Ask a Leadership Coach
Victoria Baylor CPC, CODC, CNLP
How Do You Charge Your Leadership Battery?
How low does your
phone battery have to be be
fore you charge it? Sometimes
it can feel like a game of Rus
sian Roulette. The other day
my phone was at 5% so I hast
ily ran over to charge it. Two
hours later I came back to grab
my phone and it was at 3%. I
was perplexed about what hap
pened until I realized the phone
was plugged into the charger
but was disconnected from the
power source. This scenario re
minds me of an important lead
ership truth. There are so many
leaders who are plugged into
their positions but aren’t really
empowered. You may be exert
ing a lot of effort but not seeing
the ROI and productive im
pact. Your role/title is great but
leadership is about influencing
others to be their best version
and work toward the organi
zation’s goals. To be effective

you must first be empowered
yourself. So how can you em
power yourself so you can bet
ter empower others? Let’s take
a holistic approach. What val
ues in your work are important
(ex truth, collaboration, cre
ativity)? Are you leading with
them? They not only energize
you but create clarity and build
trust. Have you tapped into
your strengths? They allow you
to do more with less leadership
strain. And lastly, how are you
doing? It’s easy to lose yourself
in your role. What do you need
to be a healthy individual first?
Are you prioritizing exercise,
healthy food, sleep, detoxing
negative emotions, etc. Re
member empowering yourself
will allow you to be and give
your best— which is the es
sence of effective leadership.

Trump Ramps Up Attack on Manhattan DA
with Violent Imagery and Call for ‘Death’
and ‘Destruction’
By Stacy M. Brown, NNPA Newswire Senior National Correspondent @StacyBrownMedia
Continued from Page 1
Most legal experts
believe Fulton County, Geor
gia, District Attorney Fani Wil
lis might have a more serious
case. A special grand jury dis
banded in January after report
edly recommending charges
that include obstruction, brib
ery, and interfering with a pres
idential election. Additionally,
a Special Counsel’s investi
gation into Trump allegedly
mishandling classified docu
ments at his Florida home has
amped up with a federal judge
ordering the former President’s
lawyer to testify. Finally, the
Congressional committee that
investigated the January 6 in
surrection has recommended
serious charges against Trump
to the U.S. Department of Jus
tice. Those charges could in
clude treason.
“It would be a traves
ty of justice,’’ Mississippi Dem
ocratic Congressman Bennie
Thompson said if Trump isn’t
prosecuted by federal authori
ties for his role in the insurrec
tion. “Nobody is above the law,
not even the President of the
United States,’’ said Thomp
son, who chaired the com
mission. “What we saw after
interviewing more than 1,000
people - the majority of who
identify with the Republican
Party - we are convinced that
whatever happened, happened
because of one person. So, we
are clear in our recommenda
tion.

St. Joseph’s/Candler Presents the 30th Annual
McAuley Award to Alison White
St. Joseph’s/Candler President & CEO Paul P. Hinchey
announced White as McAuley Award recipient
Some may say Ali
son White has lofty goals. She
wants every patient who comes
into her operating room to have
the best surgical experience
possible. And she wants them
all to have a quick ride home
with little traffic.
Her ability to make
those things happen at St. Jo
seph’s/Candler’s Pooler Cam
pus—along with her tireless
smile and selfless work eth
ic—is why Alison White is the
recipient of the 30th Annual
McAuley Award.
St. Joseph’s/Can
dler President & CEO Paul P.
Hinchey announced White as
the recipient during a special
ceremony at St. Joseph’s Hos
pital. The McAuley Award is
named in honor of Catherine
McAuley, who founded The
Sisters of Mercy in the hopes
of bringing education, health
care, social justice, and spiri
tual guidance to those in need.
White was among more than
120 co-workers who had been
nominated by their peers for
the award.
White serves as the
Clinical Nurse Manager in
the Pooler Campus Outpatient
Surgery department. It’s a very
busy place, with two operat
ing rooms and two endoscopy
suites. Some of the procedures
performed on the Pooler Cam
pus include gallbladder re
moval, appendectomies, foot
and ankle corrections, hernia
repairs, ENT procedures, cos
metic surgery, GYN surgeries
and gastroenterology scopes.
White makes sure it all hap
pens as smoothly as possible—
not only for the patients but for
her co-workers and physicians
as well.
“Alison is everything
the McAuley award stands for,’’
said one of several co-workers
who nominated White. “She
is compassionate, empathetic,
strong, loving, fiercely devoted
to her patients and co-work-
ers. You can go to Alison with
anything, be it an issue or just
needing to talk, and she is there
100 percent for you.’’
White is a Pooler na
tive who is known for serving
her community outside of work,
even earning the nickname of
the “neighborhood nurse’’ for
her willingness to check on the
wellbeing of her Pooler neigh
bors. From day one of the Pool
er Campus opening, White was
thrilled that people in Pooler
and the surrounding areas did
not have to drive to Savannah
for many common procedures.
Her co-workers consider her
“an ambassador for the Pooler
Campus’’ who goes “the extra
mile—or two or three extra
miles—to assist patients.’’
As the 2023 recipi
ent, White will have her name
and image added to the bronze
McAuley plaque displayed in
the lobbies of St. Joseph’s Hos
pital and Candler Hospital. She
will receive a $3,000 honorar
ium, a one-year parking pass
in the location of her choice, a
one-month cafeteria meal pass,
a gift certificate for a massage
at SJ/C’s Wellness Center, a
St. Joseph’s/Candler watch and
the McAuley plaque and pin.
What Alison White’s
Co-Workers Said About
Her:
“She genuinely loves
what she does. She is always
willing to jump in and help
solve problems or be an ear to
listen. She cares so much for
her team and her patients.’’
“Her leadership abil
ity is remarkable. She would
never ask us to do something
she would not do; she steps in
to assist in hands-on patient
care. She has the uncanny abil
ity to see the big picture at all
times, her multitasking sense is
enviable, and she is able to do
it all with poise and calm.’’
“She is the nurse I
want to take care of me!’’
