Nurses are not lacking motivation, ideas, or work ethic.

They’re just putting their ‘change maker’ energy in the wrong places.

After working in healthcare systems, leading teams, and coaching nurses across roles, I’ve seen the same pattern play out over and over again:

1️⃣ A smart, capable nurse (or leader) sees a problem — or room to improve — at work.

2️⃣ She thinks it through, comes up with a potential fix, and raises the alarm. Maybe she escalates it to her manager or brings it to a council or team discussion.

3️⃣ It gets acknowledged. It might even be called a “great idea.” But nothing actually changes.

4️⃣ So she follows up. Brings it up again. Tries to get buy-in. Puts more energy into pushing it forward.

5️⃣ At this point, one of two things happens:

     👉🏼 She stops bringing things up because it’s clearly not going anywhere

     👉🏼 Or she keeps pushing, takes it on herself, and ends up carrying more work without real authority to change anything

6️⃣ Either way, she ends up frustrated. And over time, she ends up either disengaged OR burned out from fighting the same battles with no real movement.

This cycle doesn’t play out because nurses aren’t capable of making change.

It plays out because no one has shown you how change can actually happen inside a complex system like healthcare.

Map Your Impact is built from that gap.

What is Map Your Impact, exactly?


Map Your Impact is a short, practical course that shows you how to understand what’s actually happening inside your team and your organization  — and where YOU fit in. 

And no, not 'in theory’. In the exact context you’re already working in.


The MYI system gives you a way to step back and see:

🤔 How to assess your role on a team (and where your influence actually sits)

🎯 Where your effort is worth it (and what you can stop putting energy into)

✅ What to actually do next (so you’re not just circling the same problems… but actually moving something forward)



Your $37 Investment Includes:


📍 A personalized Impact Map: A clear way to see your role on your team (not your job description!), where your influence actually sits, and where your effort is most likely to create movement.

🚀 Short, actionable lessons: You’ll move through the core ideas quickly and apply them directly to your current role and work environment.

🛠️ An action plan you can use immediately: You’ll leave knowing what to focus on this week, with simple, strategic steps to build habits and start making progress right away.

🔍 Self-assessment tools: A way to evaluate your position within your team’s change-making ecosystem and understand how you currently show up inside it. You can return to this for the rest of your career.

🧠 A systems-based framework for change: A way to understand why certain efforts don’t go anywhere — and what actually needs to shift for change to happen.

What This Means for You:

By the end of this, you’re not guessing anymore.

You can see where your effort actually makes a difference — and where it doesn’t.

You know where to focus.
You know what to ignore.
And you have a clear next move you can act on right away.

This is not about doing more. (Often that’s part of the problem!!)

And it’s not another set of generic fixes that sound good but don’t hold up in real systems.

It’s a way to work inside the reality you’re in —
and still move things forward.

🗺️ It’s a practical roadmap to creating meaningful change without sacrificing your sanity.

Go from over-functioning in broken systems… to using your effort strategically inside them.

And maybe actually doing LESS with BETTER results. 🤯

Who teaches Map Your Impact?

Meet your course creator & instructor — Claire Phillips, DNP RN

Hey there — I’m Claire!

I believe that understanding how systems actually work is what allows you to create real change inside them.

After becoming a nurse, working in the ER, and stepping into frontline leadership, I kept working with the same nurses: people who cared deeply about improving healthcare…with no clear way to actually make change happen.

So I went deeper.

I completed my Doctor of Nursing Practice in Health Innovation and Leadership, and built my career at the intersection of clinical care, leadership, and system design — working inside healthcare systems while also coaching nurses across roles.

Systems thinking and real-world application are at the center of Nursing the System, the  two things that are still largely missing in how we expect nurses to lead change.

Now I coach, teach, and develop tools like Map Your Impact, helping nurses understand where their effort actually matters, how to navigate complex systems, and how to create change without burning themselves out.

My #1 goal is to give you an avenue to use what you already know and care about…in a way that actually works.

You’ll have lifetime access to Map Your Impact, so you can come back to it whenever you need to reset, refocus, and move forward with more clarity.

This is not really about $37.

You are already spending time and energy on this.

When you try to fix problems that don’t go anywhere.

And take on work that will certainly keep you busy… but isn’t actually moving you toward the goal.

And when you keep dumping effort into the same situations, only to get deeply disappointing results.

That pattern costs you. Not just in time, but in the words of Taylor Swift, “Your energy is expensive."

Map Your Impact is a way to step out of that + to see where your effort actually works, and where it doesn’t.

That shift tends to change things pretty quickly.

You’ve got Q’s; I’ve got A’s.

  • How long will the course take to complete?

    It should take about 2 hours total, with 90 minutes of video content and 30 minutes for reflection and implementation. You’ll start seeing results as soon as you begin applying your action plan.

  • I’m not a nurse or a leader. Will this work for me?

    Yes! If you’re interested in driving change and collaboration at work - no matter your role, this course is for you.

  • I’m a nurse leader. How will this help me?

    Nurse leaders needed this system YESTERDAY. Not only will you become wildly more effective at your job… You will also see your team clearly for the first time, and know exactly how to develop them into the effective change makers your department needs.

  • I’m already overwhelmed. Will this help, or make that worse?

    I designed this course specifically for people who feel overwhelmed. It’s about doing less, not more. In one afternoon, you’ll know the whole system and exactly what it means for you at work tomorrow.

  • How is this different from your Change Maker Essentials program?

    Map Your Impact is a 2-hour intensive to feel more capable + in control at work with just a few simple tweaks. Change Maker Essentials is the 12-week certification program to up-level your professional identity and establish a core change maker skillset. If you’re interested in CME, Map Your Impact is a great place to get started while you wait for you enrollment to open.
