Communication seminars for Inova Fairfax Hospital:

 

"Being in the healthcare, service & education fields, I have taken many communication classes, some good, some not so good.  One of the highlights of my training has been with Linda’s Service Excellence classes, which were fun, engaging, and useful to my practical work.  Through small group dynamics, Linda efficiently addressed a number of areas I could improve immediately & gave me some great “ah-ha” moments.  Time worthwhile for anyone who wants to improve their communication skills!”  

 

"As a bedside nurse for 10 years, I thought I had people all figured out when it came to communication and body language, but when I first heard Linda Ray in a communication training class, I knew I had more to learn! She has unique insight to what motivates people and how to discuss everything from the weather to a person's private emotions. She is able to help anyone improve their communication skills about any subject, be it medical or not. I really enjoyed working with her and learning how to communicate and really hear my patients as opposed to speaking at them. Body language is so much of a conversation, and busy professionals often forget or neglect that. It was very fulfilling to me to reconnect to patients and their families just by slightly changing my actions, and it doesn't take any longer to."
