Why I Go To Seminars

Firstly, I am mandated by the chiropractic college to have a certain about of continuing education hours each year.  I have always considered this to be the minimum amount and I take more than is required, every year. This is to ensure that my skills are at the highest levels to support the type of care that I deliver and to serve my patients to the best of my abilities.  

I work with people and we are dynamic beings, always moving, changing, growing, evolving and new techniques and technologies are required to adapt to the ever changing needs of a person.

In April, I went to an intermediate and advanced technique workshop and I was conflicted in going.  I wanted to go because I was excited to learn and yet I felt guilty because I would be away from my young child for the entire workweek and then the weekend.  I hemmed and hawed and signed up for the course. I told myself, that if I were to go, I would need to be fully present because it would have to be worth my time away from my family….and it was.  

Firstly, I learned more technical skills to improve the quality of care that I am giving.  I built upon what I already knew and further refined care at the higher levels. This itself has made a world of difference.

More importantly, I improved upon myself, the person delivering the care.  I realised that I’ve been operating out of habit and on auto-pilot and that I was getting bored.  There were moments where I was inspired but it was never long lasting.

During the workshop, I had the chance and was forced to see how I had been operating and given the opportunity to increase my energy levels to operate at a new capacity.  The result being, an increased level of presence in the office, renewed joy while working with patients, gratitude for my family and feeling more of who I know myself to be.

When I change myself, and it is a conscious choice to change, and shift my state;  I affect everyone that I come in contact with which in turns affects those that others come in contact with.  Over time, you never know how far reaching each interaction can be.

Are there areas in your life where you are just getting by?  Are there any areas that require more attention or focus? Come to an advanced workshop 613-761-1600
