Damian is the director of clinical operations at Nanaimo Regional General Hospital (NRGH), a 340 bed facility on central Vancouver Island. Damian brings 15 years of mixed clinical and administrative leadership to his work, and leading 1100 staff within 18 different departments at the site means that there is rarely monotony or pause in his day to day practice. Damian strives to live his professional and personal life within the values of curiosity, authenticity, relationships, visibility & empathy – something he identifies as the CARVE approach.
Regardless of whether it is at work, in the community, or amongst family and friends, Damian focuses on putting people first. Often, that starts with the simple things that can often be overlooked or taken for granted, yet always seem to be crucially important – being curious, listening to learn, and nurturing new and existing relationships.
With remarkable honesty Damian shares his path to leadership, as well as his perspective on values and visible leadership. He also shares a few of the biggest challenges of his career, the impact on his personal and family life, and one big lesson about authenticity that he learned along the way.
