Healthcare Professional Relationship Training

Relationships

Building and nurturing professional relationships is the foundation of human engagement. Strong relationships are crucial for achieving individual success, cultivating thriving teams, and delivering exceptional patient care. Despite the significance, many healthcare professionals may find their training focused more on technical expertise than emotional intelligence. That’s where we come in.

Our approach to professional relationship skills has a lasting impact.

J3P’s approach transcends conventional training. Here’s how we deliver bespoke solutions that instigate deep-rooted and sustainable change:

Form the question and assess the situation.

J3P interviews you and your team to determine the cause for internal friction, frustration, miscommunication and misunderstanding. This step includes deployment of sophisticated and proven assessment methodologies.

1.

Define the problem to solve.

J3P reports out our initial diagnosis of how and where the tension spots in the organizational structure are. This is typically a combination of individual and systemic contributing factors that keeps fluidity in relationship building.

2.

Develop and implement the plan.

J3P works with the leaders individually and collectively in team workshops. Based on our experience, both perspectives are beneficial in building, re-building, or bolstering the relationships that matter—as well as airing covert processes that prevent optimal team performance.

3.

Measure and assess progress.

Throughout the developmental process, our team maintains positive contact with the people and organizational sponsors in various states of change. J3P adjusts and accommodates due to changes in your environment and circumstances.
