Lovely post NS!
I do hope she reads it and feels good about herself
I agree with the thought that we do not get enough praise, there is an awful lot of negativity in midwifery, especially now and positive things are rarely said.
My mentor is nice and says lots of nice things to me, whcih really make a massive difference. I always thank her for her hard work and for helping me with so much too
My old life was very much focussed on instilling confidence in people and it is amazing how little effort it takes to turn someone around just by giving genuine and enthusiastic praise to them.
