ERMES TRAINING & WORKSHOPS
​
​
In 2018 I founded the “Ermes Training Centre” with Francesca Cardoni, an experienced educator and friend.
​
These workshops derive from our passion for Therapeutic Education, Narrative Medicine and Strategic and Effective Communication.
They also incorporate principles of the Strategic Approach and the Goal Setting Theory, which indicate the nature of the Goals set during the workshops and their practical orientation.
To be effective, Ermes Training workshops goals have to be SMART:
Specific
Measurable
Achievable
Relevant
Time-limited
...and easy to apply in professional's life work.
These workshops are also "International" because they are open to any professionals from any part of the world (in English, Italian, French and Spanish) and are located in Australia, Asia and Europe, allowing connection and promoting exchange.
They integrate the most effective evidence based psychological model of interventions to facilitate "change" in professional's life and work, preventing burn-out, improving effective communication in the Team and increasing well-being for the Health Professional and its patients.
Workshops will cater to a range of experience levels due to the strengths based nature of facilitation and the tailoring of the session to attendees learning needs and level. Programs are relevant across a range of sectors and a range of professionals working in the health, community services, education and corporate field.
​
1) Workshops in Health Care and Patient's Engagement are created for Health Care Professionals to promote well-being, reduce burnout, improve communication, connection and impact on patient’s engagement.
They have been created specifically considering patient, clinician and hospital's needs, barriers and resources.
2) Workshops in Brief Strategic and Effective Communication are drawn upon the Brief Strategic Approach (Paul Watzlawick, Palo Alto) and Giorgio Nardone.
The "Strategic Problem Solving" is a pragmatic and functional tool to apply to complex situations obtaining the best results in brief times.
These workshops are provided in collaboration with Prof. I. Cincinnato and the Centre of Strategic and Clinic Therapy in Rome (CTS)​.
3) Well-being and Empowerment Workshops and Retreats are directed to clinicians or any professional (i.e. educators, lawyers, mediators, entrepreneurs) whose job is highly challenging, stressful and would benefit of strategies to reduce stress, manage negative emotions, improve communication and setting achievable aims.
These workshops are delivered in the Australian or Italian country side to allow single participants or Team members to relax and bond while learning in a unique environment.
Feedback will be provided by peers and by the facilitator, who will also arrange a structured series of Skype follows up and initiate a supervised participant's network and project's supervision.
Retreats will have a larger "Relax" component, with the possibility of being joined by spouses and children.
Due to Covid-19 all workshops have been postponed...
...for now. Stay tuned and stay safe.
