OVERVIEW
If you want to enhance your leadership skills and learn how to build trust among staff and leaders in your organization, this workshop is for you!
This training is designed to teach healthcare supervisors, managers, and leaders practical skills to help them build trust with their teams. Trust is at the heart of many challenges healthcare leaders face in their organizations and is foundational to an effective interdisciplinary team and to assuring patients receive consistent and reliable care. It has a huge impact on everything from recruitment and retention and staff wellbeing to patient safety, infection control, and vaccine rates. This interactive workshop will include practice techniques focusing on communication skills, as well as easy-to-use tools and resources that leaders can apply to improve outcomes at their organization.
Participants will examine what trust is and why it matters, discuss psychological safety and strategies to improve it within an organization, explore how to communicate effectively with those who disagree, and take a look at building trust with historically marginalized populations and across cultures.
Target Audience:
Supervisors, managers, and leaders in clinical and non-clinical positions within any healthcare setting, including up-and-coming leaders.
Participation is limited to the first 100 registrants.
