You don’t have to have worked in the burns unit of a children’s hospital to understand the physical and emotional strain that nurses face, but it helps.
Helen Gardiner brought her unique blend of training skills and healthcare experience to the fore, as part of a recent insights training session we delivered in Liverpool.
In tandem with our head of coaching, Louise Roberts, Helen took a team of nurses through various exercises designed to help people to explore and understand team dynamics.
We covered everything from relationship challenges to communication preferences, with our exercise on colour energy preferences proving to be particularly popular.
It was especially poignant for Helen, who met up with one of her former colleagues from the burns unit during the session.
She said:
It was an enjoyable session with lots of discussion. Being able to appreciate the various communication preferences of others is very enlightening and the group agreed it would be of help not only in the workplace but in their personal lives too.
