“I needed this and I’m hopeful that by implementing these tools, I can go from burned out to excited about being a nurse again.”

-Nurse Educator

“Your talk at RHA really hit home! I have used some of your points with the nurse managers and staff nurses that work in our correctional facilities as I am greatly concerned for their mental wellbeing. Thank you for sharing your story! It has and will continue to have a great impact on my job and how I look at healthcare as a whole.”

-Healthcare Manager

Extensive Experience

With twenty years of experience in trauma-informed leadership and workplace resilience, Patrick and Kristen understand the unique dynamics of addressing trauma, burnout, and grief in organizational settings. Professionals are people, too. When their lives are impacted by trauma, burnout, and grief, it impacts their productivity and reliability. These experiences are a turning point. If high-performers feel supported, seen, and heard, they will be more loyal to the organization than ever. If the organization doesn’t demonstrate competence, they can lose that coworker forever.

    Book Review

Overcoming Burnout

Coworker burnout has reached epidemic proportions, causing immense challenges for coworkers and leaders within many affected industries. Rev. Patrick Riecke, a healthcare director and ethics leader who has personally navigated the depths of burnout, provides a transformative opportunity for professionals and leaders.

Book Patrick today to gain a comprehensive understanding of burnout, its profound impact on individuals and organizations, and practical steps to overcome this common phenomenon. Through intentional listening, experienced guidance, and proven strategies, Patrick equips participants with the tools and knowledge they need to address burnout effectively.

Navigating Trauma and Grief

Death and grief impact coworkers, no doubt. But the ripples don’t stop there. Experiencing a personal loss like the death of a parent, partner, or child, can be a turning point for how a coworker approaches their job. Organizations and leaders can shine with expert support, or betray their coworkers by failing them in their time of greatest need.

Patrick spent over a decade serving as Dignity and Spiritual Care Director and Ethics Chairperson for a Magnet health system with over 15,000 coworkers and ten hospitals. His team has responded to over 15,000 patient deaths.

Patrick also led the Ethics Committee through the challenges of a worldwide pandemic. He gives support and guidance to clinicians who want to provide the best possible care for their patients, even at the end of life.

He is the author of ten books, including:

How to Talk with Sick, Dying, and Grieving People
