Summary:
Communicate clearly. Lead boldly. Care deeply.
As healthcare leaders and practice managers, you often navigate complex demands, competing priorities, and the delicate balance between patient care, team needs, and organizational goals. In this interactive workshop, we’ll explore how boundaries—when set with intention and communicated with compassion—can become powerful tools for cultivating clarity, reducing burnout, and fostering stronger, more effective relationships.
We’ll discuss why boundaries are not barriers but building blocks of trust and accountability, helping leaders manage complexity while modeling respect for themselves and others. At the heart of this work is accessing your empowered “no,” a skill that allows you to assert your needs and limits with confidence and care.
Through real-world scenarios and guided reflection, learners will leave with practical, actionable strategies to strengthen communication, reduce overwhelm, and cultivate healthier workplaces. By bringing forward compassionate communication and skillful boundary-setting, healthcare professionals can create environments where people and practices can flourish.
