Education for dental or medical healthcare professionals
This was my first experience presenting to a professional group of approximately 150 dental professionals. The event was hosted by a periodontal office that invited referring or potential referring dental office staff for continuing education credits. I definitely have a new appreciation for the time it takes to plan, coordinate, and deliver a valuable presentation to a specialized group of professionals. I was beyond nervous that I would forget information and get lost in my notes but somehow I pulled it off without a glitch (maybe divine intervention). I incorporated some seated self breath assessment followed by instruction on AD/TATD breath and supplemented with some resisted breathing challenge and movement to blow up a balloon. I had some question/answer with prizes to keep my audience engaged as well as some mindful movement standing at the half way point of the lecture. Overall, it was an amazing experience that resulted in some private practice business. I will hopefully be doing this lecture again in the future as my time becomes a little more free as my kids are starting college.
