Live Workshops & Training

Evidence-based workshops commissioned by allied health clinics and organisations delivered in person or via Zoom

These workshops are designed for experienced allied health clinicians not adapted from generic communication or management training. They are practical, evidence-based, and built to be applied in the consultation room the same week.

Sessions run from 30 to 90 minutes and can be booked individually, combined into a half-day programme or over series of sessions. Annette delivers in person at your clinic, at an offsite venue, or via Zoom. She also travels interstate, current confirmed dates are listed below.

Mentoring for Mastery

FULL PROGRAMME

A five-session live cohort programme for senior allied health clinicians who want to mentor with more intention, skill, and structure.

The programme is built around five disciplines:

1. Intention — clarifying what you are developing before the conversation begins

2. Attention — listening for reasoning quality, not just the answer

3. Regulation — managing your own state so you can hold the space

4. Intervention — choosing the right response at the right moment

5. Elevation — developing clinical identity and independent judgement in others

Five sessions via Zoom. 60 minutes per session. Fortnightly. Maximum 10 participants.

Also available as an Intensive cohort with additional 1:1 calls with Annette.
