Forming  10 grounding beliefs: 

Empty space, drag to resize
  • #1: I believe my success is up to me. I can be a master of communication and human connection if I choose to be.
  • #2: I believe soft skills are just as important as hard/technical skills. 
  • #3: I believe creating a positive experience that the patient feels is just as important as delivering an excellent transaction. 
  • #4: I believe that patients want a confident guide; it's my job to lead them, not just serve them.
  • #5: I believe to create a great human experience, we must connect first, do second.
  • #6: I believe that I can create genuine human connections within professional boundaries.
  • #7: I believe in assuming the best, not the worst about other people; and that intense emotions do not mean bad emotions.
  • #8: I believe that we are all selling ourselves every single day, and that persuasion, influence, sales, and conversion are pure and something I can be comfortable with and good at to achieve my goals in life. 
  • #9: I believe that to create an excellent experience for our patient (like I would want if I or my loved one were the patient), and that to achieve our goals as a practice/organization, we must work together to create one connected experience for our patient
  • #10: I believe that perception, how a patient (or person) sees me, is reality; and it’s up to me to create the first impression I want.
This masterclass helped my team reframe their mindset about conversions and sales - and understand the difference between ‘being and feeling' in patient care.
Your explanations helped them appreciate the impact of education and offering technology to our patients in a whole new way. Thank you!"

 Topic  Soft Skills 

Technical skills are non-negotiable in healthcare, right? We can all agree that it's our duty to make sure our patients are informed and safe.

However, there's a big difference between patients 'being' and 'feeling', and that is determined by our soft skill expertise. Soft skills must become non-negotiable as well. 

To reach our highest success potential, patients must feel three things when they are with us and under our care:
 Connected
 Informed
 Safe

 The Method  Why it works

Effective learning is not an 'event' that people 'do' it's a journey that we live. This scientific learning method includes four stages in our journey, when combined with our ongoing membership sessions in Mastering the Soft Skills of Patient Connection

We never waste your time... 

What people are saying about this soft skills series:
You two [Christine & Lauren] are so talented and knowledgeable. I will remember these sessions for years to come.
     
I wholeheartedly enjoyed this experience with The Patient Whisperers.
     
I appreciated that [Lauren & Christine] have actually done this, they aren't coming at this like a consultant normally would... It's so easy to sit and say "this is what you should do" but they have done it.
