ONCC Recognition Breakfast: Celebrating Your Impact: Wholehearted Service with Peter Katz

Sponsored by Oncology Nursing Certification Corporation

Friday, September 18 | 7:30 – 8:30 AM 

Honoring and elevating those who serve in healthcare, education, public service, long-term care, and other mission-driven fields. The work of caring, teaching, and serving the public is deeply meaningful and deeply demanding. For those in healthcare, education, public service, long-term care, and other mission-driven professions, the daily pressures of high stakes, limited resources, and constant change can make it hard to pause and recognize the difference you’re making. Too often, extraordinary impact goes unseen — even by those creating it. And when it’s invisible, it can slowly drain your energy, your connection, and even your sense of purpose.

This keynote is an invitation to see your work — and yourself — through new eyes. Through powerful music, real stories from attendees, and practical strategies, Peter helps mission-driven professionals reconnect to the meaning behind what they do, honor the profound impact they already create, and leave them resourced and re-energized to keep showing up wholeheartedly.

The Oncology Nursing Certification Corporation (ONCC) hosts the Recognition Breakfast for CPHON®, CPON® & TCTCN™ Individuals and for nurses aspiring to become certified. Join ONCC to honor the CPHON® of the Year. This event will have a featured speaker, so please arrive on time. Priority is given to those who hold one of these credentials. This session will offer 1 NCPD hour.
