We’re now pleased to be able to bring to you uplifting and positive messages from a number of high profile sources.
The goal is to give us all a bit of a ‘bounce in our step’ when we read something which is inspiring for us – and our clients. Each quote has been carefully selected so they can be utilised in our practice rooms when we work with a client.
The posts will be regularly updated every few days by our social media team. We hope you enjoy them and feel free to give them a hearty thumbs up when they appear on your feed!
We’ve deliberately set out to find sayings and thoughts that are designed to give us a chance to pause. To think. To reflect.
Most of the inspirational quotes being used are there to help us to engage with our Intellectual brains. They’re designed to assist us in planning a way forward in our lives.
We’ve drawn them from a variety of sources, including USA TODAY, business.com and Buddhist thinkings.
We hope that each and every researched quote adds value to being an NBH member as our posts continue to raise the profile of the organisation to a wider audience.
CORP and MacBook
We’re pleased to let NBH members know that our CORP package is now available for usage on MacBook.
It’s a crucial development for NBH as we’ve listened to your feedback and recognise introducing CORP onto the MacBook platform is important for many of our members as they continue to utilise the system to accurately record client outcomes.
We’ve inputted significant investment into ensuring the system works well on MacBook and that it continues to perform to an exceptionally high standard on standard laptop systems.
If you haven’t already joined CORP then do take a look at some of the key benefits: https://www.corp-outcomes.com/analysis/
In summary, it allows an individual client to chart and monitor their progress at each and every appointment. In short, they can see they’re moving forwards.
It also allows you to highlight the successes of your practice to perspective clients during the Initial Consultation.
The data is completely anonymous and that gives us a great opportunity to show someone how many sessions would normally be required to achieve a specific goal.
CORP also provides us with a great opportunity to monitor our own performance. Realistically, there will inevitably be the peaks and troughs which you’d expect to experience in any profession.
When we spot a trough then we can chat it through with our supervisor. Why did that happen? Was it because the client had reached the bottom of their ‘stress bucket,’ and, as such, had finally found a resolution for the cause of any underlying issues?
Or, had they developed a new coping technique which was taking time to cement itself into place?
Perhaps they’d been a unexpected problem in the workplace which had knocked them back a bit? All of these can be factors to consider when we’re looking at a graph of results and noticing an unexpected dip during the course of its plotting.
CORP is a wonderfully easy tool to use. Everything about it is designed specifically for therapy work – and that includes the dashboard which is created to provide you (and your client) with a sense of calm and tranquillity.
It’s the reason why we deliberately selected a neutral palette for the screen colours.
And we’ve also taken into account the need to provide quick and easy to identify information for your client to absorb – without any extraneous information cluttering the screen.
There are a number of areas where we measure a client’s outcome between sessions.
These can include how ‘positive their thoughts’ have been through to how ‘interactive’ they’ve found themselves to be with other people.
Training taught us that an important consideration centres around positive action, positive interaction and positive thinking.
It’s what helps us to generate that all important serotonin and that’s the stuff that helps us to cope with life as a ‘happy, brave little soul.’
As such, other measuring questions look at the rate of activity since the previous appointment.
We also look at confidence scaling and we monitor how a client has successfully utilised their strengths and resources. Plus, how much have they achieved? And, how do they rate their level of happiness.
Obviously these questions are very subjective to the individual and the data is solely reflective to their scoring. The measurement of time is the control perimeter we use to ensure the data provides a true reflection of progress.
