23 November 2019
Join us at Rydges South Bank in Brisbane, Queensland, for two interactive and immersive Workshops by leading experts on Saturday 23 November 2019 from 9:00am - 5:00pm.
Workshop 1 will be presented by Dr Victor Bray and Dr Jonette Owen, and Workshop 2 will be presented by Dr Dunay Schmulian. Choose to attend one or both workshops and gain up to 6 CPD points (3 CPD points per workshop).
WORKSHOP 1
Personality Temperaments and Clinician-Patient Interactions presented by Dr Victor Bray and Dr Jonette Owen
Clinician/patient as well as clinician/clinician interactions can be rewarding or frustrating, collegial or confrontational, straight-forward or circular. Why? Sometimes it is not about the objective information on which there may be agreement, but the personality interactions and subjective interpretations among individuals. This workshop will explore how personality can impact patient care and collaborative care. The model used will be the four Keirsey personality temperaments of Artisan (SP, focus on tactics), Guardian (SJ, focus on logistics), Idealists (NF, focus on diplomacy), and Rationals (NT, focus on strategy). In this interactive workshop, participants will self-determine their temperament, be grouped by temperament types and the discussion will continue as the participants assume the role of both clinician and patient within their own types. Exercises will then be conducted across types to demonstrate potential conflicts, resolution barriers, and ways to defuse conflict through understanding of the different temperaments.
Learning Outcomes:
- Classify different personality types into the four Kiersey Temperaments of Artisan, Guardian, Idealist, and Rational
- Recognize the positive and negative aspects of interpersonal interactions that can occur among the four Kiersey Temperaments
- Apply Kiersey Temperament information in clinical situations to improve clinician-patient interactions

WORKSHOP 2
Am I bad, mad, sad or really just an Imposter? 10 critical things every audiology professional should know to prevent Imposterism and Burnout Workshop presented by Dr Dunay Schmulian
Burnout is a job-related condition leading to emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and reduced personal accomplishment. The short and long-term consequences of burnout can be extensive. Irrespective of career stage, the sensitive nature of the role of an audiologist is susceptible to Burnout.
A recent problem that emerged in the news is Imposterism, a feeling of phoniness despite all evidence of belonging. It is no surprise that work-related mental health is now a top priority of the Occupational Health and Safety strategy (2002-2012)*, currently in its implementation phase.
Designed for audiologists, you will be exposed to the latest research in audiology dealing with Imposterism and Burnout. Participants will be guided through exercises to recognise and remedy immediate and longer terms strategies by introducing them to the Imposterism and Burnout Toolkit. Participants will be invited to commit to the Accountability Pledge.

Learning Outcomes:
- Recognise the signs of Burnout and Imposterism
- Redirect your actions and learn strategies to future-proof yourself against Burnout and prolonged Imposterism
- Revitalise your commitment to client-centered care
