69 | Different Stresses Families Face and Creative Ways We Can Help – Lactation Business Coaching with Annie and Leah
“We do have to be creative in modifying how we’re communicating with families to recognize when what we’re saying isn’t landing with them.”
— Annie Frisbie
Nobody is immune from stress. (If you are, then please tell us your secrets).
Everyone experiences life in different ways so everyone has things that stress them that may not be obvious or logical to you.
As lactation consultants, sometimes we have to get creative in how we communicate with families.
In this episode, we’re talking about ways families might be stressed and how can we help them work through that stress.
We are giving you our tips and tricks that we use in our private practice so you can have a better connection with the families you work with.
Listen now to discover:
- Getting creative with how you communicate with families (6:18)
- The importance of having an attitude of agreement with your clients (10:38)
- Why getting curious can help the families you work with (13:09)
- Using yes and language (15:38)
“There’s always some seed of goodness that you can pull out of something and build your foundation on that in the conversation..”
— Annie Frisbie
