Making Difficult Conversations Easier: Skills and Tools for Doctors and Clinicians
Transforming ‘professional’ communication effectively
90 Minute Online Workshop, Tuesday 13 October 2020, 7pm - 8.30pm
This online workshop is presented in partnership with The Goodfellow Unit
What factors make certain conversations in our professional settings – “difficult”?
For some it might be that a specific topic is uncomfortable. For others, it may be that certain circumstances make us feel awkward. Often, we know that if the conversation is handled badly, it will result in serious repercussions. For many, it often comes down to personality and style. Some people just find it a struggle to talk in certain situation. And some of us, simply have a difficult time talking to certain people - period.
Of course, in a setting like a medical practice, one of the most essential factors of many difficult conversation is that after the conversation is over – we will, undoubtedly need to continue seeing and working with this service user in the future. So we want to get it right. After all, ongoing (personal and professional) relationships carry much more responsibility then “one-time” meetings.
The webinar’s focus on real clinical work dynamics, and its unique, hands on – what to do – training emphasis goes to the heart of addressing a topic that concerns every doctor and specialist.
Content
This unique 90-minute webinar provides training in developing the actual verbal, emotional and physical interpersonal skills we need to turn conflict into cooperation, and successfully deal with the most challenging types of people. In addition, we will explore how to create a happy, productive, efficient, and non-turbulent workplace, by improving our ability to set appropriate boundaries
