Hold onto your hard hats—because in these two episodes of Disruptor Diaries, we're building more than just knowledge. The collaborative sits down with the legendary Donna Wright, MS, RN, NPD-BC, known globally as "the competency lady," to explore her bold, brilliant, and sometimes hilarious journey through the world of competency.

From shaping global healthcare education to helping teams build an outhouse (yes, really!) using attitude, skills, and competency as the foundation, Donna shares how her irreverent wit and pragmatic approach disrupts the status quo. She dives into the human side of learning—where accountability meets creativity, and where even the most unconventional projects become powerful teaching moments.

Whether you're a new educator or a seasoned educator, these episodes will leave you laughing, learning, and ready to build a competency program that is dynamic and meaningful.
