For healthcare champions and innovators investing in employee wellness & retention, organizational resilience-building, the patient experience, and diversity/equity/inclusion goals, we offer a unique and powerful solution–listening. Our signature programs help ease the emotional burden of hospital staff and healthcare professionals in a variety of settings, to fight burnout and improve the patient experience, and can be customized based on your needs and goals: >> Customized Listener Poet Engagements–to help healthcare staff and/or patients experience deep listening, which supports the stress response cycle, and can fundamentally shift how it feels to work in and receive healthcare >> Brave Conversation Facilitation–to humanize difficult conversations and improve team communication and morale by providing an intentional space for reflection, connection, resilience-building, and nonjudgmental listening >> Certified Listener Poet Training (for individuals or teams)–to develop and practice deep listening skills in an intimate learning community, and prepare you for the craft of working as a Certified Listener Poet in a healthcare setting >> The Art of Listening Coaching Engagements–to build team and organizational listening capacity, which contributes to cultures where people care about each other’s well-being and has positive ripple effects across entire organizations. Includes opportunities to EXPERIENCE (through Listener Poet sessions), PRACTICE (through Brave Conversation facilitation), and INTEGRATE learning (through customized workshops)
