SOS: Save Our Staff, Save Ourselves — Leadership, Burnout and Awakening Compassion
Leadership strategies for navigating organization and individual strain, and connecting the pieces of the puzzle to awaken compassion
Instructors: Ali Hall, JD; Melody Cole, MS, RDN, CD; Jenny Rodefeld, MSW, LCSW
Learner level: Intermediate to advanced
Continuing Education hours: 6
Today’s leaders are faced with many challenges, from enhancing employee well-being and retention to producing high-functioning teams, supporting staff compassionately and guiding staff through multiple varieties of strain. Particularly, strain from burnout and secondary trauma are processes of change that happen in us, our coworkers and our teams, in response to relentless stress and exposure to others’ trauma. Over time, this can lead to changes in our psychological, physical and spiritual life that also affect our family, our organization and those we serve. Those very qualities that make us effective with others — such as empathy, compassion or caring — may leave us more vulnerable to burnout and secondary trauma, yet may provide us with significant protective factors as well!
Each participant will emerge with specific and concrete ideas for healing and protecting from strain, and leadership ideas for helping their coworkers, teams and organizations do the same. We will focus on the role compassion plays in being a leader as well as MI-enabled skills that contribute to increased empathy and trust to enhance organizational change and engage team members.
Workshop learning objectives:
- Explore the sources and individual/organizational impacts of strain
- Engage in self- and organizational-reflective activities
- Conceptualize coping strategies for healing and change plans to work proactively with sources of strain
- Consider ways to express compassion through MI microskills
- Practice giving and receiving constructive coaching through a guiding style
- Apply MI-enabled leadership skills to real-life scenarios

Building Skills in MI for Interprofessional Team-Based Practice: An Effective and Versatile Approach
Instructors: Amy Parins, MPAS, PA-C; Beth Martin, PhD, MS, RPh, FAPhA; Michelle Drapkin, PhD; Yasyn Lee, MD
Learner level: Beginner
Continuing Education hours: 6
Motivational Interviewing is a communication approach that can be effectively applied in many healthcare professional settings. Healthcare professionals, in any area of service, are likely to encounter people who might be reluctant to embrace change in their behaviors, thoughts and attitudes. Everyone on a health/social care team can benefit from learning and incorporating this skill into their interprofessional practice.
This interactive workshop will create a rich learning environment for the reinforcement of the common processes of MI. An interprofessional/interdisciplinary team of facilitators will bolster participants’ confidence in the use of MI through introspection, small and large group practice, video, didactic discussion and modeling. Participants will work across professions to bring their respective training, expertise and anticipated use of MI to collaboratively apply the skills and style.
Workshop learning objectives:
- Discuss the importance of having MI skills and knowledge across a range of professions
- Define your own role in helping people resolve ambivalence
- Describe MI in the context of your profession and the interprofessional team
- Apply MI skills in interprofessional case scenarios
