I am presently completing a book, the focus of which
is in leading and managing organizational systems
through a holistic perspective, values based framework
for people, processes, structures, and relationship alignment.
In the words of the great philosophical cartoon character Calvin, created by Bill Waterson, “Just because everyone is speaking English, doesn’t mean they are speaking the same language.”
Every organization is different – different people, processes, structures, and relationships (Marcus, 2018). Therefore, the way each organization defines its values will vary depending upon its personality/culture. This is also true for the behaviors that translate these values into actions. “One of the most important elements of the high performance, values-aligned culture is a set of values that are measurable, tangible, and observable” (Edmonds, 2010). In other words, each organizational value needs well-defined behavioral parameters that clearly and specifically describe how the value is (and isn’t) demonstrated.
Ongoing and intentional self-aware of the essential acts of listening discovery and reflection are at to ourselves with compassion, finding the core of every form of self- meaning in our actions, understanding care (AHNA & ANA, 2013). It our beliefs, intentionally being present, is through these actions that we learn new and embracing all aspects of ourselves.
Jalma has been featured on "Beginnings" by The American Holistic Nurses Association, "Your Next Shift" by Living Sublime Well and Business Inovators Magazine.
Your Next Shift offers a dynamic listening experience. Host Elizabeth Scala has strategically crafted a program that provides both practical tactics and universal truths. Weekly episodes present listeners with spiritual mindsets to be themselves and entrepreneurial tools to do their best. Guest interviews illustrate the importance of showing up as ourselves in our work, while giving us concrete methods to do so. Your Next Shift, which informs, educates and up-levels our nursing career, certainly is cutting edge in the healthcare environments of today.
I recently had the great pleasure of speaking with Jalma Mesnick Marcus, Board Certified Holistic Nurse, Holistic Practitioner, Creator and Founder of the Quantum Alignment System.
It became quite apparent throughout our conversation, that from birth, Jalma was destined to “be different,” be an innovator, stand out from the crowd, be an influencer, a person who had interest in how everything worked as a whole and how system approaches link everything vs only treating the parts.
