Nurse Coaches Lyn McCright and Teresa Walding Featured in “Visibility 5”
In the world of healthcare, where compassion meets expertise, nurse coaches play a pivotal role in empowering individuals to reclaim their health and resilience. At Advancing Nurse Coaching, we’re thrilled to announce that our co-founders, Lyn McCright and Teresa Walding, are contributing their powerful stories to Visibility 5: Success Stories from Leaders Making an Impact from the Stage. This inspiring collaborative book, edited by Dannella Burnett, is set for release on September 28, 2025, and is already making waves as a must-read for thought leaders ready to amplify their voices.
Why Visibility Matters for Nurse Coaches
As nurses, we’ve spent decades on the front lines—Lyn with over 30 years of experience as an Adult and Gerontological Nurse Practitioner, Board Certified Nurse Coach, and Wellness Nurse Coach, and Teresa as a Board Certified Nurse Coach with a background in ICU, rehabilitation, and psychiatric nursing. Our mission at Advancing Nurse Coaching has always been to equip fellow nurses with the tools of holistic health coaching, grounded in the transformative Principles of The Resilience Paradigm. But sharing that wisdom isn’t just about one-on-one sessions; it’s about stepping onto bigger stages—whether through speaking engagements, podcasts, webinars, or collaborative platforms like this book.
Visibility 5 embodies that ethos. As Dannella Burnett writes in the overview, this volume is “more than a book—it’s a movement.” It gathers thought leaders, speakers, and entrepreneurs who prove that visibility isn’t optional; it’s essential for creating authority, impact, and yes, even income. Each chapter dives into real journeys: the stages conquered, audiences inspired, setbacks overcome, and strategies that turned visibility into lasting change. For nurse coaches like us, this means translating our clinical expertise into global conversations about resilience, self-awareness, and holistic healing.
Our Stories: From Coaching Rooms to Center Stage
Lyn’s chapter explores how embracing the Principles of Resilience shifted her from private practice in Monterey, California, to founding global programs that span continents. With an MPH from the University of Minnesota and a career spanning ICU, public health, and hospice, Lyn has long taught nurses to navigate burnout and build unshakeable wellness mindsets. Her visibility journey? It’s about turning personal insights into keynotes and certifications that have empowered thousands—proving that when nurses step up, they light the way for entire healthcare systems.
Teresa’s contribution highlights a profound “aha” moment at an American Holistic Nurses Association conference, where releasing chronic pain through insight led her to nurse coaching. From her roots as an ICU charge nurse to co-leading AHNA’s Austin chapter and presenting at retreats, Teresa’s path shows how digital platforms and events can amplify a nurse’s voice. Today, through her consulting practice and our shared faculty role at Advancing Holistic Health, she coaches clients in small groups and one-on-one, fostering ease and transformation. Her story in Visibility 5 reveals the strategies that helped her—and can help you—move from bedside to boardroom with confidence.
Together, our chapters blend lived experience with actionable steps: how to craft compelling talks on resilience, leverage media for broader reach, and use events to build communities of empowered nurses. It’s not theory—it’s the roadmap we’ve walked, from self-paced certification programs offering 80 hours of coaching practice to international podcasts sharing nurse coaching’s vital role in modern healthcare.
A Roadmap for Nurses Ready to Claim Their Stage
If you’re a nurse, healthcare leader, or aspiring coach feeling the pull to share your message but unsure where to start, Visibility 5 is your inspiration and guide. No matter your background—whether you’re battling imposter syndrome after a tough shift or scaling your private practice—this book shows that stepping up creates ripples of impact. As Dannella notes, it’s “proof that when you choose to step up, share your voice, and claim your stage—you can create the impact and success you’re called to.”
