Persuasive Therapeutic Communication Skills and Tools
Improving our communication effectiveness when working to help others
Monday 21 November, 4.30pm - 6pm
90 minute Online Workshop
“What people say, what people do, and what they say they do - are entirely different things.”
“Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else” - Margaret Mead
Research shows that counsellors, teachers, health providers, clinicians, and the rest of us, can dramatically improve positive change efforts, continuity, program and medical adherence, and outcomes for those we are working to help – by improving how well we facilitate the mental, emotional, and interpersonal aspects of the change process.
This training is especially relevant to those involved in helping others successfully facilitate positive lifestyle and behavioural changes. The webinar’s focus on real-world dynamics, and its unique, hands on – what to do – training emphasis goes to the heart of addressing a topic that concerns everyone involved in helping or treating – anyone.
Our goal is to enhance face-to-face our abilities, and to effectively introduce and reinforce relevant wellness, therapeutic, and lifestyle behaviours to a broad range of individuals. These skills are especially relevant to anyone involved in helping others successfully facilitate important lifestyle and behavioural changes as a goal of treatment.
Content
This unique 90-minute webinar is specifically designed for anyone working to help others. We focus on the reality that understanding change, stress, anxiety, and depression, can help us establish stronger a rapport and thus help us – help others – more effectively.
This session will provide training in developing the actual verbal, emotional and physical interpersonal skills we all need to turn to help people get the outcomes, and make the changes, they need and want to make.
You will learn how to turn conflict into cooperation, and successfully deal with the most challenging types of people – many of whom we will need to deal with again. In addition, we will explore how to create a happy, productive, efficient, and non-turbulent workplace, by improving our ability to set appropriate boundaries.
