Introduction to Intentional Conversations Videos

Intentional, facilitated conversations are opportunities for healthcare staff to gather outside of patient care, meetings with agendas, or formal conferences. The ability, time, and space to connect in a way that allows speaking with intention and listening with attention supports individual and team resilience. The aims of intentional, facilitated conversations are to engage in reflection as a means to take knowledge to action and to identify resilience as a professional skill of self and teams. There are four parts to facilitating an intentional conversation: breathing, check-in, dialogue, and check-out. In this series of videos, Amy Rettig will break down each part of the process and provide facilitator tips to support you in holding your own facilitated conversations with colleagues.
