The Difference Collaborative

Facilitation of ideation session aimed at helping healthcare workers with empathy overload 

The Difference Collaborative is a nation-wide group of doctors, nurses, and health care professionals dedicated to mitigating the impact of empathy overload among nurses. This problem results in high turnover, high mortality rates, and significant human errors in the American medical system. 

For this conference two activities, insight discovery (with nine speakers) and solution ideation, were live captured to increase engagement, raise listening levels, create shared understanding and generate solution mapping. 

The eventing prior to the workshop the team of facilitators (including myself) was able to meet with the workshop speakers and participants in an informal happy-hour. During this time I was able to create meaningful connections, better understand purpose, and craft vision, allowing for greater productivity on the workshop day.
