In this inspiring conversation, Dr. Farah Laurent (RN, educator, entrepreneur) walks us through her journey from bedside nursing to leadership and business owner. After getting laid off—twice—she doubled down on personal branding, service-driven leadership, and consistent content creation. Farah now coaches new graduate nurses to break into competitive specialties with confidence, run standout interviews, and build careers they actually want. She also creates nurse-focused conferences, masterminds, and digital courses that make the jump to entrepreneurship feel doable and fun.

• How Farah turned doubt into fuel—and why mindset coaching is key for new nurses

• The exact habits that move careers forward (hint: consistency beats intensity)

• Servant leadership in action: creating psychological safety and “fun vibes” at work

• Building a personal brand on LinkedIn without being “salesy”

• Taking smart risks: launching a conference in weeks and self-publishing a book

• New ways nurses are creating income: digital products, courses, partnerships, speaking
