Harsh Communication can Undermine a Culture of Safety
Healthcare professionals often don’t realize how words, tone and actions impact others. At times, colleagues may intervene, and outside resources are often recommended. This course is designed to fulfill credentialing or licensing board requirements for remedial education. It is also suitable for healthcare professionals who simply wish to improve their skills in this critical area.
Practical Application
This course is designed to give clinicians the skills they need to employ professional and effective communication in the workplace. Participants gain insight into their own style and behavior through interactive small-group discussions and analysis of simulated workplace encounters.
Clinicians Finish with a Practical Plan of Action for:
- Repairing damaged relationships
- More effective stress management
- Increased resiliency and improved tolerance for frustration
Accountability Partner Follow-Up Program
Optional coaching following the course is strongly recommended. This helps participants implement their Plan of Action and support positive change. Interested participants can enroll in the Accountability Partner Follow-Up Program to receive up to six months of coaching following completion of the seminar.
