We collaborated with Leigh Caswell from Presbyterian Healthcare to co-facilitate a 4-hour discussion group with New Mexico Action Coalition committee members and key stakeholders. This was for the New Mexico Center for Nursing Excellence to solicit feedback about the findings of a series of community assessments of health needs in New Mexico with emphasis on the impact nursing can have on planning, implementation and evaluation of meeting these health needs. We received positive feedback about the day and look forward to facilitating another session at the end of the month!
Strategic session with Center for Nursing Excellence stakeholders
We designed this training to be highly interactive and gather input through various techniques (activities, discussion, reflection, etc.).
At Soda Creek, we always incorporate the principles of adult learning into everything we design- training session, curricula, educational materials, etc.
Cheryl delivered her second training at
First Choice Community Healthcare. She trained staff to develop and enhance their communication skills in order to improve service delivery to patients and encourage a positive working environment. Soda Creek partnered with
Native Community Development Associates to review and revise the curriculum for the training and to deliver the actual training.
We just finished a customer service training with Native Community Development Associates (NCDA) for
First Choice Community Healthcare. It was a great success and a lot of fun! Cheryl Christopherson (Soda Creek) was the lead trainer and
Melissa Riley (NCDA) co-facilitated. Participants were engaged, involved, and asked many great questions. In addition to co-owning Soda Creek, Ms. Christopherson is a full-time Registered Nurse. Her hands-on experience in the medical field is an invaluable asset when training other medical professionals. They can easily relate to her and her examples when they know she “walks the talk.” Great job, Cheryl!
When we lead trainings we emphasize adult learning principles. This includes creating a safe and comfortable environment, doing activities that are appropriate for different learning styles, building off the expertise and experiences of everyone in the room, and ensuring people can immediately apply what they learn to their work and life.
