Free Virtual Summit

Presented by
National Association of Neonatal Therapists

I'm a lot like you.

I work in the NICU. And I love my work. And maybe some of the challenges I experience sound familiar to you.

  • The unit's been busy all day. You run from home to work to your kids' events, dinner, laundry, straightening. You took 3 more phone calls from family and friends than you had time for and end up falling into bed too late again, still hearing the beeps of the monitors or the rhythm of the oscillator in your head. You feel like your life is about putting out fires.

  • You need to use more evidence in your practice but wonder how to efficiently research all you need to know while meeting the needs of your patients and their families in the moment.

  • Whether you've been a therapist or other NICU caregiver for 1 year, 9 years, or 25 years you seek new ways to grow and learn and feel energized about what you're doing.

  • Some work days you find yourself tempted to just go through the motions of your job, until you look down and remind yourself that this baby is someone's precious daughter. And at that moment you feel the pang in your gut that makes you want to do better. That feeling is why you love this job in the first place.

If you want to feel a renewed sense of purpose for your work in the NICU join us for an awesome day that will provide real solutions to improve your work and life.

Whether you're a member of NANT or not, whether you're a therapist or not, join us for a FREE Virtual Summit on December 14th titled: Practice with Purpose: Intentional Caregiving in the NICU!! This Virtual Summit is open to ANYONE who signs up – and it's FREE!!

Typically only our members get to experience this level of ease with education. They receive a Special Topic Call or webinar once a month as part of their membership. Our members have been blown away by the value of this benefit.

We want you to share in our excitement, vision and generosity.

This 5 hour event includes 4 amazing speakers and gives you a one hour break for lunch. And all you have to do is register here and pick up the phone and listen on December 14th!

Title: Live Creative, Not Reactive: 7 Simple Steps to a More Empowered Approach to your Work and Life

Description:

Let's face it. The hospital is a reactive place. You are forced to deal with situation after situation all day long.

It can be dramatic and stressful.

Only problem is this one truth that neonatal therapists understand to their core:

True healing is CREATIVE.

That being said, how do we carve out the space for our creative work to happen? How do we BECOME the change we are looking for in the world of health care?

On this call, we will walk you through 7 steps to a more creative path in your work and life. You'll learn:

  • One simple daily habit that will instantly transform the results in your work.

  • How to identify and shift energy-thieves - like drama and negativity.

  • The most socially accepted killer of creative thinking - and how to eliminate it from your world!

  • Easy practices for creating more energy and enthusiasm no matter what is happening around you!

Join Christine Kane and Sue Ludwig for a lively (and brutally authentic!) discussion on true transformation from the inside out!

Title: Intentional Caregiving in the NICU: The Art of Delivering Excellent Care

Description:

You may wonder what setting an intention has to do with working in an intensive care unit. Or what it even means to set an intention.

Setting an intention is taking a moment to consciously choose how you will show up in each situation.

It also means you take responsibility for the kind of energy you bring to each baby you see.

This teleseminar will provide you with practical ways to incorporate the practice of intention into your everyday work in the NICU as well as the life you lead when you walk out the door of the hospital.

You’ll find yourself applying these simple life changing practices in the NICU and at home. I felt my stress decrease and my life view change for the better the day I started to use this practice. Truly.
