Effective inter-professional collaboration is key to creating sustainable solutions. A lot of time, energy and mental capacity can go to waste when communication breaks down and this can lead to mistakes as well as burnout. My focus is on the intersection between communication and health. The solution I offer is a recipe for communication that help people be less reactive and more proactive. My clients gain a new awareness of their presence and the impact of differences in communication styles on collaboration; as a result they learn to co-create safe environments for surfacing dilemmas that are emerging while exploring models and developing solutions.
