Consulting services
The experience of working in healthcare settings such as academic or community hospitals, pharmaceutical companies and biotechnology firms can be both challenging and rewarding. The impact on staff – individuals and teams – as they develop relationships with people facing life threatening illnesses or learn to partner with patients/families as advisors and advocates, can be both inspiring and overwhelming. This is the “human experience” of their work. Through support and education strategies, I focus on enriching partnerships with patients, families and organizations; as well as addressing compassion fatigue and fostering resilience in staff leading to more meaningful work experiences.
How can I help you?
I will collaborate with you and your organization to:
- Develop and facilitate meetings, workshops and other initiatives designed to enhance relationships with patients and families as advisors and advocates
- Provide workshops and coaching to strengthen the coping skills of staff in their high stress work environments
- Offer guidance on program development centered on wellness and stress-management
