 THE SOLUTION 

Everyone needs training for their practice.

And a way to deliver it. And a way to keep up with it. The Patient Whisperers did too.

 The Problem

But everyone hates 'online courses.'

(So did we!) Doesn't EVERYONE get the *ick* when they hear the word 'modules'?!?

Once-and-done events just don't stick.

Everyone gets all excited, then it fades into routine or gets added to a to-do list.

The Problem

So we decided to fix this problem.

We made a non-boring, interactive source of guidance, training, and inspiration - basically, what WE would have wanted in our own practice.

 The Solution

It's actually enjoyable.

Team learning is broken into short sessions with interaction and content that feels like a conversation.

Backed by science.

We used the Design Thinking for Training & Development methodology for human-centered learning.

The Solution

It's ongoing.

Start as a group or on-demand individually, onboard new team members and keep everyone inspired with short weekly doses.

upSKILL your team (without adding more to your plate!)

Soft skills that empower - and convert patients. 
Here are a few topics...

Influence Through Body Language & Tone

Setting Expectations & Leading with Confidence

Understanding Generational Differences

The Power of a First Impression

Controlling Your Own Energy

Positive on Purpose: No Experience is Neutral

Reading the Room: The Art of Mirroring

Reflective Listening

You control your own energy! That week's video really resonated on how we pick up our patients' energies throughout the day.
We are now incorporating a rotating five minute break during that mid-afternoon slump to give each other a chance to reset our energy for the final stretch of the day.

The Method + Sneak Peek

Effective learning is not an 'event' that people 'do' - it's a journey that we live. 
Our scientific method includes four stages in our team learning journey: 

1. Knowledge (Learn)

Change perspectives & beliefs, learn soft skills, and understand the science behind human connection.

2. Repetition (Refresh)

Combat the 'forgetting curve' that leaves us with only 10% of what we learned.

Watch a sneak peek:

3. Retrieval (Recall)

Established by nearly 100 years of research, “retrieval practice” is a learning strategy where we focus on getting information out. 

4. Application (Practical Use)

We cannot fully absorb information until it is put to use in 'real life.' 

97%
