They talk about what it really takes to transform a toxic culture from the inside out. Priscilla shares how she started by truly listening to her team, involving them in decisions, and creating psychological safety. They also talk about the importance of vulnerability, modeling the behavior you want to see, and how to handle conflict — especially between providers and nursing staff.
