Talk is supposed to be cheap, yet the ability to communicate effectively across difference is an increasingly valuable skill in a world that feels so entrenched in division and discord.
Patient outcomes often depend on the ability of nursing professionals to communicate effectively with colleagues. Issues of compassion, trust and confidence are often first addressed through meaningful conversations.
Our conference focuses on the transformative power of conversations and aims to provide you with the tools to tackle the issues that often feel hard to surface safely and productively. We want to support you by empowering you to speak about the issues that matter most. Maximising your skills to hold the kind of transformative conversations that deepen relationships, establish clear boundaries and create psychological safety in order to strengthen working relationship and build stronger teams.
Our focus is on the wealth of EDI issues we all face in the workplace; namely discrimination and bullying and harassment. We want to provide you with enhanced skills to speak about this in your work place and effect change.
The conference will also introduce our new inclusion café resource which is based on the principles for dialogue generated by the world café concept. It aims to set a context for discussion, build equity of ownership of the issues, share tools to facilitate conversations and encourage participation from everyone, regardless of their position.
“Equity is our clear ambition; diversity is our underused asset; inclusion is our future”
