Staff development

Had our regular staff meeting today where we reviewed the happenings at Birth International and talked about our forthcoming events and projects. One of the topics we discussed was the content of our next in-service program for our staff and Graduate Diploma faculty members. This meeting will be in November, over a weekend, and we will fly in our Course Supervisors who are interstate and round up our local people for one day of professional development activities and a second day for Course discussion.

This year we will involve our clerical and support staff as well. It is important that we all reflect the same philosophy and undertake our jobs with confidence and competence. The final program for the weekend is not yet finalised, but will include developing communication skills, offering feedback, working with clients and team building exercises.

It is a shame that Fran Gallwey in our UK office is unable to attend this event - it is a long way for her to come, but perhaps one year we can arrange it. Right now she is getting ready for her annual holiday, and like most people in Europe, she will be on holiday for the first two weeks of August. Our UK office will be closed during this time, however, you cam always reach us by email: info@birthinternational.com
