Healthcare Speakers

Like you, work/life balance expert and author Sharon Weinstein has worked long hours and ignored the stressors that affect our relationships, family, job, productivity, outputs, and health. Is balance within the reach of a select few, or are we all eligible for this gift?

With over three decades of global healthcare experience, speaking, and firsthand business experience, Sharon knows that balance is a lifestyle choice and not about the latest fads, ads, or promotions. Balance is for everyone, every day. It’s how we should live our lives.

Sharon, often referred to as a Stressbuster for her ability to identify stressors and solutions, is recognized globally for her work with organizations that want to learn how life balance can drive safety, satisfaction, and success!

She directed the Office of International Affairs for the hospital alliance, Premier Inc., for over 10 years. She holds the coveted Certified Speaking Professional (CSP®) designation, the highest earned international recognition for professional speakers. Less than 17 percent of the more than 5,000 speakers worldwide, who belong to the 14-member associations of the Global Speakers Federation (GSF), hold this credential. Sharon is the Chair of the CSP Committee.

Author of the award-winning, B is for Balance, 2nd edition, 12 Steps Toward a More Balanced Life at Home and at Work; Weinstein’s work has been shared with participants across the country and around the globe. Companies such as: Premier, AIHA, Meritus Health, BD, Kellogg Alumni, George Washington University Hospital, OR Managers, BMO Harris Bank, Medline Industries, Central Clinical Hospital (Moscow),Baptist Health System, and CHI-TX have partnered with Sharon when they want a balanced workforce, greater productivity and service excellence.

Prior to her commitment to work/life balance, Sharon, a registered nurse by education and passion, worked 100 hours per week, 3 countries per week until she missed a family event because of a flight delay in Eastern Europe. The plane had contraband onboard, and the delay extended for 4 days. Sharon realized that she needed to shift her paradigm and “get a life.” And that’s exactly what she did!

She is a graduate of the Kellogg Executive Management Program and a Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing. Faculty at the University of Illinois, Chicago College of Nursing, Past President of NSA-DC and the Infusion Nurses Society, founder of the Global Education Development Institute, and member of the professional advisory board for Purdue University Global, Sharon is a ShareCare Nursing Expert.

She has conquered the balancing act, and lives and works stress-free!
