A veteran RN and nursing leader with 3 decades of experience, Teresa Sanderson leads with authenticity and the heart of a servant. She believes nursing leadership is responsible for creating a culture and environment where nurses can succeed and practice with excellence. Teresa is working to transform nursing culture from one where “Nurses eat their young” to one where “Nurses FEED Their Young (NFTY).” She trains healthcare organizations, nursing leaders and nurses on emotional intelligence and values-based hiring, recruitment and retention strategies. Sanderson is an author, speaker, nurse entrepreneur and homesteader. 

She resides on a homestead in rural Northeast Kansas with her husband, dogs, livestock and honeybees.
