A Preconference Workshop

Reaching one’s greatest potential requires gathering motivation and resilience tools you can use to navigate healthfully through trying times. You will explore theories and practices that energize you, help you say ‘yes’ to what is important and ‘no’ to the things that drain you. You will distinguish selfishness from self-care and learn how to set and attain your own goals, how to use your strengths more creatively, build your emotional intelligence and rebalance your life when it goes off kilter. Making long lasting, intentional change in life requires applying strong and personalized evidence-based tools which are immediately useful in habit formation

Patient Engagement: The New Blockbuster Drug

General Session

If patient engagement is the new “blockbuster drug”, coaching is the delivery system. This session will present practical evidence-based coaching strategies to gather patient motivation, identify learning needs and barriers, set goals and build accountability. The evidence base on goal attainment and how to more effectively engage patients will be emphasized.

TAPS:  Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors

Carolyn Buppert, Law Office of Carolyn Buppert &

Eileen T. O’Grady, Founder, The School of Wellness, LLC

Interacting with difficult others in the workplace is a common occurrence.  Attorney Carolyn Buppert and Wellness Coach and Nurse Practitioner Dr. Eileen O’Grady are contacted by nurses in distress all over the United States because of rude, bullying, and toxic behaviors in the health care setting.  They want to know whether there are legal remedies that will free them from their situation. They want to know how to make it stop. This workshop will use case studies to explore and define illegal workplace behaviors including harassment and discrimination. The presenters will offer strategies on how to stop toxic workplace behavior and outline the evidence needed if there is a legal remedy.

Often, bad workplace behavior isn’t illegal. For example, bullying is not illegal. Coworkers may be narcissists, emotional vampires, borderline personalities, and those that engage in power struggles.  The presenters offer a triage system to help identify the type of difficult person one is confronting and evidence-based strategies to mitigate the stress effect of these difficult people.  Accurately identifying the type of difficult other is a key initial step in knowing how to best handle these challenges so that the nurse is protected and the toxic interaction is de-escalated.
