesn't always have to be lonely at the top.

Our Failure to Communicate

Communication is surely our most underused skill, it is not a matter of fact it is the critical element in every relationship and as we move further into our 21st century our communication challenges seem destined to increase. The intent of this interactive presentation is to reveal and stimulate your thinking – what are some reasons that we fail to communicate and learn some disadvantages of failing to evoke the three C's. We will enjoy a stimulating conversation all about communication discussing facts such as; it really is not what you say, it is more about how you say it, and silence can scream louder than words and why avoidance is so common. We will share the body's conversation (body language) – and how the eyes can sometimes have a lot to say. Communication or the lack there of can bring just as much harm as good, you get to decide because each day you will make a difference, but what kind "If you knew you could make a difference, what difference would it make?" ℠ communication is information - we live in an information world our patients, their care givers and our co-workers must be informed, it is critical to all of our sanity.

Delivering Bad News

‘Prognosis negative’ was the title of an old black and white movie I remember watching many years ago, all too often the movie comes true in the lives of those we serve. We change lives each and every day in one way or another, however, we do not have the luxury of choosing the results that we must sometimes share with our clients and their families or caregivers. There are times when our news brings a devastating blow that can knock the wind out of the strongest sail. This presentation shares the preparation and planning process assessing with a goal of providing helpful aids to allow all healthcare professionals to better deliver that which is referred to as “Bad News”.

The Healthcare Hall of Fame

This exciting interactive celebration of excellence will award and celebrate your amazing team while at the same time inspire them to take caring to the next level because good enough never has really been good enough. Team praise and accolades encourages us all to press toward the mark of excellence. Having an everyday goal of being someone’s hero and being successful at making a difference places you in the running for ‘Oscar winning performance’ which will place you in the Health Care Hall of Fame. During this presentation attendees will be in the running to be awarded with their very own “Oscar.” Yes all this just for your exceptional performance.
