Building Relationships Through Communication
If you have ever wanted to improve the way you interact with the families you support as a lactation consultant, this session will give you techniques, insight, skills and practice for elevating your work relationships through communication. Taught by Jen Deshaies IBCLC, you’ll first get an understanding of communication fundamentals and then deep dive into how self-awareness lays the groundwork for your interactions with clients and colleagues.
- Foundations of Communication– Learn the essentials of communication methods to help build skills for running successful lactation business day-to-day and in unique situations.
- Relationship with Self– In this section, we will look at the most important relationship that exists: the relationship with our self. Once we understand how we connect to ourselves, we can be more effective at communicating with others.
- Relationships with Families– The families we interact with daily rely on our technical skill, yet, in many ways, our communication skills have the longest-lasting impact. In this section, we will focus on directly and indirectly communicating with breastfeeding parents, partners and babies.
- Relationships with Colleagues– For many of us in private practice, we work solo, yet our relationships with other lactation professionals and with other types of providers can take a lot of our focus. In this section, learn how to navigate sticky situations, how to express your concern about your client to another provider and how to work as a team.
- Building Relationships: Putting it all Together– Empowering families to reach their feeding goals can take skill and practice. When bringing all we learned together and practicing with intention, we can truly grow as people and as clinicians.
